More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | I've received a few PMs today regarding my decision to ban crazym4n earlier this morning. My reasoning is not due to a forum guideline violation, it is retroactively correcting a series of at least 12 recorded violations. The Terms of Service grant the site owner complete control of the site, and thus powers over site access privileges. When I attempted to send the following post to a concerned member, I was given a message about being PM blocked. Annoying, but I'm not going to force an unblock (even though I can). Instead, I'll open this up to the membership publicly. I was questioned if the TOS were a real page, or that I was "pulling them out of my ass". Here is the response I intended to send about 10 minutes ago:
If anybody has questions or comments, please feel free to post them or PM them to me, and I will answer them accordingly. Keep looking up, ///TESSOU/// | ||

People don't take the guidelines seriously far too often. Also, I once again motion to revive the judiciary committee. |

It doesn't look good to say one thing, do another, then change your mind. Please be more clear with your actions in the future, all of you. Signed, A Concerned Long-Time Member |

Confused as well. Did Tessou reverse his decision? | ||

This worries me even more, but I believe Perry when he says it will be explained. Therefore I shall wait patiently for that explanation. Cheers! | ||

The full report will be posted soon. I'd blab, but this is one of those instances where I've been sworn to secrecy. |

If you own the forum...how could this have been done if you didn't want it to happen? Honestly, it makes no sense Casey | ||

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | Because consensus between Perry and I was that it would be better to see how he handles the new warning system, in which warns are permanent. He has a history of jumping up to 66% and then disappearing for a few months so it cools back down to 0%. This is true for many other members on the site, and it's aggravating to see that the entire purpose of the warning system is meaningless to problematic members. That said, major warns are now permanent. Minor, common noob mistakes will be treated with more lenience, but regular offenders will feel the heat. |

So are you going to be putting up a new version of the forum guidelines or is the current one still valid for now? | ||
