ChiefsPlanet OK, here's the deal...

**DaFace** · 04-12-2011, 03:26 PM

As much fun as all of the controversy has been the last couple days, the mods have discussed all of this craziness (yes, there are enough of us to have discussion now!) and decided to clarify a few things. So...here ya go.

The rules aren't changing. They're the same as they've been for years.
We WILL be trying to enforce them a little more consistently. Things like bypassing the filters and threats will be handled when reported, and sometimes when they're not. Just depends on how cranky we are.
However, we aren't going to go banning people on sight unless they either refuse to comply or have been a repeat offender. You'll get a warning or two if you're doing something that's iffy.
The infractions system is not meant to be used to rapid-fire infractions to get someone banned. Anyone who uses them for that purpose (unless you're killing spammers) will lose the privs immediately.

That said, Hootie fully reinstated and can consider this a warning that he went too far. CC can consider this a warning not to abuse the infractions system (as can H5N1). GoChiefs would be unbanned as well, but you can't come back screaming "**** the mods" and expect that to be all fine and dandy. However, his sentence is being reduced back to two weeks. He needs some time to work on his next video anyway.

I know this whole deal has been a bit of a mess, but just wanted to reemphasize that nothing's changing. In general, don't be a douchebag, and you'll be fine. The end.

Exactly as it should be, I think. Everything is clear and in print.

You guys are way too nice.

Two wrongs don't make a right. That's about all I have to say about the Hootie/CC situation.

Dictator!s!S!QSQ!!

Interesting turn of events.

IMO, it doesn't make sense. You know what ****ing and any derivatives of the word mean... so the label is there, demonizing cusswords seems a bit religious / reeruned or something.

You KNOW what they are... why candy coat it. You aren't gonna get in trouble at work for having a cussword on your screen... you would get in trouble at work for wasting time on Chiefsplanet instead of actually working.

I don't want to talk about GoChiefs banning, but has he been removed from CP totally?

He is no longer considered the top poster by the quantity of posts.

**dirk digler** · 04-12-2011, 03:29 PM

Sounds reasonable. Since there is quite a few mods now is there really a need for supporters to be able to ban people?

Sounds like the result of a productive, thoughtful discussion. Good work, mods. <--My brain stroked a little as I typed that.

That's the beauty of having a choice in the matter. Amazing isn't it?

Locking that other thread is a clear instance of mod abuse. Death to Smoochy!

Na, banned users just don't show up.

Questionable. But that's not changing as of right now.
