Forum Guidelines Rules & Warnings - New Forums

[NineLine]

This post is meant as an update to this post here.

 

With the new forums, we have adjusted and adapted to a more automated system as far as how points are assigned and how punishments are handed out.

 

With the new forum, we now have points automatically added for specific warnings that is based on our rules found here.

 

The matrix below shows how warning points are given, and the duration they are kept on your account. These can be overridden by ED Community Managers at any time, but in general, this is what you should see:

There are now three levels of administration that will be reviewed by the ED Community Managers. Although they can be auto-assigned, we will discuss and review these with the user should the need arise.

 

These totals are new, and may need to be adjusted, but for now:

• 100 points total: Moderate Content (User cannot post without approval from moderators)
• 200 points total: Restrict from posting content (Suspended, can still PM)
• 300 points total: Suspend from accessing the site (Banned)

Points stack and unstack, so unless you are doing things to get yourself perma points, it should take an intentional effort to reach 100+ plus. 

 

At any time you feel these warnings are unfair, or you are being unfairly assigned points, please reach out to anyone on the ED Team, especially me ( @NineLine ) and @BIGNEWY these rules are meant to maintain the quality of discussion on these forums, and not to punish an opinion or suggestions.

 

Your opinions about DCS, ED, 3rd Parties, and other users are not punished here; however, how you deliver those opinions may be if not delivered in a mature and constructive manner. We know that everyone is human and that mistakes can be made. Let's work together to make this a welcoming and constructive forum for all. 

 

Thanks

The ED Team.
