Make sure that it is clearly understood that the two of you should not have to hold this
conversation again. If you criticize/flame a person, you do not need to mention it again and
again over and over again in other threads for the same accusation.
People on this forum are not stupid.

u might be wrong there lol

we need some flames once in awhile or this forum will be boring.
to many rules on a forum is like being at school.. it sucks

thats my view on it

Stop people from posting 'omg lol botter' 'LOLER GOLD BUYERZ' in every damn topic. We have a section for that. It'd be nice to cut back on spam but...there's way to much of that for just you two to handle. =\

Actually do something about the useless posts. A warning system would be good. Or disabling post count.

Ban one person for bot accusation to send a message to the rest.
Right now the Zero Tolerance thing seems like more talk than action.

Don't lock topics because you think people will flaim. This only will irritate people who's intention was not to flame (and also the people who's intention was to flame :P ). Just wait and see, if anyone flames, edit and give warning. Second time flaiming = lock.

Though it'd probably be hard to get solid evidence, much harder than botting. But, if solid evidence is however produced they should be banned.

Report this post


Disabling post is to extreme. A warning system based on how constructive the person's post can be put in place. If someone make's a useless post report it and they will be given a light warning, the second time will be a real warning.

People have been publicly and privately warned for bot accusation without proof. Usually, after being warned once they never make the mistake of falsely accusing someone again. A person cannot be banned after one warning, but if warnings build up and the final Warning (3rd one) is a bot accusation one, then they will be banned for Bot accusation without evidence.

Quote:

If a topic that was not intended to involve Venus, starts to revolve around venus; report the thread. I will split the Topic and send the Venus post where they belong, and I'll warn the original hijacker.

True, I know what you mean. From now on, topics won't be locked immediately. Instead we will use the Zero-Tolerance rule more often. Make sure to report threads that are full of flames. Stay vigilant.

I'll bring this up in the EL.

Typing constructively is necessary. We can't ban specific terms but we can warn for Bot accusation and topic hijacking.

Just to follow on from this, we do have a warning system, and since the Zero Tolerance rules came in, many have been handed out, and those that have been warned have not rarely re-offended. In fact, im pretty sure I've only given 1 person a 2nd warning, and that person has since eaten banhamma for being an arse in other sections.

Agreed, when people post an in game screen-shot, you always have one person with a "no yellow boxes. Botter." post..

so i think that no bot accusations would be nice.

Edit: this accusations usually cause conflict in the forum. so it's gotta be a bonus if something to stop them is made :)

I have a new suggestion that would clean out a few idiots in GD.
Banning for posting things that aren't yours and claiming them to be your own, or just outright attention-whoring.
Here's a ban from the AC for ripping:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=88576

And two recent threads in GD where the posters are absolute liars:
SkanKaZoiD
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=94853

Tokughavita
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=94558

Thoughts ?

Both Trolls, I think the big 5 rules need an update.

I don't know why im 2nd guessing my self, but i'm pretty sure there was a "video section".

I for one liked the idea and found some of the videos posted there interesting.

So it would be cool if you guys brought back the "video section".

Locking flamebaiting topics isn't to strict imo, generally people are stupid and do flame, like myself, preventing that is key.

Try to keep the accusations down. For those saying keeping every thread venus related is cause those from venus come here to give the bits of knowledge we have but others snap back like "we dont like your kind around here."

Don't mean to target you but in my opinion that would cause more spam in the forums as new comers would want to post a new topic. It is good at the amount it is now.

I'd also like to add that an IQ test must be taken before registration is completed and the user must score at an average level to be allowed to register. It will keep this :banghead: from being needed.
