NetBuilder's Infraction System

**m42** · 19 July, 2009, 19:25 PM

The infraction system (with related tabs/menus) has been disabled.

We don't use it here.

If you happen to receive an infraction on NB, it's either a ghost or a glitch.

Now that I've just issued my first infraction on a blatant spammer to see how it worked.

So what is going to happen now? A direct ban or not? (I know what happens, but I ask this question so others know

)

Yes. As Aquarezz knows, we very rarely ban. Since NetBuilder's inception eight months ago, our ban list has been comprised of spam bots, spammers, and one not very nice human.

The not very nice human ended up just coming back under a new account. We knew he'd returned and didn't bother banning his new account because he chose to play nice with others the second time around.

If someone does something questionable or mean, they'll get a kind and loving PM from a moderator asking them to play nice.

If someone is especially destructive or malicious, they'll just be banned.

Care to add to that Aqua?

Well I can add some little thing:
Be kind so the mods have less work with us

A little question about the ban though, will there be temporary bans or permanent bans only?

So far they've been permanent.

But what if I insult someone in chinese? do you read chinese? Let's say you are a ping yu full of li yan and a wu pang yiu but typed in chinese...Do I get banned for the rest of my life?

I'm sorry... is that your attempt at being difficult?

I suppose if you started posting the names of random Chinese people, someone might take offense.

Who knows what sets people off....

I think you need to change think you need to put in place some kind of spanking punishment in the future or you risk go same way as DP

That might be considered when absolutely necessary, until then I like the current solution, spambots and morrons get an immediate kick out, otherwise we're good with other peoples opinion.

Become like DP?

I'd rather shot my own foot than promoting/enforcing something as stupid as this:
