"Wrong doings" you make it sound like they broke the law, or something.

quote Dark Arcanine

And I think, Luke, it's more or less because bans are less desirable than a temporary loss of a privilege, perhaps. And sometimes, actions other than bans can work better. And on occasion, banning someone doesn't get the message through. A loss of something they presumably enjoy can do a lot more. That's my thoughts anyway, bit of an issue to remove members from a forum when it's just the one thread that's the issue. And it's more the attitude of that thread rather than members, if you see what I mean.

Fair enough. I can't really argue that. It has worked relatively well in the past (I recall Origin closing the Platinum GD for a while). But if - when(/if) it's opened - it's the same members that return and cause havoc again, should it really be everyone else that gets it in the neck (again)?

quote Succubus

Trying to get respect from X is like trying to jelly beans from a tree....well, unless you're a little girl.

Oh Mia give it a *bleep*ing rest. Isn't shit like this is why you demoted? Come on now.

Good question, I like to think it'll fall more on individual members the next time round, as it'll show even the privilege loss wasn't enough, so it'd require a different action as opposed to the same one repeated.

And X, Austin for example had someone announce his for him (can't remember who) and it was discussed within that GD. He chose to make it public, for example. I know perfectly well how the system works.

And I'm perfectly allowed to ask people to stop ruining it for the rest of us (being the community as a whole) by misbehaving. It's a simple plead and request, a person asking for people to just get on with things. That actually comes under the discussion of the discussion, which is perfectly within my rights. My warning was saying what could happen, not anything official.

To be honest, I think calling what Gef did a douche move will give him more of a reason to keep the GD closed. I think we should let it be, complaining won't bring it back faster. 3:

The fact remains that plenty of warnings were made (both publicly and privately) prior to the closure of the general discussion. Hopefully the next time you guys see your peers acting like immature brats you'll intervene--as it only takes one bad apple to ruin it for the group.

Speaking on behalf of someone who's been banned is against Neo rules, as it's a form of bypassing. I'd know, as I've gotten banned for posting what someone who was banned said before.

There's only so much we can do to try and get people to knock it off. We tell them to stop, they ignore us or tell us to stop membrating. We report them, they rage about being reported, just making things worse.

I did read through the thread. In fact, I took a look at all 26 pages. Yes, you guys had a good thing going, but that doesn't mean you can talk amongst yourselves freely. I deleted multiple spam messages, as well as duplicate posts, posted by both members and guests.

If you want to start a contest or game thread, come talk to me about it first. If nothing else I can help you organize your thread so we don't have this issue in the future.
