You CANNOT ban here. Tell me, which one's more fun?
The ones above, or these?
The second set of posts I quoted basically destroyed the fun in banning. The former uses a variety of styles, and if you read the earlier pages of this thread, you can see that they didn't endlessly repeat consecutive bans, but instead added other things as well. The latter is unoriginal, repetitive, bland, dull, and should be kept in Ban the Person Above You game. If you like consistency, go there. This place is for variety. There's a reason why I prohibited banning in this thread. It was fine when people banned others in interesting posts and without repetitions. But people abused banning and, instead of using interchangeable styles, kept saying "Banned for this, that, whatever." That's why I removed banning privileges from this thread and also added a rule to avoid repetitions. And you could see just how tired I became of this...
At first the bans were a fun, integrated part of the game, but after a while, they were not only repetitive, but were taking over the thread (when there's already another thread for banning). But this lack of variety and annoyance drew the line. So after this post below (quoted), there's NO banning in this thread.
So now you see why I don't allow bans here. |

No. You are getting on Cvn-tv-dip's nerves because you warned him for no reason I believe. For this reason I will place you temporarily on Moderation Queue. Ban Misuse Policies I would just like to remind everybody that Game Bans within this topic are not allowed, and should instead, be kept in This Topic. This includes IP bans, name bans, and email bans. The three main reasons we have prohibited the use of bans in this topic are as follows:
Convicted members who send a PM to me or Cvn-tv-dip confirming that they will not ban in this topic again should wait at least 10 minutes for a response. Duplicate PM's sent by a single member confirming that the said member will not ban in this topic again will be ignored, and that member's approval back into the game will become void for another 24 hours. Thank you. |

I don't need all of this... My point on my recent really long post was this: A lot of people who banned think that this game is just banning someone above that person, saying a simple reason. THIS game is more than that. You can moderate any way you want, but people keep overusing the format of Ban the Person Above You Game. How is "Banned for _____," or "Suspended for _____," or "Warned for _____" any fun? If it's supposed to be strictly that, yes, I understand. But this topic demands variety, and too many people ruin it. The "Warned for no reason" made me irritated for several reasons. First, he seemed to have no regard to what I said in that long post. I took time to explain my thoughts about the situation in this thread, and he didn't care enough to read it. That post was managing the game, not playing it. Yet he posted another repetitive "Warned for" post. Second, he kept using "____ for ____" format instead of putting any thought into the post, and the post seemed to really lack moderation skills. This game is NOT "Banned/warned/suspended/deleted for whatever reason I can think of." This is Backseat Moderation. You're supposed to imitate a good moderator and add humor to it to produce a good flow in the moderation queue. Look at the earlier pages, and you can see posts like "Moved to Seth"/"I have sent you a 20 MB PM"/"Your name starts with a 'c', so why bother to post?", which not only indicate more effort, but also show more continuance in the thread. There are posts like "Don't mess with this thread! There's a reason why I pinned it!" with replies like "There's a reason why I like eggs!!! You're BANNED!", which follow up with "You can't like eggs here, sorry." My point is, you don't look at just the next person and find a shortcut to ban or punish him or her. You look at the entire thread, and moderate as you see fit. Too many people are missing the big feature. Instead of adding these complicated regulations that Annihilator Ing proposed, I'm going to set up a plan here. If things continue to go badly even after I tried to reason out and express how I feel about this thread, I'll make this thread like The No 'E' Game - breaking rules will make the person lose the game. That means if someone bans, he/she is out of the game permanently, and the game will operate more like a survival (even though it's NOT hard to survive). If things continue to get annoying, I'm going to ask Stephen or another mod to watch over the thread so that the posts including bans and rule-breaking will really be deleted. If I find out that I just can't control what's posted in this thread, I'll ask Stephen to lock my thread, saying that because it's a duplicate of Ban the Person Above You game. |

The regulations I've set up weren't really very complicated: People get 2 chances for being forgiven for banning in this topic After 2 chances the person can't come back in People must wait at a least 10 minutes after they send a confirmation PM to us for a response. :/ However, what you said is a lot easier, for us and possibly the other members, so I agree with your method instead. |

Okay, then. I've added Necessary Measures below the rules to initiate if things worsen. |
