Are infractions unfair? -

"Infractions" (what the hell happened to calling them warnings?)

Warnings became infractions when vBulletin updated the ability for forum staff to customize and administer penalties to users, and started calling them infractions. The word ‘warning’ was always confusing, especially when a staff member gave a warning that incurred a penalty. We also had to come up with our own term ‘caution’ to describe verbal warnings that we gave members, but which didn’t count towards the the three strikes of our three‐strikes‐and‐you’re‐out practice. A warning now is what used to be a caution.

Thankyou majic.
look max, can we just forget about this whole thing now? my infraction expired 5 days ago. This thread wasn't meant to be 3 pages long!

ABM: I’m not holding anything against you.

alf's brother's mate · #64 09-09-2007, 06:37 AM

i am very pleased to hear this - a moderator holding a grudge against me after 2 months would not be a good start. nope. not at all. and what does ABM mean?

***Wil*** · #65 09-09-2007, 08:10 AM

It’s your name.

Majic...i wouldn't call the mods biased bastards.

No i would call them Sadistic Bastards but thats just me

Mutual Friend · #67 09-10-2007, 12:07 AM

No no no, they evidently ARE biased, and only a couple are 'bastards'.

Patrick Vykkers · #68 09-10-2007, 03:09 AM

I would say that the moderators are not unfair, but rather inconsistent. Certain members seem to receive virtual immunity from prosecution and even special titles and others who engage in lesser or similar antics are rightfully prosecuted.

alf's brother's mate · #69 09-10-2007, 03:47 AM

i knew that max.

No, that is actually called unfairness, Pat.

My point is, that there are a bunch of us who are really fed up with the way your all letting Melvin suck your dick! He is just being a constant wanker, saying things like "your racist", "your a jew", "I fucking hate those fucking negros", "fucking dirty jew" etc. We are all getting fed up with the way your letting him totally get away with it, whereas I get half the worlds supply of building bricks thrown at me for being blunt with my opinion.

That my friends, is part of an old message in my inbox from a mister RC (who I guess may or may not still exist on another name here- who knows). Good memories, good memories.

Damn I was awesome.

I recon if we had Mitsur here we could start another campaign... You know, Bikini for Havoc, give Ghost Burial Grounds, Down with Corrupt Mods...

At the end of the day, the infraction system is meant to filter out the people who generally didn't mean to spam from the people who don't care either way. If you broke a rule without meaning to then you get an infraction, it expires and you never have to worry again. It's only if you're A: a complete n00b who will spam until the apocolypse regardless of how many infractions he gets, or B: An idiot who explodes in a violent expression of rage if anyone says they're doing wrong, that will suffer at all from getting an infraction.

The mods get the job done I feel. Bias yes, I will agree. But they're only human.

None of the mods are bastards as far as I can tell.

Oh other than Pete.

Mutual Friend · #74 09-10-2007, 02:56 PM

Halfway there. You forgot the King Bastard: Havoc.

Patrick Vykkers · #75 09-10-2007, 04:23 PM

The fact that Hobo hasn't been banned due to the mods liking him (Alcar even said he used to regularily talk with him) is a classic example of mod bias. He made a whole spam topic dedicated to worshipping himself, spams up most topics, insults the mods and admins, often sexually, and even openly calls himself a troll. Any other member would have been banned for that, but because of his connections, he gets immunity and a special title.

Havoc is not a bastard. Granted, he thinks debating is actually a "Say the word f*ck most often" contest but he, despite hating me, has not gone after me in spite. So he's not a bastard as a mod.

Mutual Friend · #76 09-10-2007, 05:17 PM

I wasn't talking about him as a moderator, I was talking about him as a person, in his heart and soul. But let's not give him anymore exposure, he'll lap it up.

Amazing how the people who say this sort of thing are also the same people who have received infractions. Frankly, you don't know who has and hasn't received infractions. FYI (thought it's probably breaking a few rules to reveal this), in my time as GM I have given infractions to both Hobo and OANST. Extract your head from your anus, take two aspirins and you'll feel better in the morning.

Patrick Vykkers · #78 09-10-2007, 06:54 PM

And how is it the result of having my head up my arse that I happen to not have access to mod-only info?

Take a Chill Pill.

***Nate*** · #79 09-10-2007, 07:14 PM

No, it is due to your head up your arse that you couldn't consider that the so-called immune members have actually been given infractions.

Hobo stands as a man among men, one of the greatest members this board has ever seen. He has dutifully served amongst our staff in the past, and shall hopefully continue his pilgrimage to bring wisdom and enlightenment to the rest of us for years to come. Viva la Hobo!

I love you too baby

Mac Sirloin · #82 09-11-2007, 03:49 AM

Truth be told, Hobo, might make a good mod.

I mean, he's a pretty likeable fellow, all things considered.
He can openely mock himself and not be a dick about it. (You know, how I try to do.)
And, apart from a select (But JUST) few, just about everyone likes him, like the preppy kid thats nice to the social Pariahs but hides a DEEP DARK SECRET.

Anyways, I don't mind infractions, I am not going to let them Pile up and will try to learn my lesson.

Mutual Friend · #83 09-11-2007, 10:02 AM

A ridiculous statement.

alf's brother's mate · #84 09-11-2007, 10:26 AM

Hehhe, Hobo i was reading a thread you made about how the forum had f***** up again, and i had to agree with it really. I agree with Hobo twice in this thread. Who here has Pete ever been tight to?

Patrick Vykkers · #85 09-11-2007, 01:34 PM

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I completely, utterly, totally and fully agree with you.

You guys are aware I was both a SMOD and moderator at this forum right. Ask the rest of the moderator team for how they think I did.

Mutual Friend · #87 09-11-2007, 03:03 PM

I have little interest in the matter, Hobo.

Then shut the fuck up and stop commenting on it.

Mutual Friend · #90 09-11-2007, 03:13 PM

I was talking about your persona, not your potential as a moderator, about which I have little interest, while the former does vaguely annoy me, and I'm incredibly interested in the things wot vaguely annoy me.

STFU yourself, assclown.
