Popular Post The Director Posted January 31, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hey all of you who are enjoying the USF Presidency race. This is a reminder that we do not allow abusive behavior on these forums. "Well what do you mean Director?" I mean all of the mud slinging and put-downing and such that has become commonplace in this year's election. "Psh. Whatever. What'cha going to do about it?" I'll ban you. "No way, you're bluffing man." No I'm not. I love banning people. As a matter of fact, this post serves as your first and only warning against this behavior, so you should probably read it closely. Staff Response Any further derogatory comments towards any members who are running in the presidential election by other members running in the presidential election or their supporters will result in a 7 day complete ban from this forum. "Well what does that entail?" Any presidential candidate or supporter of a candidate that is caught speaking in an abusive manner or 'tone' towards or about another candidate or their supporters will be banned from the site for seven days. "Yeah but why?!?" Because it is against the rules to be abusive or inflammatory to other members, and it has gotten out of hand. Some of our most respected and senior members have partaken in this and should be ashamed of themselves. It's not as if we're asking you to perform an impossible act. Well, actually, we're not exactly asking. We're telling you to have the maturity to act in a civilized and respectful manner to your other members, regardless of your feelings towards them. That'll be all. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIWBC Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Thank you the great and wise Director. I doubt this should happen from anybody again . This election was tainting the good name of members on the forum and that's not a good thing. I came back 2 days ago and I don't want everybody to be unfriendly to eachother, because everybody knows deep down that's not what this forum is like . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyro Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 In all honestly, I'd love for this policy to stay active after the election too, a little seven day ban after being abusive towards someone never hurt anyone. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger Intel Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I agree, hopefully it will never come to the point where someone has to be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helix Amell Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I agree with Spyro, just for precautions I think it should be wise to maintain this policy throughout all elections of USF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyro Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I agree with Spyro, just for precautions I think it should be wise to maintain this policy throughout all elections of USF. I meant to take out the USF specifics and make this a forum policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowFiend216 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Competitive = Aggressive = Absurd Behavior = Ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedStarRocket91 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Staff Response Just to clarify: this policy will extend to the post-election, not expire at the moment the winner is announced. Those who cannot be gracious in victory or defeat and feel a need to stir up trouble or drama will meet the same fate as they would have had they continued to act out of line prior to results. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unease Peanut Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I don't get why people would throw such a fit over elections that are supposed to be just for funzies. Shame it had to come down to this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delpen9 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 This ruins my entertainment, and you know it! Advice to the forums - unless you want to entertain me of all people, which I presume to be worse than a ban - keep mudslinging like the little oinks you are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
