ChiefsPlanet OK, here's the deal... - Page 5

**DaFace** · 04-12-2011, 03:26 PM

As much fun as all of the controversy has been the last couple days, the mods have discussed all of this craziness (yes, there are enough of us to have discussion now!) and decided to clarify a few things. So...here ya go.

The rules aren't changing. They're the same as they've been for years.
We WILL be trying to enforce them a little more consistently. Things like bypassing the filters and threats will be handled when reported, and sometimes when they're not. Just depends on how cranky we are.
However, we aren't going to go banning people on sight unless they either refuse to comply or have been a repeat offender. You'll get a warning or two if you're doing something that's iffy.
The infractions system is not meant to be used to rapid-fire infractions to get someone banned. Anyone who uses them for that purpose (unless you're killing spammers) will lose the privs immediately.

That said, Hootie fully reinstated and can consider this a warning that he went too far. CC can consider this a warning not to abuse the infractions system (as can H5N1). GoChiefs would be unbanned as well, but you can't come back screaming "**** the mods" and expect that to be all fine and dandy. However, his sentence is being reduced back to two weeks. He needs some time to work on his next video anyway.

I know this whole deal has been a bit of a mess, but just wanted to reemphasize that nothing's changing. In general, don't be a douchebag, and you'll be fine. The end.

Eh, hindsight is 20/20 and other equally mundane cliches.

ha, yeah I forgot how enormous that thread had gotten...it's just like the 8th time I have posted it... I guess I should copy the explanation into the FAQ...

And if we can't be a douchebag then I don't see how Donger is still on this board.

How to do so is there, but I think an explanation as to why to use it would be a good idea.

Someone alert the owners and players to this thread... this is what the NFL Lockout, an offseason without free agency rumors has done to NFL message boards.

Good grief.

Speaking of infractions, do those fracking things EVER disappear from your profile?

Wait, supporters can ban people?

Having male genitalia makes you a male. Cutting off said genitalia doesn't make one a female. It makes one a male without male sexual organs.

I don't really care what they identify themselves as.

How cute, you think this is an NFL message board.

Don't think so.

gochiefs has received approximately 3,794,658 warnings covering everything on the list over the course of several years. He's well past the "bannable if he even thinks about doing something douchy" stage.

**Donger** · 04-12-2011, 03:45 PM

Grrr. Where are infractions shown?
