MarMar Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 I agree that it is too soft, but the general opinion is that we are too strict.
-Chris- Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Does what work? Well, 1. A member joins after agreeing with terms and conditions. Said member breakds the rules (not only the spag rule). 2. Said member gets a PM with a polite request to read the rules (w/link). 3. Member breaks the rules again, and gets a warning which is logged in the mod-forum. 4. Depending on the severity of the offence, ie. member abuse, the member has two more warnings "to go" - in all 3 warnings (unless it's serious). 5. When the members has used all his warning, he will get a temp. ban. 6. If the member still breaks the rules, it's a perm. ban. I think thats fair, & so are the Forum Rules.
Elise Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 It is fair, but some people get away with so much. Hotlinkers especially, should have their account privlidges stripped, ie; not allowed to display an avatar for a certian period of time, and repeat offenses will have that disabled indefinitley, until they can prove it will not happen again. There is nothing I hate more than people 'stealing' fantastic work from people who put their heart and soul for everyone to share.
MarMar Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 I'm not sure it's possible to diable the use of avatar... We as mods cannot so it. Maybe the admins can.
-Chris- Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Yes I agree. And the more people who come here, the worse it will get, as more people will mean more posts and it will become harder to manage. So I think that the rules maybe be made a little harder, to rule out the problems NOW before things can get worse.
-Chris- Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 I'm not sure it's possible to diable the use of avatar... We as mods cannot so it. Maybe the admins can. I think you can... I have a board and you can. You can stop certain users from doing certain things, like displaying avatars
MarMar Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 I know that I can't. I remove avatars weekly.
-Chris- Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Try telling that to the hordes... Well people will have to understand that the rules benefit them! and they have a purpose, its not like you just make rules for no reason. They are to keep the whole site running smoothly and not turning into a massive spam and junk place.
MarMar Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 Exactly, but a few threads, for instance in comments and suggestion, says that they don't get it.
