It can really be annoying when you are trying to make a point in a thread and then someone comes in and spam/flames/baits in that thread. Although you can turn a blind eye if that spammer of flamer is a friend, and maybe even agree with him. That is why, we usually select those we report. Nevertheless, as a regular forumer, at some point, you are also guilty of spamming/flaming in the past, if ever. If you or someone gets away with a forum violation, fine, it happens. We do what we can and be as liberal as can be to let you express what you want to say in the forums. However, if you continue to post freely in disregard of the forum guidelines, then, if not now, sooner or later, a member, a moderator, or even an administrator will catch that 'post' and will enforce the rules accordingly.
This thread where targetman377 was selectively accused of flaming/baiting/spamming is also full of forumers who are guilty of the same things targetman377 is being accused of. Was this thread supposedly only for those who should agree with the thread starter? Anything else is nonsense? This topic made by b.k. barunt is about him telling everyone that Andy has abused his powers. Andy is an administrator of Conquer Club.
Since some of you only select what you want to follow in the Community Guidelines, let me remind these lines:
Twill wrote:The Community Guidelines
Welcome to the Conquer Club community. We're not just about kicking each other's rear ends here; we also like to hug and sing and drink around a camp fire. So, we have implemented one very simple rule to keep the community happily drinking its hot cocoa:
Don't be intentionally annoying!
Common sense prevails - if you are intentionally or continually making this community less enjoyable for others, you're going to be removed from it. It's that simple. This applies to any part of the site where interaction takes place; in Forums, Private Messages, Live Chat and Game Chat.
Night Strike wrote:Forum GuidelinesPosting in the forum is a privilege, not a right. If you want to continue to keep this privilege, play by the rules.
Rules, precedents and customs from other communities don't apply.- Neither do the By-Laws from the Podunk 3rd district. Believe it or not, Conquer Club is a private business. Just because something works one way in another community does not mean that is how it will work here. We're usually less strict and you can get away with a lot, but that doesn't mean that you can pull the "This is how it works everywhere else" card and expect to get away with it. Really. This is not "everywhere else."
- In the same vein, just because you are here, does not mean you MUST be here. This is a business and CC does reserve the right to promote or discourage any kind of behavior it sees fit. Claiming your first amendment right to free speech to post about the colour of your poop last night will not fly. If a mod or admin specifically say you shouldn't be doing something, regardless of if it's specifically spelled out in the rules, or if you think that they are stupid, it still means don't do it. If you don't like the rules here, google.com will help you find somewhere more appropriate.
Be nice or leaveIt's fine if you don't like this site or the way it is run...find another one with better rules, start another one and make your own rules, abuse another one and try to get them to change their rules, but don't complain about the rules here.
Rule EnforcementFor users who break the above Guidelines, as they say, "there will be consequences and repercussions." The Mods and Admins will always take into account when past infractions occurred, and the severity of the current infraction and any past infractions, in addition to the intent of the infractions.
