Moderators & Rules

[Hecktix]

I actually bothered to read through this thread, although I could see where it was going from the start. It was evident the silly children complaining 'cause they can't abide by the rules were going to get owned by the damn good forum management team we have here.

What I find incredibly interesting in the posts before Matt & Nvr intervened, is that naturally there are two sides of the arguement. However... both sides are coming from people who clearly do break rules.

The thread creater clearly has a problem with getting too many warnings/infractions, however the counter arguements are presented by people such as Immenseman & buttons - who have been known to break rules and accept their punishment. So I think this thread is about maturity.. people who can accept the discipline and people who clearly cannot.

At the end of the day the forum rules & disciplinary procedures have changed radically since certain changes in the management structure.

For a start, you would used to get infractions/warnings instantly, now you get a friendly PM & usernote warning, so clearly if you're getting infractions you are ignoring the mods in the first place.

I've been known in the past for causing trouble on this forum & I returned in February. I've had several PM reminders about the rules, which I have listened to therefore not recieved any infractions. It's not hard is it?

Stop complaining, to use your own line my friend, if you don't like the rules, then simply leave the forum to avoid upsetting yourself even more at your distaste in the rules.

me, breaking rules?! ol:

dom, it's ironic that you base your whole argument around maturity and then you show how immature you are in this thread. "I AV BEEN GD AND DNT GET NEFIN NOW IM GNA BE BAD TO TEST DA MODZ, LUL"

along those lines anyway.

Decided I might aswell keep getting warnings - clearly they cmean nothing..

I went four months without getting one, but you don't actually get anything for keeping a clean slate.

Time to test mod's me thinks.

What you get is the clean slate. Membership of a community is not generally a reward scheme, more likely it'll move backwards - you start with all of your freedoms and get them taken away if you abuse them. That in itself should be motive to behave yourself and not kick off every time something doesn't go your way.

Fabulous people do win Member of the Month

Well I dunno about that..

I've not had a single warning or infraction and I don't expect any rewards for it.

And quite rightly so.

We shouldn't be looking out to gain anything and the staff shouldn't have to dish anything out just for doing as we should. This thread seems to be nothing more than a personal crusade masked as a community suggestion

I would just like to point out I am not actually normally one to get infractions and warning - just I have got a few lately. I have talked to people about it, and its not so much that i get them, its I hate having them there for two months LOL

So do I, so does everyone. It's all part and parcel of the punishment. There's no point in having an infraction if you/admins don't know that you have it.
