Banning for nested quotes, alright fine... but for the love of christ can we see some consistency? ahurtt has like 5 nested quotes and gets a warning, newbian has 2 and gets a vacation. Did newbian piss somebody off lately or something so he gets shafted now? Doesn't make any sense.
WHAT
THE
FUCK
You guys don't have to question everything that goes on here. :roll: Take a little time to understand the guidelines and you wouldn't be questioning this.
First of all, you guys are not privy to the notes of the membership. Many of the vacations/warnings that are given are based on the notes that have been accumulated by each member as they post here. Again, let me remind you that 95+ % of the membership has ZERO notes.
Secondly, you saw all what Evadman wrote. There was a clear warning that the NEXT nested quote was going to get a vacation.
Newbian was just being a smartass here. What can I say? I will say that his notes are more than the average user here and leave it at that. All he got was a two day vacation. Evadman was easy on him.
read the guidelines
here
User Moderation
1) Warning members of a violation ? For isolated incidents, first time offences, or minor infractions, moderators will issue a warning to a user in the form of a Private Message (PM). Along with this, a note may be made in the users profile about the incident and warning issued. Warnings will be given at moderator discretion based on member behavior or the need to moderate a member's threads.
2) Temporarily banning a member (vacation) ? If a member receives multiple warnings, or commits a serious violation of our guidelines, the member will be temporarily barred from posting on the forum. A note will be made in the users profile about reasons and length of vacations. Initially vacations will be short (a week), but if a user has received multiple vacations, moderators can grant longer vacations (multiple weeks or months in extreme cases).
3) Banning a member (permaban) ? Members who have had many warnings and multiple vacations for the same offense, heavy spammers, bad traders, or those who have violated one or more US laws are eligible for a permanent ban from the Forums. Permanent bans will not be given lightly and only as a last resort for members who severely disrupt the community. Beyond usernames and email addresses, we may also ban IP addresses. Only Senior Moderators are given permission to permanently ban a member.
