4 a.iii
5 c
Section 4: Spam
a. Topics.
Topics will be considered spam if they fit into one of three categories.
i) They appear in the wrong section of the board.
ii) The poster has made more topics than is reasonable for one user within the day. A moderator will judge this based upon the topics created and where they are created at.
iii) The topic has already been locked by a moderator and the user has reposted the topic.
Consequence:
Topics in the wrong section will generally be moved to the correct section with no consequence. Users who post too many topics or repost locked topics will be given one warning point.
c. Abuse / Racism
Members of the SGW community are required to speak courteously to others. Personal attacks on other members are not tolerated. This includes comments about one’s sex, gender, skin color, religion, or cultural heritage. You may not post personal information about another user regardless of how it was obtained. This includes their address, phone numbers, names, or any other detail about their real life status that they have not already posted on the SGW forums themselves. For exceptions to this rule please see the role playing section (section 6).
Consequence:
Minor infringements such as throw away comments may be ignored. If not, a verbal warning from a moderator will be issued requesting the user to tone it down. More serious cases and repeated breaking of the rule will result in the issuing of warning points. Very serious comments will be given more warning points. This will be judged with input from the Forum Administrators and Moderators.Rabbid Thom wrote:i do not see any purpose of that thread what so ever other than to troll another member
while both sides contiune to troll one another both sides will continue to receive verbals then warning points then ultimately bans
if you feel this is unjust then lobby it to psycho and Haz Via the ombudsman section.
Ok, where do I begin, let's go with a timeline of events that have led us to this.
When Robert was banned, I created a topic to ridicule Robert in regards to him saying he is leaving the forums, yet again. This was sequentially moved to the public dump.
So, I made another topic that was orientated to in-game content, namely a topic about Robert.
The reasoning for my warning is spam and abuse.
I believe that I have not infringed any of the rules stated above. Other than
iii) The topic has already been locked by a moderator and the user has re-posted the topic. I would like to reiterate the fact that this is a completely different topic which is related to in-game discussions.
Sorry, could you direct me to the section where trolling is against the forum rules?

Your indecision and lack of making a judgement behind closed doors is frankly a joke.
I am not talking about the first thread. Yes, I felt your comments were fully justified and was glad for the friendly warning. Thank you. I did not conceive it as an official warning however.

I am not, however, what is the difference between this and my thread?

Questioning a forum account with other players.

Robert and I are active players...

Again...Robert is an active member of ingame. This is my justification. I was talking about an ingame player, these are similar to my thread.

One rule for me, one rule for everybody else?Psyko wrote:Again, I personally explained what was wrong with your previous thread about R0B3RT via PM, going so far as to explain why further ridicule of him would remain to be out of line and not a path you wanted to take.

Consequence:
Topics in the wrong section will generally be moved to the correct section with no consequence. Users who post too many topics or repost locked topics will be given one warning point.
Now, I've been very busy and not able to hold anyone's hand during the recent dust-ups between users, so I'm only mildly sorry that I've not been checking each and every report that comes up in my section in the last week or so.
General Mods know how to do their jobs, generally.
If that was your intention, you did it in a subtle way as not to intend it as an official warning.
