DZComposer Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 We've been having a discussion in a staff meeting about behavior, and the resulting loss of a couple of valuable members.Quite frankly, we are all tired of the behavior. Mr. K, Steve, the mods, and myself have all chimed-in on this.We have reached a consensus, and there will be some permanent bans coming within the next couple of days. These bans are for general behavior as opposed to specific incidents.Also, we will be running a tighter ship around here.As much as I hate banning people, when the behavior of a few causes us to lose others, then I have to draw the line. I do not want SFO to gain a reputation as being a nest of elitists and trolls. Unfortunately, the time has come to dust-off the Ban Hammer.Hopefully the removal of these people will allow me to avoid instructing the staff to go into BOFH mode.[modbreak]NO NAMES.And don't ask if you are one of them. If you are, you will find out soon.[/modbreak] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindr Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Nice, but how do you plan to reattract the members that dropped out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RedPhoenix32 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Oh boy... Okay. Im worried that either the little things I did will get me banned, or that some people I know will get banned. But I havent had a warning in ages, so I guess Im alright.

DZComposer Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Only a couple of people will meet the Ban Hammer at this point. There will also be a couple of people finding out what it is like to be in the restricted permissions group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RedPhoenix32 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Oh dear lord... I hope Im not one of those. I know what restricted permissions is. Its not a happy place.Normally, you will get a pm if you are in restricted permissions and be told that it is indefinant. Sometime its perminant. Other times, its enough to scare you. Cause it scared the heck out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DZComposer Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 If that was intended as a genuine "I'm Scared" post, please don't. If you haven't been a PITA for the staff, you won't be affected.And don't PM us to kiss-ass. That will serve more as an annoyance, and will be less likely to give us a favorable view of you.Also, this isn't something to joke about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RedPhoenix32 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Yeah. I think I may have come up as a kiss-arse. Sorry, but I got a little scared from this. This is like a second life to me where I can blow all (well not all) my troubles off and just have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braux Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Alright, personally I'm not scared of anything, however, this is one big step for the forums, I just hope when the dust settles, everything will return to normality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DZComposer Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Domino created a second account shortly after that. The second account was restricted for quite a while, but it is no longer. That old account just hasn't been pruned yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RedPhoenix32 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Look back one page, Kursed. Julius was talking about an old member named Domino.I think we should just not worry about this and leave it be. We'll just wait and see what happens. Even though my personal opinion says otherwise, it is the logical thing to do, and I will follow that logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
