So swearing is not condemned if it is used in a way that doesn't insult someone? Nice. I can still call people's ideas "fucking ridiculous"... or at least I think I can...
I don't care if you curse. But calling someone's ideas "fucking ridiculous" is insulting to that user. So be careful about that.
Indeed, they look entirely different. The first one could easily looked frustrated, while the 2nd looks more like a good answer to a not-so-serious idea.
Smileys do make a big difference!
I have something to ask about this system. You say that points will expire after 3 months.
Its all great, but what for the points we got before? I got 3 that will follow me for 1 -year-. I won't cry a river for it, but I do find it a bit unfair now, especially since 4 more -will- get me banned (and only 2 will get me banned for more than I can take :P).
Prior to those comments I was never sure what was meant by QQ or TT, guess I'm not cool enough
On topic though, I always like to see well managed forums that discourage some of the annoying parts of most forums(overly rude posts, racial slurs, etc). These rules look nice to me.

Just don't get any more
I'll set those to expire in after 3 months.

Surely racial slurs warrant more of a punishment...
They receive an automatic ban for using a racial slur. I was thinking that would be enough to nip it in the bud. Anyone else want to weight in on this one?

i like em all cept the sig one but its fine if you talk to them and they downright refuse to do anything about it =3
Your sig is fine. What don't you like about the sig. Pretty much it's just saying - don't break our template with your sig, don't have it overly tall, and it shouldn't cause epileptic fits.
Not sure what you mean by " but its fine if you talk to them and they downright refuse to do anything about it"
I got this last questions in a PM, but I thought that others might have the same question.
Lets say that if you get 7 infractions but you got 1 infraction each year after 7 years would you be permanently banned? Do fractions still expire and this would just all be warnings?
Nope. You would actually NEVER receive any sort of ban if you got 1 infraction each year. 3 months after EACH infraction point they expire and no longer count to your total.
Here is a time line:
10/17/2009 - (A) 1 Infraction Point - Total Infractions: 1
1/17/2009 - (A) Expires - Total Infractions: 0
5/10/2009 - (B) 1 Infraction Point - Total Infractions: 1
5/12/2009 - (C) 2 Infraction Points - Total Infractions 3 - Temporary Ban
8/10/2009 - (B) Expires - Total Infractions: 2
8/12/2009 - (C) Expires - Total Infractions: 0
So, basically you have to get 7+ infractions in less than a 3mo. time period to recieve a perm-ban. Unless you do one of the things to get a perm-band.

Watching 240 guys talk trash about cavaliers is like two retards having a slapfight over a sippy cup.

FIIIIIINE
Common sense is a great thing to have and should get you a long way. Reading the rules is also not a bad idea

I guess not, but might be considered spam.
I was referring to my post in general. Though I am asking a question that is on topic i guess.
lol - I can't really see where that would be ON topic in any forums other than an Off Topic or Spam type of forum. It would be very situational.
This is the place to get your questions answered and give feedback to the new system. We want to be clear with you guys on this.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone!
Either I've failed at finding them, or I have none thus far :/.
Edit: Hope this only posted once.
