Re: For the duration of the server war??
Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2008 10:16 am
so if the war ends, everyone will be unbanned, and what if we start the war the next day ??
These are the forums for the GateWa.rs family of text-based space-centred PBBGs

Whereub banned for the duration of the server war.
well, first of all, when whereub tries to login it says:Information
You have been permanently banned from this board.
Please contact the Board Administrator for more information.
A ban has been issued on your username.
permanently, not till the duration of the war (well, for me is the same thing lol)
Nox wrote:and ive been searching his posts, and i havent found any recently where he has gone against the rules did you delete it ???
and if it was till the end of the war, im guessing it was in the war thread right?
or ppl with 3 warnings, outside the war thread, now get banned till the end of the war also?
Jack's Ghost wrote:No I didn't send it in a PM, as I'm not about to message the entire forum. Besides, that isn't an excuse, he posted right after I posted to tell everyone to stop. He then reposted something he knew another user was warned and banned for.
When you see mod text, you need to read the mod text. There is no excuse not to, and if you get banned because you wouldn't take the time to read what is right in front of your face, then the problem is yours, not mine.
There's really no excuse for his behavior, he disobeyed a mod and he reposted something that he knew got another user warned and banned for. I don't know about your world, but here in the real one, if a cop sees you doing 90 in a 20, he's not going to give you a warning, he's going to haul your ass off to jail. Fact of the matter is, I caught Manetheren doing 90 in a 20, even after he had many giant signs warning him not to.

Doing 90 in a 20 Jack.. interesting analogy. Odd thing is, if I did do 90 in a 20, yeah I would go to jail but then I would get a trial. In this case the arresting officer is also the Judge and Jury and I ve been sentenced to life.
I got 2 warnings in the space of 30 seconds for posts I had done long before that.. doesnt that defeat the purpose of a warning? One of the two warnings was for this:
I posted "Im fracking confused" in response to Jack's post "Phalus is not only not a filtered word, but it is also the replacement for a filtered word. "
Apparently my not understanding what a mod posted is spamming or disobeying a mod. Draleg also posted the same thing a page or two later. Did he get warned?
The 2nd post was regarding clarifying why brdavs got banned. I understand that was not the place to discuss said banning and can agree that deserves a warning. But then again I wasnt the 1st person to bring up his banning in that topic. From my standpoint as a user, it is hard to distinguish what is acceptable to post at times. That's because the system isnt standardized. One mod sees things one way while another sees it differently. Some people are allowed to say things while others are not.
In that same thread, read Nooberts post.
viewtopic.php?f=68&t=118932&start=7920
Is that word acceptable or was he warned?
In any case I hope someone is working on revising the whole banning system because it seems a bit out of whack to me. For someone who had never received a warning in the 3.5 years playing this game, I'd like think I have some credibility.
Manetheren
P.S. Would I get a warning for saying this: "They should have thought about that before breaking the goddamn rules?"

my problem is basically why isnt there a standard monitoring there, like manetheren said, and ive been saying, some mods see/act a certain way, others another way, own policys/rules some ppl get away with certain remarks, others with a simple post get banned, its strange to me
mods arent omnipresent as so many foolishly beleive.
back in the day, ppl that misbehave would get suspended for a certain time, thats ok by me, now banning forever cause of not agreeing with jack in that thread is nonsense lol (and yeah i say forever cause doesnt matter how many ppl u ban, the war will continue, you can ban the entire TAF but we will continue) and besides, its a war thread, i dont get why cant there be spam or taunting or anything there, you guys just want war talk, thats not fun at all
the ban isnt 'FOREVER'. its till the end of the server war.
obviously you dont understand the reasons for the strict rules set there.
people were disrespectful and after numerous repeated instructions that went on for AGES..... the mod team had to enforce new rules there to bring it back under controll. and its a war thread, thus war talk. spam goes elsewhere. thats the simple truth.
now this situation wouldnt be here if people would be more respectful and bother to listen to the moderators. if they cant follow the rules they have no place here anyway imo.
another thing is this post made by jack on the war thread:

so isnt this breaking the rules, with 1 post, someone can get the 2 warnings and banned???
if a mod can do whatever he wants, then whats the point of even posting anything, we cant go against him, he has all the power here, its simple, some ppl just dont know how to handle responsibility
jack followed the rules set, he enforced them. people were banned because they cant follow those rules. thats all there is to it. and has been said NUMEROUS times.

or when told not to say something or not to bring it up again and a mod does ....its ok ?
As the rules state...there is to be no spam, there can be a little light heartidness, but if its off topic then it is spam. Do you have some form of evidence to this claim?
Jack wrote:No, it's not breaking the rules. People routinely receive warnings for deliberately disobeying mods. I had warned people verbally countless times to take the spam else where, and I had banned several for the samething. What the hell do you expect will happen if you do the exact samething Billy Joe just got banned for?
