Yay I made it!

I must confess that sometimes my description of the XB1 is a little on the negative side... I can't help it!

However, I would like to know if the site's reply notification system will get a revamp, to get us directly to replies to our posts when one is posted... that would encourage actual conversations as opposed to thread bombing!

Tuscaniman99 got banned for 30 days. damnnn lol

Once a user comes back from a 30 day ban, then the mod team strongly considers a permaban for said user if they break the rules again. If you're not going to shape up after 30 days... then there's really no point in continuing this game of cat and mouse.


Back in the day, users were banned up to 90 days before considering being permabanned. Pretty funny. ^_~


Dr Grass is still out til the end of Feb on a ban since December.He layed into someone pretty badly to warrant it. But John117 gave the long time out.

edit - not in anyway saying the moderation was unjust btw! just saying that the "back in the day" comment was odd since there was a 90 day ban active http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5886555 I dont think anyone would call that unjust

There are some instances where we go above the 30 day mark. Usually when a user gets to the 20 or 30 day ban length the mods all decide on whether to permaban said user or not. And when we plan to permaban someone, we like to give them a warning ban that tells them if they don't knock it off, they will get permabanned on their next ban. Mind you, the warning ban is always associated with an actual moderation that they would receive (much like you see in Dr. Grass's ban message).

In Dr. Grass's case, we didn't discuss permabanning him until his last ban, which is why it's a lot more than 30 days.

 

@kirby: I ain't no whimp! >:(

I still think that my last ban was too harsh :(

Add another one that hasn't been banned or even warned to the list.

And I hope it keeps that way for a long time.

There are some instances where we go above the 30 day mark. Usually when a user gets to the 20 or 30 day ban length the mods all decide on whether to permaban said user or not. And when we plan to permaban someone, we like to give them a final warning ban telling them if they don't knock it off, they will get permabanned on their next ban.

In Dr. Grass's case, we didn't discuss permabanning him until his last ban, which is why it's a lot more than 30 days.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I haven't been banned, but I have been warned twice.  

edit: and I would say I'm considered an active member.

You are clearly more active than me.

And there's nothing wrong with been warned if you learn from that .
