I think this is a wonderful idea. I just don't want people complaining about the rules. As long as the moderators don't go away giving points willy-nilly, I'm good. Not that I'm worried about getting points, I'm just looking out for fellow VR members.
And just a suggestion, how about posting limits? If you are in purgatory, you only get x posts per day, or something like that. |

I think we should give the users more chances, on the PokeCommunity forums, you can have up to 9 infraction points, so I think that once someone breaks the rules, they have a total of 9 chances, much like the 9 lives of a cat, so one minor offense costs you one point, while more major offenses cost two or three points, once they have a total of 6 points, they lose their priveleges until the points expire. I think this is a better idea because losing priveleges in only 2 points is not enough time, what do you think?

Also, just for the record, there is no "proper" definition beyond that a site creates for itself. And I never saw those infraction rules you speak of before Last edited by FreezeWarp; July 13, 2011 at 01:45:07 PM. |

It already seems like it's enough extra mod work as it is, all this seems like is just a lighter version of banning to me that requires more toil to enforce - I still think it'd be easier just to ban the user for like 3 days and be done with it instead of having to baby them around the forums every time they want to post. They could even try to post more often when put into purgatory just to be a nuisance to the moderators (which isn't in itself a punishable offense if they're making legitimate posts).

Personally, it would be more ideal if people in Purgatory cannot use the "Serious" tags, allow free access in the spam board, your more important boards like Announcements and Pokénews can be restricted, also, even if people have restricted access to uploading pictures, it's actually outrageous, I mean anybody can show a picture on VR it's not hard to do. And even though if they had free access to the spam board, it's content of what's ideal is dependent of the moderator in charge... (I'm basically saying put three Ast. Mods in the spam board so the mods can regulate each others content, as well as watching the Purgatory members.) Last edited by JC; July 14, 2011 at 09:34:09 AM.

To be honest we (Or at least I) don't really have a lot of work to do around the forums, so I don't mind any extra work. Besides, at the moment there aren't many people in Purgatory, I think we can manage for now.
(I do, however, think that 2 points is a little low. Maybe 3 or 4.) |

No, that's not it at all. However, it seems pretty obvious to me that you want there to be one less user considering how you've been acting.

I think I'm more so afraid of a Mod abusing it. Although I haven't exactly seen an incident in this site where a mod actually abused their power. I guess I have nothing to worry about. I haven't got an infraction yet and I plan to keep it that way, thank you! ^_^

That's the friggin' short list.

Thanks. I hope it doesn't because I already grew loyal to the members here and fond of the site itself. I don't hang out in the VRIM Chat much, but I do hang out in the forums a lot. I set up a foundation within the forums and the social groups that I didn't think would even work at first, since it didn't work in any other site I've been to except for here. One of the reasons I love it here is for that reason. Team Lunacy finally is born, and the birthplace is VR. I would hate for it to become like Zam, no offense to any who was from Zam... cause that's like criticizing myself. I conclude saying to all the mods here, I respect you all, and keep up the good work. I will do my part as well through my clan and with the help of my friends I made here, we will bring more members here, or at least keep the members interested in being here. Thank you.

I'm really glad to see increased rule enforcement through this way. You guys did a lot of work while I was absent, and the end product sounds theoretically great to me. Ignoring the fact that 2 points is a little too low (in my opinion), I'm optimistic about how this will work out.
(P.S: I'll provide a detailed feedback once I return, hopefully.) |

If you can't abide by them yourself, you're not fit to enforce them. If someone is trolling you, you must deal with them accordingly and as you would if they were trolling anyone else. Besides, abusing the rules to get back at someone trolling you is essentially counter-trolling, which only instigates more trolling out of them seeing as they got a reaction out of you. |

I'll just toss in my own two heavily moderated cents
I like the idea to have infractions cause bans at a certain level, and I certainly feel 5 point is a good limit considering how few infractions are handed out around here. Purgatory, however, is just silly. You're basically just censoring users after one or two infractions, but making it seem less drastic by not banning the user. In the end however, it's the same effect as a ban. The user is censored for a set amount of time and loses certain privileges. To repeat, I entirely understand the point of purgatory. I just think it's weird to have a "middle ground" between regular users and banned users, as while it does the same things a ban does, it doesn't follow the essential part of bans; the user in purgatory will keep posting, and will probably keep posting as they were before they were infracted. The point of a punishment is to prevent bad behavior, but purgatory is just hiding bad behavior. So yeah, Swampy away. |

You've had only one infraction in your time here. Before that you had three warnings, one of which should have been an infraction. Take your pity story elsewhere.

I work on reports. If someone does something wrong, please report it (the [!] icon in the top right corner of a post, or via PM). Don't go complaining because the moderators miss something. This is a large site, and staff can overlook things.
