Can we go back to this?

Serious thread.

Alright guys, higher staff wants us Mods to crack down on enforcing the forum rules and regulations.

This means we have to start being less easy-going.

I'm posting this to help you not get muted, infracted, suspended, or even permanently banned.

Try not to do the following: (RED means avoid at all costs because it's a very common mistake.)

-1-3 word posts I see these the most. We can infract you for each one of these. This is ONLY allowed in the introduction/goodbye section of the forum.
-Double posting
-Triple posting
-Off-topic posts
-Arguing with members or staff*See post #10 in this thread for more details.
-Flaming
-Useless threads
-Porn in the chatbox
-Making multiple accounts or sharing accounts

This is your warning card. Mods will not be so chill when it comes to these offenses anymore. But it's okay because if you've read this thread, you know what to avoid.

Apologies in advanced if you take any offense to this, but things need to improve.

As far as I know these rules never changed, and after a search I found little about conducting yourself on the forums.
Everyone, Including me, have been in violation of the rules and as of late the enforcement of said rules seem rather lax.

There are sections for spam, off-topic and the like. However threads with people asking legitimate questions and asking for help do not need to be trolled or spammed with off topic nonsense. These posts should be kept to the spam sections.

Those sections are there for that reason. To keep things in line. However the line has been fudged and most people violating the rules seem to be let go.

Can we go back to the old days where I can actually read posts in a topic in order to understand whats going on, without having to go and skip literally PAGES of spam about pictures of trolls or the like?

I'm pushing for some reform and more enforcement of rules on the forums.

Please keep the topic serious. I will request that Mods keep this thread clear of spam so we can have a legitimate discussion about this. It needs to be addressed.


If you look in that thread I was arguing against such strict ruling, I am still against that. But we still need SOME rules, and all of them seem to have go to the wayside.
I still stand for what I said in that thread, 3 word limits seem strict as long as they have something useful to say.

Your name is pink because you're ex-staff...
For a reason...
Not being a **** just stating the obvious o.o
*Welcome trolls and flamers*

You know nothing of why im Ex-staff.

I am because of inactivity as a Gm.

Again, Off topic.

Also being Ex-staff does not make exclude me as part of the community.
I still have the right to bring up what I want to bring up and look for change in what I want. Even against large opposition.

[Brutus]

I agree that trolls should be dealt with if there are any. (Personally don't know any as I'm not as active as I was)
I do not agree with Bunny's crack down on wordplay though tatz all

[slugheady]

I think its almost impossible to start that since a big part of the community behaves inappropriate...
The offensive posts deserve to get removed, and a warning given to the poster if it was offensive enough. I think that'll be a good start though I seriously doubt it because, even 2 years ago, it was so hard to get banned (taking myself as an example right now), and now its even harder.

It may be hard for the community to accept but if the mods and admins believe that the forums are getting out of control they have the power to fix it.

I know Jaka has it in him to enforce the rules as he once did, Not sure of the other mods outlook.

Don't doubt me .

Anyways, if I've told you once, I've told ya a million times bro. That decision is up to McSic. If you want to make some headway message him. Like I said, if he wants me to crack down again, this'll no longer be a problem.

Trying to get a feel of how the community wants, Hense the poll. If its largely disliked then I dont want to push something that most people will hate. But as such a delicate juncture (V7) I believe we should address it as how we set these rules will be very important for our future.

[Jakanadin]

Agreed. It's going to take a lot of work, but if the community feels the need for me to end all of these problems, Jakanadin has done it before and he'll do it again. Freestyler's World is my baby, and I won't let anyone harm it .

P.S., REALLY not a fan of the third one. I couldn't go through every single thread, read every single post, and see spam and NOT infract a user after deleting it. If they could get away with spamming with no consequence but deletion, they'll do it constantly just to piss me off. That's an option I'm not voting for.
