OhHerro Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I'm not entirely sure if this has been suggested before or not, but if it has, it probably did not have enough evidence or logical backing to be implemented. Here's my suggestion. Ban members who post attachments in the CC section for 3 days. Automatically. Here's my reasoning: 1. It CLEARLY states in the rules of the section that attachments are not allowed. In our society, the rules (law) clearly state that killing someone is not allowed. If you kill someone, you are automatically punished by being sent to jail, a punishment that on a forum can be equated with a ban. We don't need to give a permanent ban, but a temporary ban of three days should be enough time for them to read all the stickies. 2. This thread. It's pretty obvious to me that for the most part, members who don't read the stickies and thus post their cards in attachments are as idiotic as this member, and are thus unneeded in our forums. As such, we can do without them for three days. Supporters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JoshIcy Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Firstly, apologies for not moderating as I would normally... Personal reasons. I want to be relaxed.(Can't find my post on an issue like this, so I'll have to reword instead.) But you have to remember. When I mod CC, I base it on myself and the user.Which means that I do not expect anyone to read the rules. As I myself never until about 3months in. Albeit I didn't break a rule, as I played it all by ear (which is what I prefer to do). I still expect the same in them as I would myself. And auto-banning is too far. When I do see an attachment thread, I lock it right away. No posting. Because people aren't directly penalized, and are still allowed to play it by ear or feel the need to ask questions. Which is what I do expect. Punishing them, on an expectation, I myself wouldn't follow? Haha, hypocrisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, hypocrisy.[/quote'] I understand completely what you are saying, but at the same time, members should be expected to read and follow the rules like anyone else. I feel that the autoban gives them incentive to do so, so that it won't happen again. An insta-lock with no reason as to why you did so may make them read the rules, but in most cases they'll simply repeat the action without so much as a wince.

Guest JoshIcy Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 But they will learn, as they see their threads locked and wonder why.If they don't most will leave. If not, ooh well.

Felix Culpa Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Wow. That one guy you use as an example should be permabanned. That is a good idea. If you took four minutes to read the rules, this wouldn't happen. Oh and the yugioh-whatever918 kind of called everyone who didn't talk to him a noob! That is seriously funny.

Max Darkness Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I'm not sure. What I think you should do is send the people (1-stars that is, everyone else should know better) a PM explaining how to upload images without using attachments.I think an automatic ban is too harsh.

OhHerro Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I don't support. I have permission to use attachments in my written card thread' date=' so an automatic ban or lock is a bad idea.[/quote'] What do you use attachments for in written cards? They're written, for Pete's sake. I'm not sure. What I think you should do is send the people (1-stars that is' date=' everyone else should know better) a PM explaining how to upload images without using attachments.I think an automatic ban is too harsh.[/quote'] Few reasons why I wouldn't support that: 1. It's more work to try and convert a member to goodness by PM'ing them than it is to simply ban them for three days.2. If they're not willing to read the rules, what would make us think they'll read a detailed explanation of posting cards? I don't support. Attachments are only not allowed in Any Other Cards. Even though all people have to do to click the card' date=' attachments are still allowed except for the [b']Any other Cards section[/b] If you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk. It's clear to me that you have not yet read the rules. Nah a instaban is naut worth it. how boutz a instaLOCK? Look a few posts above yours to read the discussion on that. And you misspelled "not" and "about". You also misused "a" twice. YCMaker said they shouldn't be a thread lock. Link me Mr. IMakeOutrageousClaimsWithoutAnySupport. They all get locked.
