    I am back, and I would like to make a Public Service Announcement concerning the behavior on the forums:

    Recently there has been an influx of new members to the forums, which by itself is a good thing. However, it appears to me that many of these new users have not read the rules, and have been posting inappropriately, including users talking back to moderators and admins.

    I would like to formally remind everyone that I, the administrator, make the final decision on all important issues, and that I retain the right to decide what happens on my forums and who is allowed or not allowed access to the forums.

    There is to be no rebuttal from users about a moderator's decisions. If you have a problem with a decision of a moderator, you are to contact myself via PM and let me know as much information as possible so that I may make the final decision. However, if you talk back or respond negatively towards a moderator you have essentially forfeited this right that I have given you of appealing to me.

    I would like to remind you all that everything I have just said is not new policy, but has been a part of the rules that have been established for over two months now.

    An incident occured in the past few days in which a user sent an insulting, inflamatory message to me via PM having recieved no provocation from anyone else, and then continually threatened me if I did not unsuspend his/her account. This behavior was deemed unacceptable by myself and the moderators, and this user has been banned.

      Darn n00bs, good to see you noticed it Max
      *points to that zhuge liange guy*
      He's a perfect example of what you are talking about, lol. I agree though, new members themselves are a good thing, but far too many are too n00bish and it gets frustrating at times.

        Agatio, I know it is unintentional, but the term "n00b" is derogatory, and so I'd asked that you refrain from using that term when referring to new users. The proper term would be "newb," which simply means someone who is new to a forum.

          Ah yes, lets hope the newer members actually read this, seeing they skipped the rules.

                  PDM, that's just what we're talking about here x.x;

                  This goes to everyone:

                  If you have to say something like that to another member or moderator, do it through PM D:. It's not necessary to do it here in the boards. And, if you do want to point out names, say something to Max x.x;;

                        I prefer to be a troublemaker than a n00b :wacko: :( :D

                            Good for you, Max. I've had people complaining about me banning them from my forums. The rules are right there. Read them. If you don't like them, go someplace else, because you will be caught and banned. Good policy. :(

                              That policy is in practically every forum... Well, I think there's alot of new members that sort-what ruining the forums.
