Holiday Cheer and FG's New Infraction System
Hi Everyone,
I've been trying to put this off, but with the exciting week we've just had it looks like my hand has been forced.
Beginning tonight, we are going to be implementing FG's new infraction system. The infraction system follows our simple rules as listed above.
As it stands now, most infractions are worth 1 point and have a 30 day expiration. Three infractions will result in having your account either banned or terminated.
Here are the details:
Spammed Advertisements.
3 points - Banned Account
No "Flaming": Please do not post any messages that harrass, insult, belittle, threaten or flame another member or guest.
1 Point - 30 Days expiration
No "Trolling": Please do not post any topic that disrupts the peace and harmony of this board. Don't create meaningless threads with the sole purpose of starting a dispute. This includes messages in profiles and signatures.
1 Point - 30 Days expiration.
Inappropriate Language
1 Point - 30 Days expiration
No "Spamming": Please do not double post or cross-post the same message in multiple forums. You will not mass-PM or mass-email multiple members of this site the same message. You will not post for the sake of increasing your post count.
1 Point - 30 Days expiration
No "Offensive" Posts, Links or Images: Please do not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, threatening, racist, sexist, discriminatory, or otherwise violative of any local or international laws. This includes links in your signature, profile, bookmarks as well as posted images, photos and avatars. Staff will ultimately decide if something is appropriate or not.
1 Point - 30 Days expiration
All infractions will handled by ForumGarden.

I am glad that the rules have been changed, things were really getting out of hand and so its right that FG have decided to do this. I hope that this will provide everyone with clear guidelines about how to conduct themselves in future and how to handle personal disagreements or personality clashes. Well done FG, now its time for some shameless self-promotion, wait thats no on either is it? Oh well.

No. 3 points and the account is terminated or banned. Points expire in 30 days so think of it like your driver's license.

I think TStone means that we may have moderators in the future, and if we do, they will have certain privileges
Am I right here? :p

I think Tombstone made it quite clear somewhere (where?) that these 'moderators' would not be 'moderating' in the way we all understand and most of us very much dislike the term, but would have clearly defined powers to deal only with legitimate spam (defined) and multiple posts.
The new Infraction System hopefully should make other moderation now unnecessary, anyway.

You're welcome. They're well-written and well-intended. I think we should study them as they apparently were meant to apply to all of us.
