We know in the game we dont have these problems.

If a moderator got out of hand, you would easily be able to contest it, ASLONG as you were in the right and could prove it, as far as I'm concerned.

Zim, don't play around, in game is moderated differently than the forums. Considering it is run by players for players, and can not be run by proper staff all the time on all servers.

I can imagine. But there's a small difference: here it last's for years (and Googi find every typed word from years ago )

And you find people's PM's from years ago in the history folder.

Calling one or two people something that is true based on their posts does not make the forum unfriendly. We're still one big happy family.

Forums are a public place and you are not allowed to do in public what you can do in private.

Graal is private? Wow...

These are the forums for the game, people would assume it's the same thing. o.o i sure did when i first started viewing the forums.

Either way I still think the rules are too extreme, one insult and you're banned for one week? :///

That was just one example.

Personal attack against someone: 1 Point
- This is all a matter of opinion, some of the posts I've made about Sam recently could be seen as "personal attacks" but they were not.
Inappropriate Language: 1 Point
- There is a filter for this.
Posting Non-Graal related links/url's: 1 Point
- These links could be removed, threads moved.
Signature/avatar/custom title violation: 2 Points
- Easily removed upon request or edited.
Discussing bans: 2 Points
- Again, thread can be closed due to the rules.
Evading the curse filter: 2 Points
- Not that big of a deal, can be moderated.
Insulted other member(s) and Inappropriate language: 3 Points
- I could take an offence to some of the things a moderator has said, as I have, does this mean they would get a point? It's all based on opinion.

Recreating deleted/closed thread: 2 Points
- This is the only one I agree with.

To be honest the moderators are doing a fine job in keeping these type of "crimes" at bay, this infractions idea just looks like having a reason to ban people.

I agree with you there.

It doesn't take a genius to figure that out, please.

Pish posh.
I was indirectly answering his querie.
He wanted to know if there is any way that forum users can view their 'license' and see how many points they have.
There isn't, so I was suggesting that he'd simply have to remember when he gets reprimanded.

Give the guy a break, if he wasn't doing his job, he would be fired/removed as a moderator for GraalOnline.

If you were in his position, and were offered his job, you would have to do the same thing, so don't give me, players, or himself (Sam) that crap, it's un-needed and you just make yourself look like a problem player.

Grow up.

Moderators will decide in good faith like are doing police or judge in real life.

When someone is breaking rules if he/she rarely do it then he will just receive a warning, if he is well known to break rules then he will receive zero tolerance.

We can give infractions, we must not do it. Its a kind of control system for both. Users will check if they are on a bad way, mods can give you a "yellow card" without points, but also a "red card" which means 1-3 points.
You know how much posts with spam like "looooool" in the forums. We dont warn a user who do it once or twice, but if someone do it by 50% of his posts, he deserves a infraction.

@Rufus:
Members pay no attention when things are simply removed, moved, edited, whatever.
There is absolutely no excuse for the actions of a lot of members of these forums, and hopefully this will put a stop to it.

New members, unpopular members, unknown members cannot even post on these forums, particularly in the Development forums or the playerworld hiring forums without getting attacked to death, and it makes me sick.
they have just as much right to post here, and be treated with respect, as anyone else who is "popular" on these forums. This treatment of these members makes me very angry.
