New policy

  [font="Tahoma"]I definitely approve.
  Years before, I frequented a forum where the community was significantly smaller, but people ranted, criticized, and lashed out at one another in a consistent, immature manner. Ironically, the age base ranged from seventeen to twenty-eight or so. When I joined this forum (and only a few days ago), there was the immediate presence of a warm community, although there was a bit of lashing and discontent prominently found in the Offtopic section.
  Most of it was criticism, although I don't think criticism is a bad thing. We all have freedom of speech, and while I agree that the criticizing of other people in this forum community is wrong and should be treated as such, the criticizing of controversial events should bring about discussion rather than an argumentative rant against a person one does not see eye-to-eye with. I wanted to point that out for some consideration or clarification.[/font]

  Freedom of speech!
  Everyone has the right to be able to speak their mind, no matter how illogical it may seem to someone else, and though people can challenge their thinking, keep the comments polite!
  In real life and in game life, I see people calling each other names and such just for thinking or being one way or another. Just accept the differences with polite honesty, even if maybe outrageous, and be another nice person on the street helping make the world a better place!

  Okay, so now, why do they get little pirate skull icons?
  
  Seriously.

  You're going to have to ask Chise that, since he's the one that's giving them out (as well as the one who gave Hanna, Ithi, and I'm assuming Alexane their special colors to begin with). But anyways, enough about the special name things, please make a new thread if you have any discretion with them.
• Claudia wrote on 2011-07-26 03:29
  Yeah, but people already did, and the thread was eventually locked.

  I reopened it, just don't do any bashing of members that got the special icons or whatever, which was the main reason why it was closed in the first place. Or better yet, make a new thread. And even betterer, ask Chise why he's giving out special icons.

  I don't see why everyone's so butthurt about them, but if they have to be taken then do what you must if it will keep people from *****in'.

  Again, if you want to talk about the special name things, please make a new thread, or go back to the one I just reopened.

  Just in case no one can see this post, and the other ones saying the same thing, Ill re-post it...cause everyone seems to be ignoring it.

  Nobody was really ignoring it, just one person...but I posted in that thread anyways.

  I'm not sure if we're allowed to say this but... I think the users should be banned after getting 3 infractions...
  
  I've seen certain users in Mabination who received 5 or more infractions and they haven't gotten banned yet or such.

  
  
  Total or non expired?

  A system where a certain amount of infractions = auto-ban is always good, though it would be nice if we could set it so you either need xx infractions or a certain amount of specific infractions.
  
  For example
  
  7 total infractions = ban (temporary or otherwise)
  3 total infractions for flaming = ban (also temporary or otherwise)
  
  And so on. Since after a certain number of infractions, it's pretty obvious that the offender isn't trying very hard to shape up (if they are at all). And if they have more than 3 infractions for the same offense.. yeah, also pretty obvious that they're ignoring that rule.
