Diablo Discussion and Community Forums - DiabloFans.com: Rapture - Viewing Profile

Last night we updated the forum rules which you can view at the top of any forum. The changes were made so that you guys would know what to expect from us and we would have a more structured and transparent moderation system.

One of the main changes we have implemented a new escalation policy for infractions. Meaning, if you accumulate infractions automatic punishments will kick in.

• 1 Points: Warning
  
• 2 Points: One Day Ban
  
• 3 Points: Two Day Ban
  
• 4 Points: Five Day Ban
  
• 5 Points: 1 Month Ban
  
• 6 Points: 2 Month Ban
  
• 7+ Points: Permanent Ban

The other thing that changed are the infractions. This is by no means an exhaustive list of what is disallowed, but it hopefully gives everyone a fairly good idea of what explicitly isn't allowed and what punishment you will receive if you break one of the rules. 3 months after getting an infraction the points are expire and are forgotten.

• Advertising - 1pt
  
• Blizzard - Account Selling/Trading - 1pt
  
• Insulting Posts - Class/Level Bashing - 1pt

Please read over the new rules and give us your feedback and we'll work on fine tuning the system.

Have a good one.

Hello! My name is Rapture. Myself and Tyveris were responsible for the new design that launched for BlizzCon. We've been lurking for a little while, getting to know the other admins and mods here as well as getting acquainted with the site. We are both huge fans of the Diablo franchise, and we're extremely excited about making DiabloFans as well as DiabloWiki the most comprehensive Diablo community and resource available on the web.

After talking with the mods, we decided to introduce a new forum organization that puts more emphasis on organizing our discussions around Diablo III. You will now find that there is a new Diablo III category as well as forums for each of the classes (including the unannounced class) and forums for general discussion as well as game ideas. We hope this will make everything easier to sort through and find.

Please don't hesitate to post any feedback you may have, and we look forward to getting to know everyone here.
