Unfortunatly, "Lanezeri" is the first to be suspended from these newsgroups
until the 20th of August, under the recent one week suspension rule. It is in hopes that this one week of suspension from posting will allow him time to think about his recent actions and derogatory comments towards others here in the newsgroups, and we look forward to having him back on the 20th as a productive member of this newsgroup community. Under the new rules, we have decided upon incremental suspensions. Let me just break down how suspensions will work, as we think this is the fairest way to go about tempering some of the more inflamitary nature of individuals in here. There is a warning, if the content guidelines are infringed upon in a over the top manner, if the behaviour continues, the individual will receive a one week suspension. After that suspension, they are free to post in here again. On their second warning, if they continue after that, they will be suspended for two weeks. On a third warning, if they continue after that, they will be suspended for a month. A fourth suspension will be permanent. As you will see, they have six chances to avoid permanent suspension, and it is in large hopes that this system is fairly looked upon by all of you. I do read these NG's, but sometimes things slip by us, if there are specific problems that have not been addressed, please mail me about them and we'll look into them. I want to try and help these NG's get back to a good forum in which to converse about the software, where the debates can be ruled by intelligence as well as mutual respect, if you cannot respect one another for an individuals opinions, then there is no point in being here. I'm currently also looking into a web forum version of these newsgroups, so we can makybe get a larger cross section of people in here as well, we will see. Lets see if we can turn this NG into a productive environment, and we will all look forward to seeing Lanezeri again after his brief time out. -- Fletcher Anderson Active Worlds Support Activeworlds.com support at activeworlds.com programmerAug 13, 2001, 5:04pm

Facter at awsupport isn't an address. It's more of a ... "this is where I am"-type thing.

Sounds wonderful so long as it is used against pests, not the occasional insult. Keep the bar kinda low

Thats the aim - it will only be used in the most "pestified" (yeah i know
thats not a word) situations....I think there will be more than enough warnings to show that it isnt merely heavy handedness - I dont like banning people to tell the honest truth, but sometimes something must be done as a punishment, otherwise it will jstu keep going on, and on, and on..... We'll see how it goes =) Facter. [View Quote] programmerAug 13, 2001, 5:55pm
Why was Lanezeri banned btw?

Facter, I would like to know why you have not suspended eep? If you read his
posts you will see for years he has done nothing but drive people away from these newsgroups. Read the post from Count Dracula stating he will never post again and you will see an example. Eep has tormented people in all the ng's. Hope to see you take action with him on his next CR eep y post. [View Quote] [View Quote] lanezeriAug 13, 2001, 7:10pm
Without Eep what is this NG? You are why -I- torment people.. idiots.. Eep
brings.. what's the word.. excitement to the NG.. he makes it un-boring.. without him it would be full of newbies who didn't know what to do.. at least he helps them when they fuck up.. he just adds spice to it.. [View Quote] wingAug 13, 2001, 7:27pm
In case you hadn't noticed, earlier this year Fac started quite a crisis over a "vote" to ban Eep. The overall concensus was that
Eep had somthing useful to contribute every once in awhile, and in general serves as a wonderful pest removal system. I'd think Fac has the smarts not to start that again anytime soon, as it almost split us into two warring sides then, and would likely do the same now. [View Quote] sw chrisAug 13, 2001, 7:41pm

Erm, are the warnings sent to the person via email? Because I don't
recall ever seeing you warn Lane here in these NGs... Also, how is it that Lane was able to reply to this thread? Does the suspension not go into effect until the next day?

Because Fac is slow? Or maybe he just banned the IP instead of popping his login.

It seems to be done by IP? Or Fac just doesn't have direct access to the server to kill the login.

> Because Fac is slow? Or maybe he just banned the IP instead of popping his
login. Im not slow, he was supposed to be banned right after I did that post, I was there with Tom when we did it - I think perhaps the reject list didnt build properly or something, I'll fix it in the morning. Lanezeri, if you continue posting and making a nuisance of yourself, then you may have your suspension increased. F. [View Quote] facterAug 14, 2001, 12:04am

Dont know, something messed up, and, he was warned in the general group and then promptly continued his comments, thus, he is being suspended. F. > [View Quote] |
