Forum bans - readme if you want to avoid them
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2011 6:21 pm
After running these forums for a while now, there's two really fast ways to earn a ban around here:
1) Drive-by spamming for shoes/drugs/search engine "optimization"/other completely unrelated games. Doing this will earn you a permanent ban.
2) Excessive harsh language, i.e. a bunch of four-letter words in a row directed at others. This will earn you up to a few week temporary ban.
I pay the bills for this service, I moderate it, and I set the rules and tone for it. I don't put up with harsh language around me in person, and I don't put up with it here. You may be used to speaking or hearing such language in online games, but this is not one of those online games. There are a million other places to post content online if you feel cramped by the ban on such 4-letter words. Clear?
