You can't say "Skyrim, Obligotory words so mods won't hammer me" I have seen this and it does not work.Rastelin said:
Damn, I didn't know getting a warning for saying you use Ad-block- is that program illegal or something? I don't use it personally, but I know lots of people who do.
I guess there are a lot of rules and regulations on this forum, more so than most forums, but personally I don't have a problem with that. It keeps the atmosphere positive, and ensures a degree of dignity and even maturity- two things sorely lacking from just about every other forum I've ever visited.

I have one:
Nr. X: Remember that every account here represents a human being and treat everyone accordingly.
They all have feelings, dreams, hopes and a life just like you and thus should be treated
with respect, civility and courtesy.
Insulting others will almost always result in hurt feeling, which in turn will lead to a
retaliation until the both of you are just slinging hurtful things at each other, at the
end of which you both will feel worse than before, decreasing the total amount of
happiness in this world.
So do not forget that everyone on here is a human being as well. Except for spambots.

There are forum users that are epileptic or photosensitive, that would would most likely trigger that, it would be irresponsible to allow that, besides it's unpleasant to look at, I'm not epileptic or photosensitive but that really tired my vision, so yeah it's kind off bad.Akytalusia said:i was told i would get warned/banned if i used this avatar:
they said it would violate the TOS. i'm not sure how legitimate that is, but i thought i'd share.
Or you could just abuse the forum health system and just be an ass every 6 months like me.
Currently I'm waiting for my 2 year timer to tick around so I can start all over again.

Looking at the post that he was banned in that's probably the case. Although I wouldn't be surprised if his overuse of the word 'liar' had something to do with it as well.Zachary Amaranth said:
Shame he was banned though, even though he was probably a bit too straightforward in what he thought, I found him to be among the more insightful people on this site
I wasn't saying that you need to give your post a full investigation before submitting it, to expect that of anyone who posts would be insane. I don't think it is unreasonable though to expect forum users to have a quick glance at least to be able to shoot down anything obvious. My point was that in having this quick glance it would be extremely hard to miss any spelling errors, therefore frequent spelling errors in a post can be interpreted as a sign that the poster has not made this quick glance. I have no problem with other people making spelling or grammatical errors, it doesn't bother me at all.Shadowstar38 said:
It does have a sense of urgency to it, anyone considering ban jumping should urgently be told not too.Hjalmar Fryklund said:

Ahh memories. My very first full ban was of a user with 10,000+ posts who had put a low content post with the words "Extra words to avoid mod wrath". I banned him and added;Evil Smurf said:
Mod Edit: "Extra words to avoid mod wrath" does not avoid mod wrath
Sucks that I had to ban him for it but he was on his last health bar. So yeah, don't do that, I hate it and I know other mods hate it too. It breaks the rules and attracts attention to yourself.
Edit: For some reason, despite us mods and the staff making it abundantly clear, some user still think the Low Content rule relies just on letter count. Which it doesn't, and thus they think they can get away with it by adding extra words. Also I know some users seem to think the Low Content rule is policed by automated bots, which is weird, but also probably explains my previous sentance.
Gonna add one more thing before I leave you alone for a couple of hours.Evil Smurf said:
Do not threaten a user with violence, emotional trauma, harrassment, or other types of bullying.
If the threatening is just a joke, make sure it is clear that it is a joke to avoid misunderstanding from third-parties.
Just asking, but what is "gaming the system"? Like, can you give a few examples of what it means in the context of this site? Like, would someone who's on his or her last legs taking a year break count? Even if they never come out and say they're doing it to get their health bar down. Not saying I will, I'm just curious. Also, I remember seeing that first full ban of your's, many laughs were had.TimeLord said:
Exactly what SL33TBL1ND said in his post, getting up to the upper end of your health bar only to intentionally wait for it to drop so you can start being a dick again. Taking a break to drop your health bar is fine. But if you come back and immediately start causing trouble again then it's not going to look good.ToastiestZombie said:
