Is this for real? It seems pretty silly to me. Why even bother with a three strike policy? If someone is being a jerk, the mods should have the stones to ban them on the first offense. Wait a sec…that might include me! Anyway, even if someone is banned how hard is it to create a new e-mail address and sign up again?

And yet, how hard is it for a mod to check an IP address and ban again?

When the policy was put into place, things were much, much worse than they are now. However, there is nothing wrong with keeping it in place as a preventitive measure.

This thing was a must back in the day and now thankfully either A) it fixed the problem or B) certain individuals either left or were banned. I must admit with Bib gone life is so much easier.

And its easy to ban. But saying "OMG the EU is crap" is worthy of a strike but not a ban. Hence the strikes. I still enforce it on a semi-regular basis. Its more picking and choosing just to show that the thing is still enforced to a degree. But now most people don't bother to get into the canon debates so my example of "OMG the EU is crap" now more often than not gets ignored. Instead of a reply. Which leads to another reply...

Well, for starters I'd suggest looking under the inactive forums category on the main boards page and reading up on the CT Canon Wars focus group stuff. Essentially, some of us (myself included) seemed to be able to turn literally every thread into a canon war, and it was getting tiresome.

We didn't hate each other - far from it. We just couldn't agree on the subject of the EU. We got together in a private forum and came up with a policy together, and since then there have been very few problems.

Those are the very basics... but the wars go much further back, from before I even registered here.

Oh yeah much too long to tell that and I'm too lazy to give a detailed description. JMO's is a nice short short version but for more you can go... here for a very detailed description.

I've only been on this forum for a few days, but I like to read the heck out of a forum before I start posting, to see the tone, the people and sometimes if I even want to be a part of it (some car forums are absolutely brutal when it comes to people being disrespectful). I haven't seen TOO MUCH of that here...the occassional, "get it through your heads" type of thing...which might be on the verge of disrespectful (especially when what you're telling them to get into their heads is just your opinion), but I don't see it as a ban offence. Everyone has to learn that these are only words and to take things with a grain of salt, and if you're a 30 year old man arguing with a 13 year old...relax, and take the more mature road that your age should indicate.

That having been said, I would have to say that I do see a certain bias towards the EU here...but purists kind of tick me off more than they do, so....and the only EU stuff I've ever read was the Bounty Hunter book many years ago, and I only bought and read that because Boba Fett was on the cover wink .

To be honest, I don't see why anyone has to fight about anything... debate it, keep your criticisms to the point, and don't be as fragile as an egg anytime someone doesn't agree with you... Sticks and Stones people...but some people are only here to stir the pot, they don't even seem like they like Star Wars... I love Star Wars, I have a picture of me watching Star Wars in the theatre when I was 2 shaking my fist at Darth Vader, and in my intoxicated teenaged years, we watched the OT soo many times I can't even venture a guess on how many times... Because I'm a Star Wars fan, I value all different views on the subject, especially on something that the movies left open to debate...that's why they were left, so we could all discuss.

But the people that are just here to trash talk, we could do without... a little trash talking is fine...but if you only joined a Star Trek forum so you could insult everyone and call them Trekkie losers that need a life, then you don't belong, and the same goes here... but if I were to say "I guess you could do better than George Lucas" after you critcize him, I think that's valid. And I've generally seen good behavior on this site so keep it up, and remember... "do not give in to anger and hate...the Dark side are they..."

Keep open the clean debates... there is room for all of us here, even for people like me who have no idea who this Aayla Secura person is thinking wink applause

Anakin, if one is to understand the great mystery of the GFFA, one must study all its aspects, not just the dogmatic,
narrow view of the purist. If you wish to become a complete and wise fan, you must embrace a larger view of the EU.
