Regarding Spoilers

big sponge · August 31, 2015, 01:58:09 AM

Alright it's been about 24 hours now and I've only received 3 responses. Due to the low number and only one person giving me consent to snip their post out of the thread I went and copy-pasted them into a thread in HQ for staff to discuss.

He's the most qualified (a journalism major IIRC) and he's been doing it for the longest time consecutively. We're not going to fix what isn't broken.
Literally anybody here could write the rules. They're practically copy and pasted anyway.

Why Icy has regular-colored text:

[8/30/15, 7:47:37 PM] Cheat: The problem with that is that blue text is used to differentiate between links and regular text.
[8/30/15, 7:47:47 PM] Cheat: IIRC that's why I never made the text blue.

Calm your tits.
Not very Monitor like for you to tell me to calm my tits because I have an opinion you don't like.

He doesn't need colorized text. He doesn't do anything.

1) I can't speak for other rules (this is a Bungie offsite, after all), but the spoiler rules were absolutely not "practically copy and pasted" from anywhere.

2) Only for you, Chally :^)

Oh, and please don't derail, Psy's already warned once.

If doxxing only has a 1 month ban for punishment then 4-6 months/a year is ridiculous. You guys are out of your minds.

I'm not sure how much of the thread you've read but that 4 - 6 months is the window for the spoiler warning around a piece of media.

Also the other point in this thread was to increase ban times so...

fucking no one's talking about a 4-6 month ban anyway

and that's a shit argument anyway, because there's no reason we couldn't also increase the ban lengths of all rules, as well

i wouldn't mind it if people who dox-dropped were instantly and irrevocably permabanned

we're way too fucking goddamn soft
that's a fact

You guys were arguing for it on the first few pages, and I'm not going to read 15 pages of angry fanboys seeking vengeance.

Not with that attitude!

then it's really kinda stupid to post anything, isn't it

i don't expect you read 400 replies, but i also don't expect you walk in and start talking as though you had

Where? I think you might have mistaken what someone said earlier.

Chally please stop. Icy does have different roles than me and Kupo, and Icy has many more perms than we do.

and spoilers are important in our community

Yeah, and iirc, it was also restated in the first few pages what "4-6 months" referred to.

Doxxing should be a permaban if it's revealing something serious.

Everyone who's done an actual doxxing has been perma banned. Kinder got a one month because it was the first time it had ever happened and cheat wasn't sure how he wanted to deal with it. Comms was banned straight away.

big sponge · August 31, 2015, 12:10:31 PM

Also I thought I told all staff except for Cheat, Psy, and I to stay out of the thread.

That includes monitors.

And yet Camnator's perma became a one month as well.
As well as other cases that I won't bother going into. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

This is an offtopic line of discussion, but when did Camnator dox anyone?
