Um, Ziroc or some other mod. can you answer a question for me?

Black Dragon · 01-17-2002, 04:44 PM

Why are people getting kicked off so much recently? So many people no longer here that where here before.

LennonCook · 01-17-2002, 04:47 PM

AFAIK, only one person has been kicked off recently, and we know who that was. The other people who dont seem to be here anymore are probably either lurking, or the have RL issues keeping them from coming here.

Black Dragon, you really don't need to ask things like this. Ziroc does his job in the correct way and doesn't put up with any crap on his forum - and rightly so. If people are getting kicked off so often it is their own fault.

Black Dragon · 01-17-2002, 04:58 PM

No, no, no, no, no. I don't mean which people, and I'm not sad they're gone, because if they liked this site enough they would've thought about it before they posted that kinda crap. I just wanted to know what kind of postings I should not do, that way I can keep my account. I like this website. Its what keeps me running in a day. I moved recently and all my old freinds are now out of touch with me so a few of them are on this site and I can post with them. Not to mention I make newer ones on the site, so, I just wanted to know what things I can't post.

Erm, okay then... But you might wanna check your sources, you make a completely uninformed impression with your initial question... Unless you think 1 ban is "so much recently".

The way to keep on posting here? No excessive spamming, no flames, no harassing, no porn links/pictures... other than that, you'd probably be okay. Just show respect to people and their opinions. [img]smile.gif[/img]

just use common sense and be courteous to people while respecting their rights. it got me this far [img]smile.gif[/img]

I believe the main thing that Mods are looking out for at the moment is that which is discussed in Saz's sticky thread at the top of the page. Other than that, its things which can be highly insulting to people.

Didn't you read the rules when you registered? There's a pretty comprehensive list of appropriate and inappropriate behaviour. Failing that, try using your common sense. If you think someone will be offended then don't post. It's not like Ziroc bans people for disagreeing with his opinion on politics or something, like I have heard some admins do. It really is not difficult to not be banned if you're not a complete pinhead

Black Dragon, you are kind of new here, and I can understand your desire to make sure you don't step over the boundaries of what is allowed.

My best advice would be to look around the various forums and see what is or is not allowed. Feel free to drop into the Darkstone forum where I mod and look at the rules I have posted at the top. I am not a mod on this forum, and the GD mods may well handle things slightly differently, but I think they will give you some guidance.

Above all, don't be afraid, we are generally fairly tolerant, and will let you know anytime you go too far.

Above all, have fun [img]graemlins/wavey.gif[/img]

Ok thnx guys I just wanted to make sure I'm posting without screwing up, cause I don't wanna get screwed over on accident and have to leave. I like to post on this site so I try to keep it good.
