Oxmathus, on Sep 20 2013 - 03:12, said: So by all this I'm going to guess it was figured out which mods were just outrageously handing out R/Os and Warning Points? I've been playing since 2011, and I received more Warning points in the past 2 weeks than in the overall of the 2 years... just seemed a little ridiculous at that point.

For example, say someone makes a troll post, is it against the rules to call them a "moron"?

FlamingTier, on Sep 20 2013 - 02:59, said: Warning posts are getting reset, but do infractions still stay?


slayn87, on Sep 20 2013 - 02:59, said: Why do you avoid serious questions pertaining to the giftshop?
Why do you only answer questions that aren't critical of the way things are being ran on the NA server?
Why instead of answering our questions with serious answers do you refer us to outdated sticky posts that have no explanation other than "because we said so"?
Why hasn't the NA server gotten a sale on the E-25 yet when all of the other servers have?
Why can the RU server buy our beta tanks but we can't buy theirs?
Why does Content_WG have like -1,500 rep from people dissatisfied with the giftshop yet the issue is never addressed and all we get are stale answers that offer no explanation?
Why instead of taking all the negative feedback you've been getting and trying to improve on the things people aren't happy with do you just make new forum rules to avoid the situation altogether?


SULOMON, on Sep 20 2013 - 02:59, said: It should be possible that warning points disappear. Even if it's only 1 a month.
What exactly set off all the talk for revamping moderating policy? The Golden Joystick thread or was it something before that?

Since we are talking about mods. WellingtonBoot is awesome! So are you Laera!

Zaichik, on Sep 20 2013 - 02:49, said: I know you're moving fast tonight but that's created ambiguity in a place where I'm questing for clarity.  Are you talking about a change in policy -- the situation going forward?  
From the forum user perspective, posts were vanishing, no red text.  They were invisible to forum users and the forum posts were being renumbered as if they never existed.  I never imagined they were gone from the database, but that doesn't really matter with regard to the problems (confusion, further warnings for expression of the confusion) that was created.
I THINK you're telling me this should not occur in future; that if a post content is "unapproved" we'll still see that post number containing some red text only.  Can you confirm?
I have to ask because it's possible you're saying there's to be red text in an "unapproved" post entry in the database that nobody can see; that would be silly and does not help if so.
