Blaine Wrote:[COLOR="Red"]I really don't see why the banning system is such a hot topic. I've been here for a year and eight months or so, and I've racked up a whopping three WARNINGS. Accumulating seven, fourteen, sixteen, twenty-four infraction points sounds pretty damn ridiculous to me. How hard are you people trying to get banned? I don't know if you're shooting stupidity like heroin or what, because the rules here are looser than...-...(not going to finish that simile). Fiel's been nice enough to give us more freedoms than any other forum I've ever seen to date. He continually bends and meshes the rules to make sure we don't all end up in a pile of ban s[B]hit.
To be completely honest, if you do manage to get sixteen points, you deserve to be gone for good, or at least a year. [/B][/COLOR]
You've only been posting at least once a day for almost 2 years, which amounts to very little chances to get infractions/warnings. There's also the fact some of us take things more personally so we may end up posting what's on our mind only to get infracted because it was decided as flaming/trolling/drama what have you. I'm having an average of 5 posts a day, almost 2,300 posts. Sarah has around 6 posts a day, almost 2,600 posts. Both of us are at more risk of getting warnings/infractions because we have more chances to make what could be considered a bad post. There's also the fact many people carry over their RL personality over to Southperry, or we adapt to the forum's community/personality and develop one of our own. While this means this may or may not make a person more liable to get infracted/warned, it is also what makes forums so interesting at times. Not everyone dramatizes their posts, but depending on one's posting style I actually indeed get a hint of a tone of voice in my head whenever X person makes a post, some more outstanding than others.
