    Hard to see attitude is, especially when you read it into the context. Outright flaming aside, sometimes it's hard to determine where someone is coming from.

    Isn't that true of all situations that require moderating?

    Only when objectivity is the purpose. Can that be had in this case?

    Sure. A good post is an innocuous one. A bad post is one that starts fights or takes shots at the other side.

    I guess I don't see how that's less objective than, say, deciding if a person's post was meant to be an insult or not.

    I'm too lazy to read the entire thread. Do I understand it that arguing canon outside of official canon arguing threads (if any exist) is a bannable offense now, officially?

    No, simply the means with which you do so...

    Not that I plan to get a strike ( [face_mischief] ) but if I get one, would I be informed by PMs as well as the topic I post it in? (Just in case I post something inflammatory and ignore the thread from then on?)

    It will be in the thread. The only personal notification you will receive will be a purist-virus that DLM uploads to your computer. The mouth of a sarlacc will appear as a screensaver, and you will be swallowed up by your monitor, never to be seen again (even if you are wearing body armor and carrying a cache of heavy weaponry. ;) )


    BTW, that's just the first strike. [face_laugh]

    Geez, I guess I haven't posted in here a while. I can't believe it's come to this!

    Shame on all of those trying to ruin the enjoyment of the CT Forum, my first true love!

    Now that's a good idea. [face_mischief]

    So, does both Dark Lady Mara and Errant_Venture decide on who gets a strike; or can just Mara give a strike? Also, is there anyway to find out how many strikes you have? I think it's a bad idea for this not to be readily avaiable information? .

    As Mods, they both decide independently. Considering you get three strikes, you should be able to keep track. Otherwise, a simple PM will answer your question...
    ..assuming, of course, you don't learn your lesson after the first strike. ;)

    "I think it's a bad idea for this not to be readily avaiable information?"

    This assumption is not one you need to worry about. :)

    In the Timothy Zahn 'The Force Dot Net' novels, that take place sixty years after the original web site - when a new force dot net is set up on some Atari machines by the Cockroach humanoids of Andarhiss-Five, it explicitly states there never was a 'Three Strike Policy'.
    They claim that the Canon wars were not fought over the canon of the Star Wars universe, but on the colonised moon of Ca'Non by the cyborgian troops of Gwillemer - last surviving man on earth after the Putin-Bush nuclear conflict of 2006 - and Harnon Ardestro, the mandroid created from the dna and computer chips found in what was left of the force.net admin/mods office.
    Harnon Ardestro, as Zahn wrote, spoke of no Three Strikes policy. He even speaks of an age of peace and harmony on the site as he sets up his new mods training temple on the planet Elohssa. This is totally, therefore, going against the EU of the force.net universe.

    Will you be adding a X underneath the screename on the left for each strike? This way we can tell how many strikes someone has.

    We wouldn't want to egg someone on so they incur a 3rd strike, however. That would just be mean...

    Maybe not under their name, but perhaps in their profile? That way the X wouldn't be visible to anyone browsing the boards; they'd have to click into the profile to see it.

    Heh, I like the X idea. Though, the person will be told in the thread about it. I might even send out a PM, but the primary notification will take place in the thread.

    Either this policy is working very well, or the fact that those in the focus group were pretty much the only ones debating anyway, since I havne't really seen many canon debates lately.

    Also, I'd like to note that Terrious and I used to hate each other but since the focus group have been talking on AIM quite often. :p

    That's sweet. [face_laugh]

    Keep PM'ing him. It distracts him from posting on the boards. :D
