Author Topic: New Forum Rule?  (Read 1851 times)

Since V21, noobs have been complaining about the departure of interiors/terrain.

I would like to request a rule that players can not create topics such as "BRING BAKC TERAIN PLS!111!!!1q"
I think the appropriate ban time should be 3 days, as new forumers will be posting this, so a small ban should give them the right idea that this should not be acceptable.

I have noticed a lot of these topics in the past year, but unfortunately I cannot find any for this topic, I think they have just been deleted by a moderator.

I have added a poll regarding the length of the ban.



instead of harshly banning newcomers how about the topics get locked

That is what I first thought, but I think it'll be a better idea to ban the players for a small amount of time so they understand the rules of the forum.

That's harsh. Locking the topics would be better.

i think this is completely just

Okay but im putting it in this perspective.

My first forum account was banned for being an idiot.

I am so glad that I got banned with that account, as it taught me not to be an idiot on the forums.
inb4 you're still an idiot


Instant ban is a bad idea

It's called Freedom of speech, Furdle.
Meaning they can say what they want as long a it's not too gross or in violation of the rules that were already made.

Thats why I am asking for a new rule.

and then, let's make a rule stating "No rant topics" and then, a rule stating "No criticism"

THEY CAN NEVER TAKE OUR FREEDOM

i think it's a legitimate question that newcomers ask. although sometimes a little immaturely put, it's usually "will the terrain ever come back?"

sure, they should research the topic before creating an unnecessary thread about it, i would agree with that. but a ban seems a little drastic.

i also have to wonder why you would want to create this rule when it hardly affects you. or anyone else for that matter. it's simply one new thread; if a forum moderator left a reply in the thread and then locked it, that seems like it should solve the problem.

if the same someone then makes another topic on the same subject, then the moderators can deal punishment however they please.

pin a topic listing the history of terrains and interiors, why they were removed, and why they can't come back.

then make a rule banning players who bring this up again in their own topics and are dumb about it (ie, not contributing to the discussion/topic)
