If someone who had clearly deserved infractions and received them claimed they did not have them, it would make players think we were playing favorites or that we didn't do any moderation. On the other hand, if someone received an in fraction for X but said they got it for a completely different reason (something that happens very often), it paints an incomplete picture. We can't respond to these issues because of privacy concerns, and because it would occupy way too much time.</div>$ Forum rules: show examples of infraction-worthy statements (Tarrant)

In its essence, the PM stated we were having a nice conversation, and is it necessary to threaten people.<br /> <br /> We <i>are </i>having a nice conversation. However, discussing the disciplinary system is not an excuse to pretend the community guidelines don't exist. All of them are there for a reason, including the disciplinary one. I have three times in this thread now asked players to stop discussing their specific disciplinary history. We prefer to ask rather than just give out infractions, but at a certain point we're not left any choice. Clearly many of you are concerned about your posting status on the forums - blatantly violating the guidelines is not the best way to illustrate that.<br /> <br /> I wanted to give one last warning before I resort to enforcing the guidelines, considering we've been lenient the past couple days. Given the conversation that we've been having here, I thought it would be appreciated.</div>$ Forum rules: show examples of infraction-worthy statements (Tarrant)

That is something I don't understand.</div> </td> </tr> </table> </div>We make all of our community guideline changes without announcement. At the end of the day, they really don't apply the vast majority of posters. This is far from the first time we've changed something without making a big deal about it.<br /> <br /> What we did instead was notify repeat-offenders who had violated the forum guidelines (through the use of warnings, not the final infraction that would have banned them) that we had made a change to the ban policy, and we suggested they read the policy again.<br /> <br /> Hope that explains things.</div>$ Forum rules: show examples of infraction-worthy statements (Tarrant)

The point is to stop repeat offenders who game the system from being able to repeat their offenses.<br /> <br /> When we attempt to apply the "final" infraction, we are given a big message that tells us this infraction will ban someone. We can then review their account and see if there are any questionable infractions from the old times that we can sweep under the rug. This banning, as Patience said, requires a manual aspect.<br /> <br /> <div style="margin:20px; margin-top:5px; "> <div class="smallfont" style="margin-bottom:2px">Quote:</div> <table cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td class="alt2" style="border:1px inset"> <div> Originally Posted by <strong>Borror0</strong> <a href="showthread.php?p=3240144#post3240144" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="http://cdn.content.turbine.com/sites/forums.ddo.com/images/buttons/red/viewpost.gif" border="0" alt="View Post" /></a> </div> <div style="font-style:italic"> Since that's unintuitive, hopefully Tarrant will stick to deleting the posts in question and never issue infraction points for that (except for repeated offenders, who have been forewarned).</div> </td> </tr> </table> </div>For this kind of situation (and all that are unclear) we would first issue one or more warnings. If our warnings weren't heeded, that's when the infractions come into play.
