Introducing a New Method for Enforcing TOS/Site Rules

[MelissaFlipski]

I am just wondering about "sexual innuendo" in the Breeding section. People regularly use terms like "sexy" to express their joy at snakes in general, I have noticed. Is this considered an infraction, I wonder? Or "my balls" (referring to BPs..) I hope that I don't get an infraction for this post; it is in the interest of learning the ropes.

We think a lot alike! But I think we are safe in these cases; it seems.

I may have lied. I think it only shows because it was edited?

Go to the post, click on the red box showing that it was hit up for infraction and you will see the "why."

But there is no easy way to know why someone has points unless they give us the link like you did.

I don't disagree with enforcing the rules, in fact I like the way the rules have been spelled out a little more clearly. What I disagree with is the public punishment idea where everyone can see how many times you've been dinged, but not what it was for.

I agree about showing why members have points. If you show the points, why not be able to click on their points and get a list of the infractions (w/ or w/out links to the posts). But then everyone will want to see members' rep points, too. Where does it end? Maybe I don't agree. Hmmm... something to think about.

Glad to see the new policy. I hope it makes this forum much easier to moderate for the mods/admins and causes some people to reconsider making inappropriate post before they hit the reply button.

Or, in the case of people who DON'T think twice about hitting "submit," I am glad they can be banned.

Bcampos and Wilomn, you are both looking like you're inciting each other. I am GLAD I am not an admin or mod - making the infraction calls is going to be a tough one.

The only question I am left with is about the fact that John (Jasballs) has infraction points showing "how close he is to being banned forever." Are there others in this category? I think I know of someone else who may deserve to be in that category but has no infraction points under his name. What if you leave and come back with a new name? Doesn't that count, too? (I am not insinuating, just curious.)
