What happened to "YOU'RE GOING TO GET BANNED"?

[The Fork]

I haven't been here for a good year - what happened to the dictatorship where you would get banned for pretty much anything you did?

[ExplodingGuy]

That utopia is long gone my friend...

[CounterTunes]

I got a feeling..

*Whoo--hoo

That this thread is a good thread

[The Fork]

No it isn't - I was just wondering, what happened to it all?

No, if you've been here for two years and have over 2k posts you get to become a goldie-fag.

2 years of membership and 2000 posts is the requirement for gold member.

Aww, is someone jealous?

[LineArc]

The forums changed alot, smartness and instaban was removed and the moderators where put on a tighter leesh. The trolls rolled in because of the lower moderation and everyone either writes some bad threads or posts shit replies. I see ALOT of shit replies now rather than back in 07 or so.
Slight, slight irony here.

[The Fork]

Well I qualify for one of those then. I see a lot less BAN as well. Do you mean to say that the rules and been slackened?

[QUOTE=Maximo13;23914634]Wow, what?[/QUOTE]

Some kid a long time ago got troll'd into giving garry $999 for a gold membership.

[AlphaGunman]

Pretty much depends on which mod sees your post..

No, people just use common sense now.

[The Fork]

I see. So the slang word for a person of African-American ethnicity is no longer a ban?

It still is, for racism

[PVT drone536]

I have been here for 1 year..and had a 2 alts that spawned 2,000.

So guess i am around the 4,000 now.

It's no longer autoban.

Racism is still bannable, IIRC.

[editline]02:56PM[/editline]

We need smartness back.

[The Fork]

Well, quite a bit has changed then.

[AlphaGunman]

[QUOTE=The Fork;23914719]Well, quite a bit has changed then.[/QUOTE]

Autobans are removed but mods will still ban for some of the former autoban words.

Ha ha ha.
No, not at all.

Garry wants to be dumb and control the user-base, somewhat.
He thinks FP is his "business forum", whereas it is actually a community. How can you control what users do?
Anyway, Ironically, to make his business look better, mods now:
Do not permaban for asking for child porn (heavy artillery)
racism, providing it is not just downright trolling (no examples yet, but I got this from hezzy himself)
And overall less harsher bans, which now makes the retarded population of FP explode.

Plus, the new golds think their cool, when their actually not. The original 05\06 golds are STILL whose boss.

[BrQ]

Hezzy changed his name to Mr. Gestapo which sucks because Hezzy was better

[Paravin]

The forums have become worse.
