This would have worked far better as a private thing, and if I decided to make it public, then they could always set the record straight then.

It's not true that they had "no alternatives", though. They could have talked to me privately, and they could have been less formal about it, and less threatening. IMO, at least, that would have led to a far better outcome for everyone, except those members of the forum who want me to be banned....

Im sure they have tried before and please tell me how these conversations usually end. If not I say this again talk to all of them, not as this person a or this person b but as a member addressing an issue with a mod or admid, also using other means of communication will work as well just be patient with them.

They did this out of experience, I think they felt no other reasonable alternative was the headaches of trying to set the record straight, thus having elf write this. She is not a mod or admid if I recall so she wrote this withno bias and only stated what they felt was needed to be addressed.

Again, your not banned and you can still post so use this to talk and discuss with them for a compromise and reach an agreement. Also I believe that neither of you wanted this drama. It it had to be adressed.

I remember a bunch of jerks who'd glitch abuse in FPS's to trap players in, and refuse to let them out unless they would use voice chat to vocally support Ron Paul. It was kind of funny.

Well, it removes part of the "no bias" reasoning, but other than that, yeah, it doesn't change much.

Fucks given about this:
ZERO. GOOSE EGGS. NADA.

Mike, I love you to death, but really. Drop the hardline Sakura shit. It's becoming somewhat of a problem. Hell, I'll hold and intervention to separate you from your waifu if you need it.

So people won't get confused, the offenses are the same as in the above posts in this thread, with these changes to punishments:

We will give the members who cause such offenses one private warning, which we will PM to the offender, asking for compliance and we will review said offense.

If the offender continues, they will be given an additional warning in the thread pertaining to the offense, publicly.

If the behavior continues, they will receive an instant one day ban.

Further behavior will institute a three-day ban.

Even further behavior will institute a one week ban.

Lastly, there will be a permanent ban for people who continue.

On each level of punishment after warnings, the mods will keep tabs on the offender and discuss their behavior,and if their behavior after a certain amount of time is sufficiently in accordance with proper forum etiquette, the marks on their record will be taken off.

Just decided to look into the rules and noticed something others might have overlooked. Since the incidents are so spread out, perhaps having a separate thread was necessary?

Actually, that doesn't apply here at all.

If you look at the way the rules are structured, the line in question is followed by "if the behaviour continues, they will recieve a one day ban", which is not what is being threatened here. I am at this point essentially at the "one-week ban" stage, only without them handing out any such ban.

True enough. Just felt like pointing it out anyway for those who objected to what was happening without reading the rules.

Honestly, the rules have little to do with this, this particular circumstance is not documented in them (although, for the benefit of those who are accusing them of "special treatment", they have said that CV got much the same warning before being permabanned, only privately).

I'm not entirely sure what sort of moron thinks that a promise to vote for Ron Paul made to get rid of a griefer in a video game is in any way binding, but I guess that's not really the point of what they're doing....
