[INVALID] Flaming will result in a forum ban
Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2012 6:40 pm
I, along with quite a few of my fellow Minerealmianites, are utterly sick of seeing every single thread on the forums turn into an all out flame war. I propose the new rule that if you start, or contribute in any way to a "Flame war" on the forums, it will result in a swift forum ban.
What are the repercussions?
-First flame = Warning / 24 hour forum ban.
-Second flame = 3 day forum ban.
-Third flame = 10 day forum ban.
-Excess flames = Indefinite forum and in-game ban.
Define a flame.
I define flaming as saying hateful, and unnecessary comments towards another player, or group (which is already breaking a rule) Flaming is generally spam, essentially because it clutters the forums with petty arguments involving pvp and other meaningless things. Imagine a new player's first visit to the forums to see people arguing over PvP and which guild is better than the other, who is the most loyal to their group. Its frankly discouraging to see such a mess, and I'm sure most, if not all of you, can agree.
tl;dr?
Quit being lazy and read the post. Its not that long.
