Please control Talonis!

Before I get banned, can LFG or Niber please look at this thread and undo the damage that Talonis has done? Two people banned so far, and I'm sure I'm next.

My post was deleted unjustly which angers me severely.

PS: Class mods need the get the ability to ban people back.

Talonis is having a field day. Two people unjustly banned for a rule that wasn't even being broken.

LFG · 02-15-2008, 07:26 PM

Nobody is "banned", these are 3 day suspensions for people who refuse to follow the rules.

These Site Guidelines apply:

New supplemental posting Guidelines for Admins and users

In applicable part, these Guidelines state that when a user starts a thread about a specific topic, but then that thread is purposefully derailed by others, the person who started the thread has the right to demand that it go back on topic, and also has the right to ask a mod or admin to require the post to go back on topic. Once that assistance is requested by the OP, a mod or admin will respect that request and will delete any further off topic posts made in the thread.

Now, their are only 3 "flame free" sections on this site: Tradeskills, Guild Recruiting, and Fan Site News and Announcements.

So a recruiting thread in the Unrest section can be flamed in an on-topic manner just the same as any other thread started in that section. But, once the OP calls for his or her post to go back on topic, ONLY on-topic replies are thereafter permitted in that thread, but it doesn't matter whether those subsequent on-topic replies are constructive or outright flames, as long as they are on topic.

It seems to me that Talonis requested that thread to go back on topic, but that the people who received 3 day suspensions refused to comply and continued making off-topic posts. I will not overturn the suspensions for that reason. Please let me know if I'm missing something or misunderstand the situation.

FYI - these guidelines were enacted on this site after great debate for the purpose of preventing "NGD" style spamming - so that if ANYONE wanted to have an on-topic discussion on this site, they would be able to do so without getting their thread spammed into oblivion by off-topic replies. These guidelines respect the rights of all users to hold conversations on this site and prevent the site from being turned into a bottomless cesspool where a small handful of users can ruin the experience here for everyone else.

Not to defend their actions, but based upon what I've seen (i don't know if any of the OP's posts were deleted) But the OP never asked for it be re-railed.

Cochy, jumping into the middle of something you aren't a part of to draw attention to yourself......worked. Grats.

The thread was off topic. The OP asked for it to go back on topic and according to the supplemental rules, it does just that and any post afterwards that is OT- gets deleted. This shit isn't new, dumbshits. Fuck your stupid loophole searches. Flame the dumb fucking guild to hell and back~ in another thread as stated in the rules. I said as much in my first post. Really, it isn't hard. There is no nazi'ing here. Nice try. Go back and play nice please.

Cochy · 02-15-2008, 07:32 PM

I never saw the OP ask for it to be brought back on topic just you~

Please provide proof the OP asked for it to go on topic.
