Popular Post Absolute Dog Posted July 7, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I would like the community to be aware I have asked the moderators to more actively enforce the conduct rules in the shout box. This will affect only a small number of members that habitually pushed the limits or test the moderators patience. The basic rules already exist for the shout box in the "Rules" section and Spectral Jester's post here should seen by anyone reading the forum. I have seen and heard of incidents of members new and old, including community staff, causing problems in the most visible part of our forum and it has to be understood how much this hurts the site and encourages the behavior in others. We are all grateful to the members who talk to those who are acting up and want those of you to know we like when the community helps to keep things positive when our attention is elsewhere. We only ask that if a moderator is present in the shout box to please allow them to handle whatever the issue is. We are capable and may have a different approach than you feel is needed, but it is our responsibility in the end. Allows us to do what we need to do without encouragement please. In the end, if you are one who continues to interfere, especially after being warned, you may find yourself banned for a short period. I will stand behind all shout box bans regardless of who the member is, so know this in advance. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post One Posted July 7, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Pfft. abiding by rules in chat? Who does that? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCPO Mayh3m Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Very well said. I would like to add: It is up to the members to report the member and describe what they did. I think that would also help some more as well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skummgummigubbe Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 i have total respect for the mods and other members 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatanicBagels Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I agree fully with this statement. Just the fact that a mod tells you to stop something should be enough reason to stop. People that continue and argue with the mods decision deserve any punishment thrown their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biggles Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I agree with this, people need to get off their high horse when they join and think their big people around the computer. Trust me, they'll get caught out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Winter Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 According to my lurking, for the past week there has been a lot of arguments in the shout box. I'm glad that there will be more supervision on it, hopefully things will calm down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I can't thank the moderation team enough for their actions. They do their jobs flawlessly: they're the reason why we're enjoying all of this. We've got a beautiful community here; these moderators keep it beautiful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I say no matter who has caused problems, been apart of problems, or wanted to be in problems, it's all in the past. We know there has been respect issues, and it stops today. We continue on without disrupting each other, but still have a good time. I hope everyone abides by the rules. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VivaLebowski Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'm not one for authoritarianism when it comes to most things, but I hope this means the mods will be banning fools left and right. We need it. Yall go way too soft on people. It encourages the trolls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thank you for posting this AD, we mods have gone soft over the last couple months. We need to show our strength once more, more trolls are going to be coming as November approaches, it'll get even harder after November. I don't mean we start being insanely strict, but we need to crack down a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Shadowz Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 This needed to be addressed, maybe this will settle people down a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Does this mainly apply to the trolls and the spammers as well? It applies to everyone in this fine community we need to respect our "Superiors" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SternuS Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 This wasn't even necessary to be said. Every new member MUST know the rules. And if he needs to be punished, he can be old or new, trusted or dedicated, but he MUST be punished (banned or whatever, you know the protocol better than anyone). And i'm sure no one here will deny this. At least, not me . Ah, one question: at who should i report? Community mod., Absolute Dog or directly at Twam? (Obviously i can see who's online, but if there is no mod active...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZΞRΘ Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Very well said, let it be known that I shall partake in the upholding of these rules, for better and for worse....in sickness and in low health till re-spawning and depart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOOD 0F GANON Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I think as they sign in when making a new account the rules should have a check box to ensure they have read the rules. May take longer to sign in but it helps with the moderators to know they read the rules. just an idea.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Obviously i can see who's online, but if there is no mod active...) When reporting a member, post or topic. You give in the details for why you are reporting them. For example. I am reporting this member, because they are a spambot and have spammed links in the status updates. Please deal with. Thats the basic to reporting, all mods get a notification when a report it sent, and deal with it via moderator abilities I think as they sign in when making a new account the rules should have a check box to ensure they have read the rules.

I think it's better posting than starting a new topic. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lᴜᴋᴇ Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 You don't post anywhere with what you did. Upon clicking the report button you'll be presented with an input box where you can write what you think the reportable offence was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 From what I have seen most people who show disrespect are posters who have just joined. I think the chatbox if fairly clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chatbox is far from clean mate. Has arguments somewhat frequently, cussing or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
