In accordance with the CT focus group on Canon wars, the Mods and the group designed a series of protocols designated to put a stop or at least limit the influence of canon wars. What has and is going into place is a three-strike policy.

The policy is meant for any user who purposefully flames, baits, trolls in an already established "canon thread" or has the plans to create a new "war". The first two strikes are generally warning strikes of little significance, while the third strike invokes the ban. We have the three-strike policy to enable mods to "punish" posters for an offense that is not yet banworthy. However, if a user accumulates enough (3) un-banworthy posts, then that user is banned for a 24 hour time period. Once the ban has been served, the user is put on the 2-strike system, which is one warning and then a ban. The ban time is then doubled and this will repeat until the user is perm-banned.

There will be a parole board established after six months of being on the two-strike system. The parole board will review the user's activity over the past six months and if an improvement has been seen, then that user may go back to the three-strike system. Do note that the user and not the mods bring up this parole board. Also, note that the board reserves the right to not examine the case and even to do a parole on their own whim.

Good to go, so long as it applies to both sides.

It will apply to both sides and it will most likely apply to all movie forums.

I know that Spike_Spiegal (sp) plans on making that a policy for his forums. There is a very good chance that it will be adopted in more than half of the movie forums.

I don't see it. Is it having the (3) in the middle of the sentence and not the end of it?

Whatever the typo is, I blame my editor Mara! tongue

Why not create a Canon Wars forum? Or is there one already?

How about a canon wars forum, an EU is God forum, and a Purist only forum?

I don't see the point of having an EU only forum and a canon war forum and a purist only forum. The canon war forum would eventually be reduced to completists and purists trying to shove their theories down the others throats, with much bashing and flaiming. No good. And since evryone's seen the films, I'd say that it would be unfair for users just to be excluded from a forum becasue they have read the EU. Same the other way - purists being shut out of a forum because they haven't read the EU. Any user at the moment is free to visit any forum (except the private ones). I think keeping it that way would be best. [face)happy]

The point of havving a purist forum is so that maybe, just maybe we can discuss the death of BOBA in ROTJ, the end of the war after the death star blew up etc. etc. etc. Currently I can not find a place to talk about how Boba was eaten up yum by the sarlaac.

//cries

Can you imagine what moderating that forum would be like? tongue

MAQ, you can discuss it with anyone who wants to discuss it with you, but we expect you to respect (or, if you prefer, just ignore) anyone who disagrees with your ideas.

What I mean is, shouldn't that read, "Ban-worthy" posts? Or is my english not speaking good and I'm missing what you're saying.

I think they mean that if a user makes three posts that are almost banworthy, but not quite, they will be banned.
