TheVampireDante Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 trufflesduval banned. Offensive language + flaming another site member. LMFAO, f*#@ing Bioware. Money hungry bastards. I make these mods for free, and until you make any I don't think you can say s#*!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Banning modders who are not only good, but also popular is always tricky. You've got to keep a fine line between accommodating mod authors by giving them a bit of slack, as often they're put under pressure by idiot trolls, and ensuring that mod authors don't think they can take big liberties with the rules because they are popular. The rules apply to every single user of this site and while mod authors are very important it doesn't mean the rules don't apply to them. After this ban went through truffles emailed me, not the best of emails (!) but I informed him of our rules, how we operate and of the new unban request form that I added to the site about a month ago. Through this form banned users can send a one-off message to the moderation team in the hopes of getting reinstated. The page details our rules and the unban process. I think due to timezone differences this process has taken a bit longer than we had hoped but hopefully soon truffles will be reinstated. He's a good modder, his mods are great and hopefully we can all move on from this. There was one other matter, linked but not really related, that a few folks have felt the need to speak to me about. People seem to get perplexed as to why we allow nudity but don't allow swearing. My answer is simple; the two aren't linked. One is natural; nudity is natural, sex is natural. Swearing is not natural, it's a choice you make when you type or speak that reflects on you. We don't ban swearing because we want this site to be PG-13, we ban it because it harbours a community of people who swear for the sake of swearing or who swear at others and I, personally, believe it fuels trolling even more. Hopefully you understand the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
