In the past it was allowed to post on behalf of banned users as long as you took responsibility for what you posted on their behalf.
When was the rules changed so that you could only do so in the Ombusman section?
Les Ennemis asked me to post and request the war thread he made be locked.

Re: Posting for banned users.
Your question was answered in PM after you originally asked it there. Does this really require a topic?

Re: Posting for banned users.
As far as I am aware the rule about posting on behalf of banned users has never changed.
However, you did spam as a result of posting on behalf of Les.

I think you should change 'in the past' to 'in my head' because it's been the way it is for as long as I've been a mod and longer.

Re: Posting for banned users.
You've never been allowed to, granted; but how often have people gotten away with it in the past?
Remember a certain person who was permabanned back in the day but everyone posted for him? Or Harch, who regularly had people post for him?

Re: Posting for banned users.
Things will always slip through, but the rule states strictly forbidden.
And fact is femme broke 2 rules by posting on Les's behalf, she's lucky she got 1 warning not 2.

we knew there was a change sometime... thankies for digging it up, SS...
"Great holy armies shall be gathered and trained to fight all who embrace evil. In the name of the gods, Browsers shall be changed to carry the internet out amongst the peoples and we will spread Firefox to all the unbelievers. The power of the Firefox will be felt far and wide and the wicked users of IE shall be converted to use the true browsers."
Curious about our color? Feel free to ask...

Re: Posting for banned users.
yes it is isn't it Clarkey seeing you responded to my posting but didn't have the curtsey to let me know it was against forum rules now.
Can I get a list of other forum users that have received a full warning for posting for others since the rule change, with out any pre warning?
IMO.. the rule needs further modification.. yes I agree posting everywhere for banned users shouldnt be allowed.. but if user is in a war or is mentioned in a thread somewhere.. then they should have the right for someone to post or respond on their behave.
In this case Les wanted his thread locked, now being banned he cant pm any mods or post himself to request it can he?

And yes, so that other forum users can be made aware of the changes and not receive full warnings unexpectedly.

If you break the rules, and you accumulate the amount of warnings which results in a ban, you lose any rights on the forum, except the right to appeal.
EDIT: Perhaps you should have a look through the rules again. Double posting is also against the rules. You can use the edit function to add more to a post if you wish.

[spoiler]You can get a list by asking all users yourself by sending them PMs.[/spoiler]
First of all femme you need to understand the point of being banned on the forums for breaking rules. The point of being banned is to be punished for breaking rules, and the point of banning is inability to post on the forums that you broke the rules on. Stop singling out the war threads section. Why should a user who got banned by breaking rules be allowed to post in their war thread? They broke rules so they accept the consequences. The Ombudsman is the right place for someone to be able to post on someone elses behalf. If we allow people to post in war threads on behalf of banned users then what is the point in a user being banned?ƒëmmë ƒatalë wrote:IMO.. the rule needs further modification.. yes I agree posting everywhere for banned users shouldnt be allowed.. but if user is in a war or is mentioned in a thread somewhere.. then they should have the right for someone to post or respond on their behave.

I think I said it before, but feel lucky you didn't get 2 warnings, because the second post you made on behalf of Les was spam. This could have been much worse for you.

Re: Posting for banned users.
Hey, but guys.. what's all this 'read the rules'?
I mean.. who does that? Isn't it easier to just whine and complain about warnings you get for breaking the rules, when you get them?
At some point you might just have experience with ALL the rules.
Seriously though. We do not cater to the laziness of people who are not willing to read the rules, or the -clearly pre-announced- changes made to them. If you don't want to know the rules, you get your warnings 'unexpectedly'. Deal with it.
(2 steps to take from here: 1. Read the rules. / 2. Stop whining.)
