New policy on banning.

[masterofthebass]

I have decided that enough is enough with this forum. Anyone I feel is degrading the integrity of this forum will start to be banned. I just don't care about people being *******s to one another for no reason. There will be no debating, and if you think i'm being tyrannical, then change your ways. I don't need to sit and read a forum where people don't even talk about puzzles, and just act like jerks to each other.

-edit-

i will also be banning people who use facepalm too much, until I can make it so only premium members get that option.

well, you can't just ban someone for one bad post...maybe like 5 or 10?

I would suggest not challenging Dan on this.

No. He's right. People are being too ignorant and not being supportive of one another.

Most posts are no longer compliant with the rules

EDIT: mostly with rule #6

I can ban anyone i want for any reason. If I feel (or another moderator) someone is stepping over the line, that's it.

well, it is his choice. he'll do what he wants i guess. but yeah, 5 would be reasonable

not trying to be a problem here, but i would like clarification...when you say "debating" do you mean about non-cube related material? I believe it is only human nature for individuals to have different opinions, and clearly voice them. This is o.k. right, as long as we are not just ridiculing one another? different opinions and reasoning for such opinions, can definitely add to a thread, as long as we all act civilized...this is o.k. correct? Not trying to be difficult, just wondering.

I'm not trying to be difficult either. I'm just trying to keep the forum a respectable place. Talk about anything you want, just don't be jerks to one another. This isn't that hard, its just common sense.

I admire this. I am new here, but i have found it very enjoyable thus far, i think this is a wise decision. Thanks

Here here, Dan.
I honestly thank you very much for these actions, and I really hope that this cleans things up a bit.
