It's just the people whose posts are constantly stupid and without merit that may find themselves in trouble.

I feel offended right now

I would, personally, like to see less "general" bans for stupidity, and more bans FROM THE PPP because the reason is obvious, I hope.

That's great and all, however... can we please enforce this rule on the main site as well?

I think we've been handing out mutes for that.

Yeah, that's kind of the line you have to draw: once you become so stupid or lack so much common sense that normal discourse is interrupted (for example, posting "I HATE SONY" in a topic about PS3 sales. Still on topic, but stupid), that's when punishments come in. We'll add it to the rules in a bit.

As with everything we've always gotten into messes enforcing though, the actual definition of "stupidity to the degree that it becomes a distraction or disruption" is going to fall into some heavy grey area.

dsasdf read this as intercourse rather than discourse.

ANYWAYS.
Jeff.
ILOVEYOU. Finally. This pretty much covers all rules every created in the simplest way possible. Too bad it's not "simplier" enough for some people. --;

Well I personally think this rule won't really be enforced, or make any kind of difference to how this place is.

That was Duckboy you just quoted.

I haven't read through this yet, so this can't be counted as EXCESSIVE stupidity; Does this apply for the PPP as well? My guess is yes.

Okay, there still appears to be some confusion over this rule. This rule doesn't mean you can't joke around and all that business, however if you repeatedly post stupid things so much that it becomes a distraction and an annoyance, then you will be banned.

Here's an example that I'm using because it was a real occurrence that happened long enough ago that the person involved probably won't be offended by my using it (plus he's changed quite a bit since then): remember when Mechant kept posting "it was chunkier than usual!" so much that the admins temporarily added "chunky" to the swear filter? If he had done that with this rule in effect, he would've been banned.

First suspension under the new "no stupidity" rule. To quote the anonymous reporter:

http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?sh...0&#entry1724091 guess Shadowman picked up on this one
http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?sh...0&#entry1724011 not contributing, but neither is Duckboy

And here's the jewel of his collection:

http://archive.mfgg.net/index.php?sh...0&#entry1723951  Being a douche because like so many people living in the past, a board with like 50 keys on it + a piece of plastic with a ball under it is obviously now (and forever more) better than even trying anything new.  Because I said so.


Most of these posts wouldn't be a big deal by themselves, but together they're pretty damning. Two days.


From my warn log. I do expect to be getting atleast a one month ban for saying this, but I couldn't care less.

I understand some of the reasoning behind the ban, but the "jewel of my collection" was nothing more than an opinion, not stupidity. The Virtual Boy is an example of being too innovative for it's time and look how far it got. It pisses me off how I'm getting banned for saying the Wii is a gimmick when I actually think it is.

I fail to see how I did anything wrong (only taking into consideration my talk about the Wii), and if I can't say my own opinions then I see no reason in coming here.

I'll see everyone around, and I am not mad in anyway at the one who reported me. It is a little obvious who it is, though I may be wrong.

I actually didn't take that last one into consideration when banning you, and probably should've just removed it altogether when I posted that in your warn log. The others are perfectly legit, though.

And yeah, a month ban.
