THIS IS JUST SO OFF-TOPIC.

I think the fact he gave full infractions is a little harsh. When people post off topic when I moderate - I edit the post and usually PM the user manually, if they continue, I simply issue a warning and after that infractions.

However, I have to disagree with the fact you say they aren't off topic, as they clearly are...

That quote isn't against any rules

If you can get this Alan person to tell us that he gives you permission to post that chatlog it is not against the rules. However if he does not, it is against the rules as, as far as we know, he has not given his consent.

So does this mean I can't post a conversation I had on MSN with George Bush?

If all mods would do that, people will get away with this way too much, hence why some infractions have a warning option for the first time they break that rule.

I agree with the OP. I got an "off-topic" infraction because I said a word which was filtered, and it was the only word in my post.

It was LMAO with an F in the middle. Damn trialists.

Saying that isn't allowed, but you shouldn't have had an infraction for posting off-topic but for avoiding the filter/ inappropriate language.

That quote isn't against any rules, I suggest you learn the rules if you're planning on passing the trial; actually, don't worry! I'm sure you'll get past with your great reputation of a trustworthy person!

Anyhow, again you've just came back and said "they were breaking a rule", I'm not disputing that they didn't break a rule; I'm saying moderators shouldn't attack users with infractions who dare to slightly post "off-topic". Seriously, at the rate you're going everyone will have lost their first Habbox account and will be using one without any posts/rep ETC. which they don't care about. How do you seriously expect to punish people if all you can do is ban their accounts they don't care about? You are digging Habbox's grave, as well as ruining Habbox users' experience on the forum at the same time.

Mods can't ban people if that's waht you were saying.

I also suggest that if you wish to complain about what I have done before, or just to have a dig at me, please take it elsewhere to management.

It's not against the rules if both parties agree with it being posted.

I think most people are over-reacting, it's not that hard to stay on-topic. Most people avoid getting an infraction by posting things like:
Off topic: Bla bla bla
On topic: Bla bla bla
Or something like
Bla bla off-topic bla bla
But to stay on-topic, bla bla

I do give me consent. Btw I think I know what breaks the rules etc.. I have been there done that.

Actually I think it's better that way. I only do it for minor offences though .

I have stated this.

I do not believe that I have questioned that?

I suggest that, if you wish to take this further, you PM senior management to deal with the issue that you have raised.

I have stated this.

Lol yea, I was still busy with my post when you posted that.



But I don't think problems between mods and other members will ever be solved, so there will be many more of these threads without any solutions.

I would say blatant off-topic posting does qualify for an infraction, however someone just replying to something mentioned within the thread but is irrelevant to the thread's subject doesn't. I'm sure everyone of you have done it at least 20 times, luckily for you moderators' weren't always this strict and you're not permanently banned. Fine, ask them nicely not to, but giving an infraction for it is just harsh.

Mods can't ban people if that's waht you were saying.

I'm fully aware who can ban people who and who cannot, seeing as I once could ban people myself. I was suggesting that after a while the infractions will accumulate, and therefore the user will be banned. I didn't think that needed any explanation, but it obviously did.

[edible]

I kinda agree abit :S.. I once got warned for saying something which was quite on topic imo, but yet I was told.. Dont post off-topic.
