Serious is getting more Serious.

Mr. Psychologist · October 17, 2015, 04:06:15 PM

So in light of recent events in which both times I've tried to clean up a discussion without just resorting to the hammers and neither of which has been remotely successful there is going to be a bit of a change in the serious board.

Think of it as more of a back to basics because we've been pretty lax when it comes to serious lately, well most of us have and some of us haven't which has made consistency a problem.

So I'm going to make it simple for this board for the next while, keep your flaming and personal attacks in the flood. If there is a post in here calling someone else a dumbass, moron, dipshit, dense, retard, spaz, mong, fucking anything, cunt, wanker etc then the person using that term is going to get a one day serious blacklist ban right off the bat.

The next one will be two days and so on and so forth.

If you wish to refer to someone with a perjorative term, tough shit. Call them 'Friend

' instead. I'll be editing any of the offending words out to include 'Friend

' in addition to any bans handed out.

If you see it, report it and it'll be ganked. In the report reason please link to this thread or refer to it in some way, when the report is pertaining to a post in serious.

I'm gonna leave this open for discussion as well, so feedback is appreciated. I'll make the grace period 24 hours as of 17/10/15 22:00 GMT. After that, you better be on good behaviour.

Enjoy the new consistency approach >_>

I think bans should only come if the flaming is drawn out, Calling someone a dumbass is okay every now and then but w/e

Well we did try that to some extent, instead I'm opting for the time out approach.

If you flame, you get put on the naughty step for a day.
It might remind people to keep their rage contained to the flood.

Kitsune 狐 · October 17, 2015, 04:44:02 PM

Does this included "you're an idiot if you believe..." ?

Depends a bit on the context, if it's being used as a jab at someone then byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
if it's more akin to 'you can't possibly believe X = Y' then since that's not so much of an attack it'll be daijoubu.

What the friend did you just friending say about me, you little friend? I'll have you know I graduated top of my friends in the friendly friends, and I've been involved in numerous secret friendships with over 300 confirmed Facebook friends. I am trained in friendly friendfare and I am the top friend in the entire US friendly forces. You are nothing to me but just another friend.

What in Ragnar’s name did you just fucking say about me, you little Swadian? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Sargoth Axe Throwing Academy. I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Swadian land and I have over 300 confirmed rapes. I am trained in pillaging and I am the top axe thrower in the king’s shieldwall. You are nothing to me but just another peasant. I will murder you with savagery the likes of which has never been seen before on Calradia, mark my fucking runes. You think you can get away with saying shit like that to me over the internet? Think again, Swadian. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of Huscarls across Calradia and your fiefs are being scouted right now so you’d better prepare for the storm, peasant. The storm that wipes out your pathetic little thing your call your kingdom. You’re fucking dead, horse-user. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over 700 hundred ways and that’s just with my beard. Not only am I extensively trained in facial combat, but I have access to the entire Nord armory and I will use it to it’s full extent to wipe your miserable arse off of Calradia, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you. Maybe you would have held your fucking tongue, but you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot! I will shit throwing weapons all over you and you will drown in them. You are fucking dead, kiddo. I will drink from your skull!

Not sure if the "Friend

" thing is a really good idea. All it does is give the word a negative connotation by its very nature.

It's kind of a joke really, friend is already the defacto non-insult that people use when they are being facetious.

'Okay friend'

'that's nice friend'

etc

In all likelihood it'll just be a post removal and a slap.

Where was my grace period you cunts

That happened before this update, which kinda was brought about precisely because you got shot for six.
So now everyone gets shot for six in serious.

i'm assuming banter is okay, right

like, if i call meta a fuckazoid for thinking herbert hoover honestly had anything to do with the hoover dam, that's okay, right

Hmm, no banter allowed.

at all

ever

It's a tricky one, I'd just say banter at your own risk. If it's clearly lighthearted, that's fine but if it's just being used to skirt around the hammer then that might get a double slap for causing the staff a headache. lol

how about if i'm referring to someone who isn't a member

like, i basically just called the GOP a bunch of dumbfucks--is that allowed

perhaps it's one of those "if you have to ask, don't do it" sort of things, in which case, i'll remove it

That's fine, it's attacking another user.
