[FiestaFan] Rep Comments + Banning Issues
 

Reputation Comments

A few things in regards to this. As of lately, we've seen many threads about negative reputation. Nothing good has ever come out of these threads, so we have decided to add some "rules" on this subject. It is long, but I suggest you to read all of it.

1. Threads made about negative reppers (whether it'd be a thread raging at the neg reppers or a thread laughing at them for being sad) will be automatically closed.
2. No flaming in reputation comments are allowed. Reputation comments are there for you to provide constructive criticism. This does not include calling people names such as "stupid" or "idiot" or "dumb" and the like.
3. Rep comments are now moderated if reported. If you are caught flaming in rep, you will receive a warning for first offense. Any more offenses after first warning, you will be given an infraction. However, reps will not be removed.
4. Report rep comments via Talk With The Mods section so all moderators can see it.
5. We will NOT tell you who had flamed you in the derep. We will only tell you whether we have warned the derepper or not.
6. Spam negative repping is also not tolerated. Doing so will also result in a warning/infraction.
7. We will NOT moderate reps if the person getting flamed makes a thread about it in the first place. You are to report it if you want something done.

Note: This will only apply to rep comments made after this announcement has been posted.

Banning

As everyone should know, three infractions result in a temporary 7 day ban. However, we would like to remind everything that creating an alternate account to continue posting here is not the way to go.

If you are caught making an alternate account while you are in a temp ban, the temp ban on your main account will be extended for another 7 days. You will get two chances. If you still continue to create alternate accounts, you will receive a permanent ban after the third alternate account created.

However, FiestaFan will give second chances. Your account will remain permanently banned, but you will be allowed to come back again after two months.

Any feedbacks and suggestions are welcome.

My thought is this is a great idea to make the rep Abuse less and less in this forums.

Thanks.


And sorry I forgot to add that this will only come to effect for rep comments made after the announcement was posted. Thanks Dark for reminding me.

Either way it should keep flamers at bay.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Not that I will do this, but how do you guys know that someone is creating another alt account? DO you guys know whose IP address is?

Also, if someone gets banned then comes back after two months and gets banned again, will they be able to come back?

Well, as stated in the OP you'll get a second chance. So if they get their second account banned I don't think that person deserves to come back?

Yep.

Of course there's no real way of stopping people from coming back permanently. It is the internet, of course. Though hopefully we won't have any members that will reach this stage. D:
