I'm not for a stricter ruleset, just a more consistent one, and if you do somehow manage to break the rules, suffer harsher punishment.

Wait what? Would this ban someone for not labeling a spoiler?

What If its just some random shit?
No
Accidental spoilers wouldn't result in a ban. Just a polite request to label it as such.

So I couldn't do this?

Spoiler

as long as you tell people it's a spoiler for whatever the discussion at hand is before they open it, yeah, you can post spoiler images in a spoiler tag.

Exactly this.

It's not like you have to carefully craft each post you make as to not break the rules

you have to intentionally break them to break them

Like, for how many months after MGS5 is released should spoilers be punishable?

3 months seems reasonable to me.

I originally said 3 weeks but maybe that would be for more severe punishments.

Ideally, the punishment starts off more severe the closer we are to release date.

Layering timeframes for different punishments is a little over-complicated, don't you think? Ideally, it should be a strict "x days minimum" with punishment length increasing with successive bans. This, of course, all takes place within the time frame of whatever is considered "spoiler free".

Elai · August 30, 2015, 01:21:22 AM

And if you do happen to break the 3 rules we have

you deserve a severe punishment. End of story.

If its consistent, then the end should be permaban.

That's why I said "ideally".

I guess.

I still think there should be a 3 week bubble around release dates where the punishments are more severe.

I think... maybe, this thread is an indication that people want change, real change in the way the rules are handled.
However this proceeds I think that point is clear.

🍁 Aria 🔮 · August 30, 2015, 01:24:07 AM

In general, I think a 24 hour ban should be limited to forced cool-off time for people who are getting overtly temperamental in a discussion and refuse to calm down after moderator requests. A 3-day minimum on bans just seems to be a good balance between punishment and the need for activity.

Anybody that breaks the rules without remorse imo should be permaban'd

but that's unrealistic, i know

Girl of Mystery · August 30, 2015, 01:24:48 AM

Spoiler threads are fair game though, as long as the title is labelled as such, because they're intended for spoiler discussion

Naturally, but if you keep breaking any rules beyond three times (any rule) then...strike three you're out!

I like to think that Coup moderation was based around good ideas but weighed down by incredibly vague rules.

I'd do it but clearly my ideals don't line up with everyone

as long as thread-specific temporary permissions and harsher bans are included i'm good
