Banning Rules Need Changing

[Rab]

I know what you mean cig. They are private.

But they are private AND AGAINST THE RULES WHICH ARE CLEARLY STATED AT A1

[Zerzera]

I remember Rabbitrapist being axed from staff for being racist/discriminating on staffchat.

[Demonic]

actually if banned several ppl based on logs/screenshots for racism. Whoever said u cant is speaking out of their arse. If enough proof is their that an infringment in the rules has been made fine go ahead and ban, however really depends if they had been warned or not before for it, so rab they probably still wouldnt have been banned, just warned

[Rab]

Demonic, my point is for something to be done, if it takes a warning first that's fine. I brought this up because it seems common for nothing to be done, and that has to change.

I think I recognise most people in your avatar Ewan, but there's a few unknowns that are really bugging me..

Since we're on a new page i'll give the link again:

Try thinking about it this way. Forget everything you know about trenchwars current procedures. Look at what that guy did, and post what you think would be a suitable punishment.

It doesnt matter what he said or what he did. I dont have to read it bc its not a bannable offence. It never will be and it shouldnt be. those are PRIVATE messages/chats. They are made in private so nothing can be done about those. Private msg's can be sent from any SSC zone anyway, so u cant stop them. All they have to do is switch zones spam u/be racist from there, switch names do it more. THey can spam a TW staffer racist things from dsb if they want to and nothing can be done.

This is a closed case RR, move on with it and just ignore the person next time. Its alot ezier then this.

Ewan: thats what i meant. Its not like it takes 20 minutes to modify or make a fake screenshot. It can be done while ur talking to a staff member about it.

jacen: i bet u wouldnt have as much trouble as u think. Sure u should/would bann for cheating and things like that (tking/lag/etc) but if u didnt ban for the little things i bet ppl would stop trying to push the limits.

Cig: Do you want that type of person to be playing with you?

I often wish I had these enhanced ?ignore commands to work with.....

?ignore_repeat - This would ignore and simply mirror back whatever PM is sent to me from the original sender.

?ignore_reply:msg - This would ignore and reply with a message back to the original sender.

?ignore_list:word1,word2,word3 - This ignores any PM with words I chose to block.
