james221 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Lately this day some member on new vegas nexus have been banned because of their bad comment and/or trolling/spamming/flaming and seems most of them are newbies. did new vegas nexus is the most place people get banned? i don't know here in the nexus forum though. Nah, Skyrim and the Steam Workshop brought in a whole new bunch of people who had never been on a modding site before and seem to think we use the same rules as 4chan. Based on the quality, logic, spelling and grammar of their posts the average age is around 10 to 13 years old. They usually don't last long. :whistling: so they basically don't know ethics about the internet. and for the moderators... maybe you can send new user a message about the rules so they won't trolling/spamming/insulting someone everyday. i don't know if that help though or you all have tried that before.

bben46 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 On the Chat, every time you enter, you MUST agree to a short list of rules that you must scroll down to find the 'I Agree' to click and continue. Obviously many new members just don't bother to read (or choose to ignore) this simple 8 item list. #2 on the list "No talk of Piracy" we ban someone nearly every day for this. The last item is bright red and is violated nearly constantly. ( demanding help with troubleshooting on chat ) 3 of the 8 are warnings that imply a moderator may read your posts. :whistling: It takes less than 15 seconds for a slow reader to read the entire list. :rolleyes: Then we get ban appeals saying 'I didn't know' from people banned from chat. :wallbash: Do you think a similar page with around 10 or less basic rules - with a link to the complete rules - to get into the forums would have a better effect? Or maybe we could find a way to slap them upside the head with a dead mackerel to get their attention? :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sync182 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 So...I'm clearly not a n00b. >.> I have a request, though: Could the staff leave the flaming/trolling posts there for people to read, rather than spiriting them over to a Staff Only board? Sometimes I like a good laugh at how there are still children out there masquerading as adults... :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Leaving them visible just encourages and enables the trolls. They post their trash to get attention. leaving them visible would feed their puffed up egos and encourage them. By hiding the posts, we deflate them and take away that bit of pleasure of seeing their stuff and the reaction it gets from others. Some are just beyond NSFW and into raw profanity and flaming some of these are not suitable for most adults, let alone the underage kids who read these forums. :facepalm: Some of them do get edited by the staff and left as bad examples and others get posted on the ban forum. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted2547005User Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 It does seem that in the last half a year that those comments are more often than not moved to another location for staff only. It's for good reason though, to keep the threads clean to set a standard for other posters. It was entertaining to read them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority are pirates or accounts being disabled at the members request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
