New Rules for IPB 3

[iBotPeaches]

Bans

• 5 temp suspensions = 1 perma ban
  
• Suspensions expire after 90 days
  
• A moderator can "temp" suspended you up to one month max
  
• A "warn" is a suspension, that does not change your user group, just suspends you from board
  
• A "ban" could also mean warn/suspension
  
• The only way to get your name black with the line through it, is to get 5 "warns" in a row
  
• Posting of virus intentionally is automatic perma ban
  
• Posting of virus accidentally is still a warn (I'm sorry) of 1 week
  
• Posting inappropriate images is a one week suspension
  

Spam

• Topics ARE allowed to be brought up from ANY time in order to request a new working link/image/download
  
• Topics ARE allowed to be brought up from ANY time in order to request support about that topic
  
• Topics are NOT allowed to be bumped from more than 3 months just to say "sweet", "cool" (2 day warn)
  
• Multiple reply's of "sweet" or "cool" to lots of topics in a fast time frame will be classified as spam and result in 2 day warn
  

Staff

• Do not lock topics, if topic gets slightly off topic. Let the thread continue then step in if nessacary
  
• Never directly delete a topic (unless its virus or porn) otherwise just lock then delete later. This helps the poster/other staff know where the topic went
  
• Please don't ban people for random reasons
  
• We are trying to be nicer, and less strict. Theres a fine line between being nice, and just being an ass
  

Etc

• Display name changes are allowed once at 500 posts, then at every 200 post intervals.
  
• 5 negative reps allowed a day
  
• Topics about a specific person are to be ONLY in SPAM section
  
• Positive reps infinite per day

I like the rules, they sound very fair and reasonable. Thnx Peaches

[Dan]

Agreed.

 

Although the name change thing is a bit strict, Maybe after 200/300 posts for the first time, and then whenever after.

[Korupt Data]

Naw lol there would be to many name changes then.

[Dan]

Naw lol there would be to many name changes then.

 

I spose, just maybe not to strict on the name changes then.

[Pargy]

Is there any way you can make it so when your banned you can still see the fourms?

[iBotPeaches]

Yes, but that would defeat the purpose of being banned. lol

I think lessening up on the spam would cause less confusion.

Sorry, that didn't make sense. Do you like the proposed system or not?

[Decatur]

The way you specified spam would cause less confusion ON spam.

Ohh and also thank you for clearing up the rules on bumping peaches.

[HiDark]

I like these rules, They are clear, and fair. Great job Peaches and the mods that helped.

[subs_55]

the rules are great,i love how bumping is actually brought up. now we shouldnt get stuck up kids complaining about someone "bumping" a helpful topic for a good reasons, be couse somebody decided to make up a rule that if its a week old it doesnt diverse to exist. everybody seams to stress about the rules so much that its hard to get help or enjoy whats going on, just to be and ass.

 

well, thanks. i also think its great to limit the staffs power because for the most part, there privileges are abused. lets hope this works.

 

good job, better then i expected by a good mile.

[Slidell]

Sounds good enough,I like them the spam one is the best.

[fattwam]
