Starting now, we (the administration) are going to actually be enforcing the rules.

*Everyone gasps*

Yes, thatâ€™s right. Weâ€™re really going to enforce them. Due to recent problems with spamming and other issues, we feel it is necessary to have set rules and have everyone (yes, that means you) follow them. We will be putting a link to the rules on the top of the page. We expect everyone to read them, no matter how long youâ€™ve been on the forum or how much youâ€™ve contributed. Failure to follow the rules may result in a ban without any warning at all. THIS IS YOUR WARNING.

Thank you,

BlueFlame, Spyrorocks, Spyro, and LoneKnight

Spyrorocks: Edited, added one moderator.

Forums are supposed to be fun, but now we have to worry every second wether we'll get banned.
What, you didn't enforce the rules before? Because of what I saw you three did. o_O

Paranoia · Jun 15, 2007 12:05 PM

I kiind of agree with you there, but this is a time where we really need to start enforcing the rules. The mods were very forgiving before, and it casued a ton of useless posts. I think if everyone cuts down on thw spam, we won't have to enforce them so much. I don't think it's going to be like this forever. I kind of thought Blueflame was being a lottle harsh though....

Stormy · Jun 15, 2007 1:03 PM

Yes, I was being harsh. I tend to get carried away sometimes.

We weren't enforcing the rules before and we were just letting everyone get away with posting useless stuff to get to be a Spyro Senior. Now that the ranks are gone, it's still happening. Either this has to stop, or we'll have to get rid of post counts.

DDR is right; it will not be this strict forever. The two main spammers have been banned and warned, so this forum should be getting back to normal pretty soon.

You can still have fun. Just try to keep the spam and off-topic posts under control. For example, this is what I told SFRB: spam while still being on-topic. Post your spam, and then in the same post write something meaningful. It works, and you can still have conversations with people in the middle of threads that way. smile

DanteAndVergil · Jun 15, 2007 1:06 PM

hopefully poeple get the picture with the rule enforcement its annoying to see a good forum being run down with all the spam

Yes okay some of the spam is me but i keep to topics as best i can i dont want to be banned from here

with all this said lets hope the forum and its members improve more and become a greater communtiy

Stormy · Jun 15, 2007 1:07 PM

I noticed you don't spam as much now. You used to be really annoying, (no offense) but now you seemed to have learned the rules. smile

DanteAndVergil · Jun 15, 2007 1:09 PM

yeah i was told abit about the rules at first but now i know the rules and keep to all of them i still have the odd mistake but i quickly learn from that wink (no offense taken)

lets hope the new page with the rules works eh

Stormy · Jun 15, 2007 1:13 PM

He still hasn't put it up yet.... Come on, Spyrorocks, I want to stop having to tell people off.... T_T Well, I suppose he must be pretty busy; he's still in school. tongue

Yes, hopefully it will work. We never had any set rules before; that's probably why this happened.

connor986 · Jun 15, 2007 7:57 PM

im the latest victem of the rule enforcements but i only got baned for 2 days

DanteAndVergil · Jun 15, 2007 8:44 PM

yeah 2 days but next if you continue to break the rules i believe its a perma ban
Am i right?

Paranoia · Jun 15, 2007 8:51 PM

I'd leave that to the mods to decide. wink

DanteAndVergil · Jun 15, 2007 9:07 PM

yeah i would also

but i believe if you continue to break the rules after youve banned it becomes perma ban

LoneKnight · Jun 15, 2007 10:26 PM

Not only that, but a lot of people broke rules simply because they didn't know them. That was partly our fault, as we didn't show the rules. That's why we're doing what we're doing.

That is just too bad for you I guess. The rules on this forum are going to be enforced, and thats the way it is. If you do not like it, then too bad. Honestly, thats the way it is and thats how it is going to be. Me, and the rest of the moderators will enforce rules. We will NOT loose sleep overnight if we have to perma ban someone. It honestly doesn't bother us if you are causing problems in the forum and we have to ban you.

As for connor986, we could perma ban you next time, or we might give you a week or 2 ban. We will decide when/if the time comes.

It is all up o the members. If everyone here starts to try to push the boundaries, we WILL get really strict (Well, more strict then we have become now).

LoneKnight · Jun 16, 2007 12:40 AM

Sorry to post this often on the same topic, but I must agree. These rules aren't tough. They just don't want spam, swearing, posting innappropriate images, etc. They are to protect you guys, not lessen your grips.

TB · Jun 16, 2007 5:03 AM

I agree that this forum could use some enforcing, but make sure that you arn't too uptight about. We don't want this place to be like Newgrounds. You'll get banned for the stupidest little things there.

so you are saying that after we told you quite a few times that one or two word posts were spam, you didn't know and continued to ignore us anyways?

Stormy · Jun 17, 2007 9:50 AM

I think I warned you about 50 times.

Spyrorocks · Jun 17, 2007 6:20 PM

We know what we told you, connor.

Anyways, lets not get into that here. whats done is done.

If you have a problem, don't discuss it on this thread. This was meant to be informational, not cause arguments....

Å½ Â· ...connor looks like he's really fooling around or something. He's been told many times. I can give direct links.
