After the festivities of tonight, I would like to start proposing rules and regulations for banning and suspending people on the forum. I feel it is needed, so that there are guidelines of what to do when things start getting out of hand. I propose the following to be put up to a vote:
1. A 3-strike approach with forum behavior. Any of the following may be subject to a warning: -Trolling -Abuse -Harassment toward other members -Other miscellaneous conduct deemed inappropriate by either the forum community/community manager
After 2 warnings, the offender gets a suspension of 5-7 days. After 3, banned permanently. If offenses are severe enough, an auto-ban might be warranted.
2. Auto-bans are given out for making spam posts, ala the kind we saw back in 2012-2013 with WoW Gold, boner pills, and the like.
3. If you are found to have a multiple account, that multiple account will get banned, and the original account (deemed as the earliest sign up date out of the accounts) will receive a warning. -3a. If you are making a multiple account for legitimate reasons as deemed by the Community/Community Manager (i.e. forgetting a password to an old account), no warning will be given, but activity on the old account will be monitored closely. --3a.1. If the old account comes back into fruition (as deemed by factors including, but not limited to, last user activity) with the new account, without proper explanation, the punishment from Rule 3 will be given immediately.
Please put your vote in. The poll will run for 24 hours from the time this post is made. If this passes, the rules will be put into effect immediately.
