Our first warning, that was quick. This thread wasn't a joke or a "please be good, guys" thing. Like I've said, the rules are getting enforced across the board. Keep this in the basement where it belongs. I don't think that is too much to ask.lhslep134;1169090 wrote:I hear he knows things

Yes, it was. And like we said, that's over. We're all on the same page now and we are serious about making this work this time.like_that;1169103 wrote:Yes, yes it was.

If you feel making an obvious joke is warning worthy, feel free to abuse your power.
I understand you are trying to clean everything up, but there is a fine line between cleaning everything up, and people just getting their feelings hurt over the internet.justincredible;1169104 wrote:Our first warning, that was quick.

So we're not allowed to make obvious jokes? That's f*cking retarded.justincredible;1169104 wrote:Our first warning, that was quick. This thread wasn't a joke or a "please be good, guys" thing.

I would say that signatures that have something that falls against the rules would need to be changed.Commander of Awesome;1169115 wrote:Just asking Justin, where do people's signatures fall into the new rules?

Maybe the obvious jokes shouldn't go directly against the rules we just made a point to reiterate?lhslep134;1169114 wrote:So we're not allowed to make obvious jokes? That's f*cking retarded.
Both of my jokes were clear sarcasm, Mooney's because he mentioned 3 times someone will likely/has responded like that, and the LJ one because you mentioned it in the OP.
WTF is wrong with you guys, that's actually a serious question not a joke.

It has a lot to do with feelings. A "LJ knows everything" comment does nothing to derail a thread. People lol at your expense, and move on with the discussion. Plenty of other reasons why threads get derailed.
As should reporting posts that have nothing in them against the rules.Commander of Awesome;1169130 wrote:I think excessive whining should be an infractionable offense as well.

Sounds like something a ND fan would say.Mooney44Cards;1169128 wrote:While we're at it, could we crack down on the dragging someone's choice of favorite teams into a conversation that has nothing to do with it? I've had multiple times where I've experienced "LOL this coming from a Mooney fan" or "A Notre Dame fan WOULD say that" has been lobbed as some sort of argument against me when its not even a discussion about sports. I realize I'm kind of asking for it with my username, but I've had this thing on this site from its inception, and on other sites since 2002, so its a bit late for that.

I agree saying it for the sake of saying it is the trolling you're trying to avoid, but I mean saying someone is being a Mr. Know It All is not something that would be unique to LJ

These rules apply to ALL forums:
- No personal attacks or unwarranted name-calling. Just because someone has a different opinion doesn't mean they're an idiot.
- Do not continually harass other members (this includes moderators).
- Do not aggressively troll a thread with the sole purpose of derailing it.
- Do not reveal anyone's identity.
- No swearing in thread titles.
- No pornography or gore.
You penalized me without me breaking a rule
