This thread has been hijacked by a debate about a ban, so I'm moving it out of the Rules and Announcements thread.

For various rule violations and bad behaviour MyGaming forum moderators and admin will dish out infractions.

Enough accumulated infractions will lead to a ban.

On your profile page under the Infractions tab on the end.

Assuming normal users can see it?
 
Been a bit busy of late, have people been misbehaving?

ps, I can't see any infractions tab
 
I don't see one either. If you want to test it you can give me an infraction and see if that makes it show up :p

I can insult someone here if it'll make you feel better about doing it :D
 
So I am no longer allowed to say:

"This is fucking stupid you dumb asshole James. BTW, please buy my stuff."

JK :D

But seriously, you can get banned for having one outburst? This is rather heavy!!!! Gonna see lots of bannings happening, or this forum is gonna turn into a hippie-fest.....

Insulting a forum member - 5 point... So I can say "F... you X and Y !!" Would that not get me 2 x 5 points :D

Keep in mind that this will also probably only happen if someone reports you, so I think it will have to be fairly serious before you'll actually get an infraction. I could be wrong of course.
 
I can agree with the Sig Rule one and the Spam one (too long in coming) but Insult and Language .......... ye, making Mygaming a bit lame with those IMO. We are fast losing what set us apart for so many years. I have seen the future and it looks and acts like any other website instead of a self enclosed gaming eden.



P.S - incoming: what words are not allowed anymore ...... 1984 edition

It's 5 points for insulting other members. The degree of insultiness will be decided by Dan or myself.

10 points gets you a temp-ban.

You're really gonna have to try hard to get a perma-ban, in which case you probably deserved it.



There is a way to debate and disagree without resorting to puerile insults. We want to foster a happy environment, but that doesn't mean we expect everyone agree on everything - just to act like adults. A good measure is if you would insult someone in a real-life public environment in such a way, you can probably expect more trouble than a simple infraction.

The Mygaming forum isn't the place to fling about pent-up aggression toward other members.

The infraction system will also help us keep a record of what trouble has been caused.

Shadowfox I'll give you a 1 point infraction now; let us know if the infraction tab shows up on your user control panel.

I'll admit the forum has played something of a loose hand with regards to the use of language thus far (I plead guilty to a couple of cases myself), and for the most part it's been fairly harmless - it becomes an issue when people start flaming each other though. I suppose, for the sake of consistency, a blanket rule is best.

We can always just try and be inventive in the way I've seen the GW2, Aion and other forums be - GW2 users use 'kitten' in place of the more regular expletives.

Not perfect, I know, but even if most of us are adults, not everyone jumping into the forum are, and I guess we need to be aware of that as a community.

No insulting other members and avoiding foul language have been rules from day 1.

We typically let the harmless stuff slide.

Tirades of insults, flame-wars, and foul-language lead to a negative environment and escalate to the situation we have seen today.
 
I think what's got me riled up about it is a member who has contributed and been a member for a while now has been shown the door while the aggravating turd is singing happy days. That's the kind of treatment that makes the more valuable members piss off until you're left with 'newbs'.

1 - There should really be a flame thread for everyone to get it out of their system with no consequence - enter at your own will kinda thing.

2 - Resorting to banning 1 person for using knob and blasphemy (really, blasphemy, pathetic) on someone clearly trolling should never be in place at MyGaming.


P.S - Graal and I have had some handbag shit but we got past it and I can even tolerate him ........ in small doses, heh.

It also shows up in your User Control Panel, just above where your rep points are reported

And then the infractions tab appeared in my user profile at the same time

There's also a red-flag at the bottom of the post I received the infraction on :)
