Information About the Infraction Point System

[Hakura May]

YES! Thanks Joe! X3

Just have a question: I know that in an earlier announcement you said that foul language would be kept to a minimum. I just want to make sure it's still kept in here, like, if I say 'wtf' or whatever every now and then, it wouldn't matter right? As long as you don't use it every single post or sentence or w/e, right?

Also, what are the warning points for sigs who break the rules, or is there none and there's a simple usernote? Just curious...

so to figure out how many infraction points we have, we just check how many PM's we have gotten that have infractions listed in them?

 

[Korobooshi Kojiro]

The system works! It really works!

Sounds great imo...unforunately, I'm sure we will have complainers eventually -.- ne~

 

[davidone10]

Well, Ireally can't complain, good job.

 

[Veek]

Like the idea! But I have a question. For instance, if someone cussed alot in a post, does it count for every word or the post itself?

No, you check your own Profile...

Props for the multi quote addition. Really handy on the debate forum.

Like already said, the sig system is still the same like it used to be (usernotes + sig strikes).

 

[Sharpedo Boy]

Cool.Well done joey!ill check how many points I got.

 

[Naetoru & Stitch]

This is perfect. Now you don't have to say, "Hmm...should we ban you are not" and it's completely fair. Spammer's BEWARE.

OK say Someone Was Flamed and Pmed the flamer Back in a Pm could the person who sent the Pm get warnings/infractions Because Thats Always confused me XD

 

[Nintendo_6444]

Very good! I'll have to be more carful with my mouth. XD

 

[Serebii]

Just so you know, Mods also have the ability to do this and through proxy...they are now capable of banning indirectly through this method

What about the issue with the forums. Like how you accidently press submit more than once, because the forums go slow as hell sometimes, and so you get 50+ posts or 50+ topics?

I see no need to warn them for that, unless you just want us to send them a PM saying "Yes, the forums have a problem, they go slow sometimes and if they do not respond right away, please wait for it to respond or go to a 404 page, otherwise you may end up getting multiple posts or topics."

 

[Serebii]

We've never banned for that

Double Posting when its the same thing twice is generally accepted as a bug

Its when someone posts

"Hey, how do you get Pikachu"
"Come on, help me"

Well, Etebossu, Latios did state that the forums were having slow issues , in a announcement. The rules say check frequently for announcements. The announcement he said was "please press the submit button once because , if you press it alot, the computer would pick up all those submits and post 5 of the same thing." I say it's there loss if they don't check for announcements. They were forewarned about the issue and shouldn't be given leeway.

 

[Hyuu]

That sounds like a fair new system ^^ A lot more chances involved for those who are new and don't really know much better, right? And bans are fairer so there will be less complaining about those banned.

 

[Bayleef]

Simple and easy to understand, nice job.

And the new multi-quote feature is pretty cool.

And how many people here actually read the rules, let alone pay attention to the announcements? And I know what the announcement said, I did read it afterall.

@Serebii, I know we never have banned for that, but if I do recall correctly, I have seen people give usernotes to those who have done that.
