Banning Intensifies

Cheat · October 27, 2014, 04:53:16 PM

After so much of this finger pointing, name calling, and blame-gaming that's been going around causing people to drop out of the forum as well as taking up a lot of my god damn time, I've decided to be a bit more harsh to repeat offenders.

If you have been Lite-Banned before and you do some stupid shit again, be prepared for a 7 day ban, minimum.

Do you have a rather long history of slaps on the wrist and one or two day Lite-Bans? Prepare yourselves for a fun-filled vacation away from this forum for a minimum of 7 days. Mega jerks might even win double vacation time.

Let's be real: nobody really wants to put up with all this drama. We just want to post videos, have light discussions with people we vaguely know, and make online friends and stuff. The censors are gone and we don't have to worry about Adsense breathing down our assholes, so lighten up, stop taking things so seriously, and especially refrain from being a dick bag.

Thanks,
That fucking faggot who made this goddamn site

Good.
For a few idiots, this was sorely needed.

It makes me laugh.

Sorry.

It's a shame how it only takes a select few to ruin things.

Phew, I thought I was in trouble for a second there.

Everytime somebody cries and throws a fit we all get some new rule imposed on us. First it was no more Anarchy now this shit.

Well those select few are the only ones who have to worry.

Does this mean people who insult users will be warned and then banned for doing it again?

Not necessarily but to an extent it does.

If they clearly aren't getting the message to play nice, even after a bunch of warnings then why should the rest of the forum put up with their shit? Calling someone an idiot isn't going to be a bannable offence if that's your concern.

It's not a new rule; if you screw up multiple times then you'll be gone longer than usual. It seems pretty fair to me, since we've only really given out 2 to 3 day bans for the majority of assholes.

Oh, so then I'm not sure what is being changed here.

Our response to repeat offenders is being changed. The rules are the same.

Not a whole lot, it's literally just harsher sentences for the repeat offenders. This isn't going to affect the vast majority of the people on here but it will come down to those who still don't get the message to play nicely.

Hell, you don't even have to play nicely but certain people are crossing the line with impunity at the moment and now they are going to get hit pretty damn hard for it.

Technically nothing's changed, just that the place might seem more relaxed

Considering that we no longer are with Adsense couldn't we just let people run amok for the most part and only have rules against harassment and illegal content? Would the current advertising service allow that?

Good. Put the boot down when it's needed.

It's really not that hard to not get bans on this site. Even I haven't been banned in the past month, and before that, I pretty much knew when I made a post that I'd get banned for. It does seem like this whole thread is designed to placate the whiners of the forum, though.
