Dazzla Veteran Posted July 13, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 13, 2002 Originally posted by use_imagination just wondering... what kind of reasons were/can people be banned from neowin ? Breach of the community rules is the main one. See them above on the top of every page. I can't really think of any others, I suppose if the mod/admin has a good enough reason and is supported by the other mods/admins then that could be one as well.

Tesseract Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Repeated violations of community rules, or anything deemed serious enough to deserve such punishment. about scoobie: he posted uncontrollably, that's the main reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Originally posted by Wickedkitten racist posts Seems to be a crowd favorite at the moment wouldnt you say? Seriously, if you guys can't think of anything nice to say i strongly urge you to keep it to yourself. All these vulgar remarks i am seeing posted, will just earn you a one way trip out the door on your backside.

SuperJediMedia Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 I would LIKE to see MORE TOUGHNESS on Respect around here. [edit]Post edited - please use Neowin PM or private email for personal discussions. - deadzombie[/edit] You may have no respect for another person, like myself, but you should just keep it to yourself, like what Keldyn said "Seriously, if you guys can't think of anything nice to say i strongly urge you to keep it to yourself."

Tesseract Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 I have to agree that members need to show a little more respect around here, but members also need to show a little more maturity as well. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keldyn Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Look. Don't go condemning another member on the forums either. That is disrespectful of them too. Works both ways ya know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJediMedia Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Originally posted by codyg11 but members also need to show a little more maturity as well. Just my 2 cents. Agreed, but there is NO standard for maturity. Maturity means different things to each person... Like cussing. some of you people never cuss may think those who say F- and S-words a lot are immature, but there are a lot of people who does cuss, even seemingly very mature people. Also, many respectable people have gotten way arrogant themselves, and I hate that. I have seen many times, that a person such as a manager, or a Mod ought be respectable and mature. Yet their arrogance made them declare themselves to be 'Holier than thou' attitude. And, respect is a major Part of maturity in itself. You never tell people directly they are stupid, and even if they ask for your opinion, you shouldn't bluntly call people stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, some members of this forum have taken this attitude towards everyone else, mods and regular members. Just ignore them. That is the best thing to do. :) Originally posted by JediXAngelAnd, respect is a major Part of maturity in itself. You never tell people directly they are stupid, and even if they ask for your opinion, you shouldn't bluntly call people stupid. Well, I have one thing to say about respect, and this applies to everyone: to gain respect you must earn it. It is just that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vraa Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 i think one can get banned by posting irrelevent information am i correct?

What i mean by that like posting information about macs in a windows nt fourm repeatedly.. j/w at the same time.. If they did this consistantly than maybe. A warning would have been issued first however. We try to be fair in all situations. We would point out to the member what they are doing wrong so they know better for next time. If they choose to ignore this advice and persist with their behavior, than yes, a banning will likely follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not judging you or anything, notice that what I said applied to everyone, not just you, heck, it even applies to me. :) It is just that you cannot just expect someone to like you no matter what you say or do. Your actions (posts) determine whether or not someone will respect you and like you. Please don't take any offense to this, but if you would just let this go people may respect you a little more. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
