Maybe D@V£ meant that Bratty as our Spam-Star is earmarked so to say... You could also start to wonder why you called him "Spam-Star", there has got to be a reason in the way Brataccas posts that makes you call him that No one is punished more or less than any other member. If it had been pMaster (Server Team) quoting my request to stop posting one smiley replies and posting a single smiley in return, he would have gotten the same PR that Brataccas got. If a moderator/administrator breaks the rules repeatedly and on purpose, we'd discuss it in the Moderator section of the forums (since giving WB and/or PR's is not always possible depending on usergroups). If done often enough, it may very well result in that forum staff member being replaced. The only person that can do pretty much everything on this forum is Cervo, since he is paying for the costs of the server, licenses etc. If you aren't paying for all those costs you're going to have to follow the same rules that you agreed to when registering just like everybody else does. Brataccas, the rules on this forum are already more relaxed, and just like on every other forum the rules that exist will be enforced. Some forums (without going into details) wouldn't send a polite request to change posting behaviour first like we do for all but the most serious offenses (posting warez, cracks, porn etc), but would switch to the "hamer-method" immediatly. You can "Spam" in the "Chatter, Word Games & Jokes" section as long as it is in understandable English not containing any disallowed content (beforementioned warez, cracks, porn etc), flame(baiting), and is on-topic (except for the Community Chatter thread, which is by design a collection of all kinds of subjects). A single smiley adds nothing to a conversation whatever the topic may be. The rules and moderating cannot be any more relaxed without degrading into the mess full of flaming kids that the old OFP.info forums were around 2002. I left OFP.info because of a difference of opinion with Cervo, nothing to do with the way I moderated. People wanted me gone because I enforced the rules, and they weren't used to that. They thought they could make a change by childish means (flaming, insulting PM's etc). The Lord is one of those other people that didn't like that way of moderating, partially because the rules were written too strictly (edited from BIS forums), not necessarily the way I enforced them (by doing exactly what I'm doing now, enforcing the rules). -------------------- |
