DPG thinks 75% of posts on threads are off topic

Things to do to have your thread or post deleted

- Use offensive language, name calling and personal attacks on other members
- Making pointless forum posts
- Making duplicate forum threads
- Consecutive post closer than 15 minutes together (Unless unavoidable)
- Extreme Fanboyism (i.e. X console is garbage or any variation of)
- Bad sense of humor
- Unwarranted off-topic discussion
- Single word replies
- Use of immature language
- Posting of lies and made up facts
- Posting with all CAPS or using more than one exclamation mark per sentence
- Trolling, spamming or flaming
- Plagiarizing others work (Articles, screenshots, commentary, etc.) without giving credit
- Petitions on the forum are strictly prohibited.  We appreciate your cause but trying to keep Haze exclusive to PS3 is just fuel for the flame wars.

Excessive violation of any one or combination of these rules will result in a ban from the forums.

Things to do to have your account banned temporarily or permanently

- Having multiple active accounts
- Violating posting rules excessively
- Arguing with Admin or Moderator decisions
- Not respecting your fellow members


To what extent does asking a question turn into arguing? Or are N4G Staff Member immune to mistakes?

This is a legitimate question regarding how banning works.

You want to test the system Odion. I'm not afraid to lay the smack down on you. I don't care who it is. You break the rules, you get punished. It's as simple as that.

Odion getting banned for a week would be lulz-icous

Ok guys... seriously listen up here. You are all out of control. Not just one or two of you, but all of you guys. This topic has been destroyed by all your asinine comments, off-topic comments, and every other piece of trash imaginable.

The forums are going through a period of change, and you all are just going to have to get used to it. If you don't like it, than though. You're not obligated to post here, and we're not obligated to cater to your each and every needs.

I'm tired of seeing all this whiny bull**** from a lot of you. As I said, we're implementing new rule-sets and systems here in the forums to make them more efficient. You might not like it because it's not what you're used to. You might not like it because now you can't get away with your crap anymore.

We're drawing the line, and if you want to cross it, then you will be warned. If you continue your behavior, then you will be banned. Like it or not, that's the way it's going to be from here on out. If you have a problem, take it up via PM, and do not create a "bitch thread" about it.

Admins and Mods are not "god," and we're not perfect. We are all human after all, and we do make mistakes, but that does not give you guys the right to walk all over us, push the edge of the rule-book, and act like the scum of society.

Either shape your attitudes up or get out. If not, then the new rule system will remove you...

quote:

Well it has been an interesting week here on the N4G Forums. With the addition of three new mods and the upcoming announcement of a brand new admin we decided it was time to institute a new policy. Basically this works on a three strikes and you are out policy. When a mod or admin now PMs you with a warning that is strike one. Basically this is exactly what it says, a warning. The second time a mod warns you it will be a week ban, no questions. The third and final strike will be a permanent ban from the forums and subsequent bans for creating new accounts. Of course not all of this is doom and gloom. I have also decided that if you can go three months without being warned we can remove the warning strike, this way there is incentive to remain active on the forums. Lately the forums have begun to decline and the mods are doing their best to keep things civil and clean. If you want to help be sure to report anything that breaks the ToS to a mod or myself. These forums have had a reputation of being one of the friendliest around with very few fanboys and solid discussion. We want to return it to that status ASAP, and we will clean house if necessary to do it.

That is all.
