Just behave yourself and you have nothing to worry about kid!

Re: New Infraction System Discussions

Monorail man, the "infractions" link in the FAQ pulldown is currently linking to the reputation faq.

Re: New Infraction System Discussions

Great idea!

Question on the sock puppet line item... I thought sock puppets were grounds for automatically being banned. Now it looks like they will be tolerated once or twice. That's a little confusing.

I agree, I am not sure of this myself.

I know sometimes people have created a sock puppet without realizing that is what they are doing. But if a user creates one intentionally to get around the rules, I think they are banned. So I am confuzzled too!

We'll miss you Tui.

But at least we now have your brother, Stevo.

Looks good, MM, thanks!

Re: New Infraction System Discussions

I like the idea. Though now I want to start a thread called "I hate monorail man" because of the example.

So, are we not allowed to discuss particular infractions

Great idea MM, and definitely needed. Thanks!

Good point. I think discussing an infraction should warrant the issuance of a "double, secret infraction".

It may be nice to have "positive infractions" where if you get enough you are inducted into the secret bavarian Micechat loop. I've been here for over a year and still have no idea how to get in the loop.

Re: New Infraction System Discussions

In the case of "Micechat site bashing", what are the parameters? Is this saying that no criticism is allowed? Is it a matter of "I'll know it when I see it"?

Say someone says, "I'm really tired of how slow the board is running" or "I disgree with what Al said in his last column", something to that effect, is that bashing?

I'm not saying that it is a bad rule. I just think some parameters would be helpful.

Otherwise, I think it is a good idea, especially for repeat offenses.

Does that mean it will never be fully accepted in America?

Those examples are absolutely not against any rules. I think bashing is far removed from a disagreement or question. We are not above criticism, it's a matter of how that criticism is expressed.

I think it is more a "know it when you see it" sort of thing. People have come here to straight out bash us in the past and it's pretty darn obvious when it happens. Thankfully, it isn't something that occurs all that often, but enough to warrant a rule against it.

oh no.. wait i am afraid to even say the joke now...

(involves tourists from brazil... since they all love soccer..)

I think that's safe to say.

I hope there's no derailing infraction card.....
