    We are all (or mostly) grown ups of some flavor. If you can't get along then go. If somebody is screwing around, a nice message from a mod should clear their head, if someone is still a jerk then boot them.

    We aren't in grade school where we need time outs and a written paper trail of referrals, detentions, etc... Hell, this isn't even a democracy. It is an OWNED website which should function the way the OWNER says it should.
    If people can't read over the last 3000 posts about whatever and figure out the right way to talk to people then they don't need to be here.
    I agree that we should all be civil and get along, and that everyone should know how to behave.

    Unfortunately, that isn't always the case and measures like this are sometime necessary. Hopefully we won't ever have to use it, and options to remove users' ability to use the forums are always available if we need them, but this provides a clear-cut deferral and detention system for the moderators and administrators to utilize as they need, in addition to the usual avenues of approach.

    I think that it's great. Not too harsh, not too lenient (sp?) And I also like the jailbar idea heh heh.

    The harshest infraction (3) is basically there to blast the damned spambots with a ban... (say that 5x fast?) The rest of the system is just a quick way to tell people when they get out of hand that we are serious about keeping it civil.

    I really don't care if people argue about a topic until they are blue in the face; as long as it doesn't get stoked to a flame. Even then I'll just delete posts that are fanning it and see what happens from there. I'll admit I have an itchy delete finger sometimes, depending on my mood.

    This is really a forward-looking system in place for when the site grows and changes.

    I vote that one of the mods or admin sticky's this thread (or just the part describing the system) and/or puts it in the TBCS Handbook.

    Guys -

    Trust me this system is here for good intentions and as long as everyone behaves in a good way as everyone does, no-one will have a problem. How do you not know that this system has been in place for the last six months but you guys did not realise.

    Basiclly don't let it stay on your mind beacuse tommorow you will forget it is even there!

    Gaz, I mainly meant the description of the discipline system, not just the FAQ thread.

    This will go into the handbook once everyone's clear on what it is and when Rankenphile is happy that you guys understand his explanation.

    Works for me... gives everyone a clear line on what's acceptable and what's gonna lead to a binning.

    And love the bars idea......

    my thoughts as well.

    Since this was a pretty important new change to the forums, I dropped it in the Chatterbox to make sure everyone saw it and had a chance to give their feedback.

    I think everyone is pretty clear on it now, though.
