OLD Infraction System/Forum Rules (No longer active)

[evkl]

We're working on clarifying the rule. At present just do us a favor and don't talk about it; a more specific guideline should be out soon.

That said, it'd likely be a forum specific rule violation at present.

Illegal sockpuppeting is having multiple accounts. If we catch you, we'll infract.

So now the only time we can use sockpuppets is during Halloween? Meh, my socks were already banned anyway.

Also, can't we have a difference in minor and major trolling (and maybe flaming too)? I mean, some people troll (at least that's how others take it) sometimes by accident, mostly because they're clueless (like me), but others really do it on purpose. Maybe a point or two as a difference?

Moderators always have the ability to modify infractions based on their severity.

yeah I've noticed that before. But it's good tho hear that they're still allowed to do so.

I noticed you guys didn't put insubordination up there.


btw this is no way of me saying I didn't deserve any of these warnings and etc, I'm just showing you that I got a warning for insubordination and I didn't see it on the list in this thread so I thought you'd add it or something. I'll remove the pic from this post asap if I'm not supposed to @_@

Insubordination was under the old listing. The new list is more specific so we don't have to rely on that any more. A user who repeatedly breaks the same rule gets a "Level 2" infraction instead.

[evkl]

Insubordination has been removed as an infraction, but old infractions will not go away.

I've been trying to post on my blog multiple times for the past two days, and I keep getting a message telling me to log in when I am logged in. I looked at the other possible causes, and the only possibility is my account was disabled. I don't think this happened because I haven't done anything horrible, and I haven't recieved an e-mail or PM telling me that I have been disabled. How else might I know? And, if I haven't been disabled, what could be going wrong?

[evkl]

Could you PM me a screenshot of what it looks like when that happens?

I cant believe you got a warning for using the word 'gay' to mean something bad... its pretty common terminology which doesn't really have anything to do with homosexuality.

Yeah, the rules seem sound. I'm good.

How does it not have anything to do with homosexuality?

Basically, it's just a sign of the general population being stupid.

What if people started equating the word "Aussie" with being lame and/or stupid? No worries, it has nothing to do with people from Australia... >_>

[Blazaking]

Doesn't "gay" also mean happy and joyful etc ?
