New Banning System for the Forums

Hello guys.

Recently, the banning system was updated. Bans now work like this:

3 active points - 3 days
4 active points - 5 days
5 active points - 1 week
6 active points - 2 weeks
7 active points - 1 month
8 active points - 2 months

Our aim with this new system is to improve the attitude and general behavior on the forums, and to enforce that the rules exist for a reason, and that's not to be broken.

If you do get warned, a link to the rules thread has been added to the automatic message you are sent via PM.

Feel free to express your opinions on this, but keep it civil. If this thread goes over the top I will close it and warnings may be given.

 

It looks like a good system; thanks for the update

 

By active points you mean warnings?

 

Thanks for the update, Star.

 

Thanks Kayla :)

 

Thanks for this update! :D
But how do we check how many warning points we have?

 

Yes. Warning points that have not expired.

There should be a tab next to "Information" on your profile. If you have no warnings you will not see it.

 

How long will most warning points remain active?
(I may or may not have one that's apparently active until 2019)

 

Normally for 2 months, but we can make them longer or shorter.

 

This is a nice System, thank you for coming up with this.

 

Looks like a good system, thanks for keeping us updated.

 

Thanks for the update.

 

Now, I am kind of confused over this thread. lol

What is this talking about overall? Banning or warning?

I am very confused on this part:

The part where it says "Points" is a bit confusing to me.

Can someone please help me out? @StarlightFox

 

A point is a warning point.

This basically tells you how many points is a ban on the forums

 

Thanks for telling us Star! :)

 

Idon't like it.

 

ty for the update c:

 

Wait that still doesn't make any sense. What do you mean by how many points in a ban? Do you mean how many points you have to have in order to get a ban?

 

Yes.

 

Ok, well then.

This is fun, I can't wait to see people getting banned off the forums screaming out "WHY THE HELL WAS I BANNED???!!! STUPID STAFF BANNING ME!!!". XD That is the funniest reaction in my opinion. :D

Well this is a good update as well, I hope this works out as planned. :)
