[QUOTE=TH89;23529492]You don't have to do anything. I guess I misjudged you in thinking you were reasonable enough to suppose I acted in good faith, if only for the sake of the discussion. I guess we're done here. It's definitely a problem we face--if we're too lenient, FP will become even more like 4chan, and Garry's company will have a bad reputation in the industry. If we're too harsh, we'll have a worse reputation in the Garry's Mod userbase. That said, are you familiar with the Something Awful boards? They're one of the most successful sites on the internet. Mods there pretty much freely ban anyone they think is a tool. And guess what? Given the size of its userbase, it's an astonishingly adult, intelligent, and vibrant community. Which isn't to say I think we can BE Something Awful, but it shows that allowing mods to ban people they don't like doesn't necessarily mean you'll have a bad or unpopular forum. You might become more unpopular with the sort of people the mods don't like, but that just makes the mods' job easier.[/QUOTE] You know, TH89, I was originally frustrated at you for banning them, but now I can understand you fully and I respect you even moreso than before. Not ass kissing, I'm serious.
[QUOTE=TH89;23529747]I agree that our rules aren't clearly displayed, and we've recently been talking about fixing that. But SA's rules are quite broad and open to mod interpretation (e.g. "don't flame, unless it's really funny"). Not to mention one of FP's original rules was "just because it's not on the rules list doesn't mean you can't get banned for it."[/QUOTE] Here's SA's rules. They strike me as being pretty damn clear: [quote="[url=http://www.somethingawful.com/d/forum-rules/forum-rules.php]SA Rules[/url]"]Low Content Posts: Please do not make posts containing no content (ie, "first post," "hello, I'm new here," etc.). These just litter up the forums and with over 100,000 registered users, we need to eliminate these as much as possible. If you do not like a thread, then just vote it a "1" and move on; replies consisting solely of trolling fall into this category. As a general rule, write as if you were speaking in real life to another human being. Do not use any catchphrases, memes, internet slang, or any other crap that makes you look like a 12-year old. Worthless Posts: We do not care if you are drunk or high; please do not inform us of either. Please do not register gimmick accounts and make posts as a gimmick, as they are not funny. Please do not post crap asking us to vote for you on some website, give you referrals for free iPods / flatscreens / spare tires, or any other semi-spam things. Forum Fuckery: Don't fuck up the forums or any user on the forums. If you post a malicious link (any URL with spyware or code designed to annoy people) you will be banned. Do not vote spam a thread with your friends because you don't like the person who posted it; this makes the voting feature useless. Do not make plans to annoy / destroy other forums. Stay On Target: Try to use the appropriate thread tag for your post. This helps people find your thread and makes the forums more user friendly. Do not use the mod-only tags or you will be autobanned by the server. Contained Conflict: Keep all flamewars and other arguments in their appropriate forums (FYAD, YCS, etc). Respect the Mods and Writers: The moderators are here to keep the forums safe, sane, and secure. If they ask you to do something, please do it. Please do not harass or intentionally annoy the mods or insult the front page writers. If you do not like the mods or the moderation, feel free to not post here. Harass and Sass: If somebody is harassing you on the forums then discuss it with them over PM or email before contacting a mod about it. Flames and insults do not constitute harassment. Please do not post others' personal information (phone number, addresses, emails, etc.). Try to stay out of other peoples' personal lives as well. Keep in mind there's a good distinction between the Internet and real life. Account Ability: Only one person may use a forum account. Account sharing is a bannable offense, so please keep your password secure. Crazy Catchall: Please do not try to cleverly circumvent some rule listed here. These rules are general guidelines and are very flexible. FYAD Freedoms: You cannot post illegal material, harass others by posting their personal information or nude photos, spam thread subject lines to break the forum tables, harass any admins or mods, or start forum invasions in FYAD. I Hate Speech: Offensive terms such as "faggot" or "nigger" may or may not be bannable based on context of the sentence. If they were meant as humor with absolutely no offensive slurs meant, the user may not be banned or probated. This rule is completely, 100% subjective and is based on the mod reading the post at the time. Use at your own peril.[/quote] They're extremely clear compared to FP's, and even beyond that, SA has a generally older community than FP, which means that the average user can reasonably be expected to make good judgments on whether or not he's breaking the rules.
[QUOTE=Panda X;23529863]There are still like 2 or 3 other threads he or another mod has to comb through. Good work nonetheless.[/QUOTE] I don't think any of us are looking forward to going through the 20 page videos section thread but this board must be brought to compliance nonetheless
Guys, tomorrow she's going to be on GMA, maybe GMA will force the parents to watch the video before saying anything.
[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;23529810]Maybe you should think about putting the forums rules as a sticky in each section, so people know what they are and can avoid incurring the wrath of banhappy mods. That's the way it should've been from the start, in my honest opinion. Not badmouthing the forum or forumgoers, i'm just saying it avoids shit like this.[/QUOTE] the people who condoned this aren't worth keeping around anyways
[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;23529600]What did that have to do with the rules of the forum. And besides, afaik no one here did any raiding.[/QUOTE] I still believe the girl still didn't deserve it.
[QUOTE=WickedIcon;23529896]Here's SA's rules. They strike me as being pretty damn clear[/QUOTE] They are clear. They're also very broad, which means mods have a great deal of leeway when deciding who to ban. They can also ban people for things that aren't on the rules list at all: [url]http://www.pridelands.org/~simba/video/jjfagj.swf[/url]
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;23529905]I don't think any of us are looking forward to going through the 20 page videos section thread but this board must be brought to compliance nonetheless[/QUOTE] Surely there can be other non-mods to help out. I would.
Enough with derailing this thread, if you want to discuss the bans feel free to do so in another thread
And then no-one posted for a whole 2 minutes.

[highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("Advocating raiding" - TH89))[/highlight] Advocating Raiding? What the fuck does that mean? Are we banning people we think had anything to do with a raid now?
What the hell? This thread had 4 pages yesterday...
I merged the three Jessi Slaughter threads on this page

Are we banning people we think had anything to do with a raid now?[/QUOTE] no we are banning people who say shit like "she totally deserved it" I thought that was pretty apparent
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;23530572]no we are banning people who say shit like "she totally deserved it" I thought that was pretty apparent[/QUOTE] Oh. Wait she actually suicided?
no deserved all the harassment [editline]12:05AM[/editline] "Advocating raiding" how hard is this point to get across
You banned Zeke for a three day old post? What the fuck? This is kind of out of hand, mods. Just saying. On topic, didn't she violate a court order by posting on Twitter?
He's had a permaban a long time coming, tbh
23 perma's, one thread, not even a ban me. :psyduck: But seriously, did she kill herself, or does no one know yet?
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;23530695]He's had a permaban a long time coming, tbh[/QUOTE] He seemed courteous enough.
I don't know if this was mentioned. [b]Jessi Slaughter is the guest in ABC's Good Morning America, STARTING TODAY AT 6 AM NEW YORK AND 7 AM CENTRAL TIME.[/b]
