Daemon's ban

[Bun]

Sup guys, apologize for the link, was really daft of me and I genuinely regret posting it up, not just because of the ban, but more so because it made people who didn't want to view the contents to do so. Sorry to every one who clicked the link and was shocked, and sorry to the mod team for wasting your time as well as a special sorry to four or six who I heard was the guinea pig used to open the link. Lastly I just want to make it clear that I didn't post it because I thought it was 'cool' or I like **** like that, it's just that reading it made me so disgusted at the fact that the dude is still alive and well that I posted it without thinking it over.

Soz people.

Oh, and here's the link for those who missed it earlier - Issei Sagawa

PEWS forcing his posting style on everyone else, y'see.

 

[Daemon]

The more I think about Daemon's ban the more it seems massively harsh to me. Before I begin, I want to make a couple of things clear:

1. I don't usually argue with bans. One man's trolling is another man's arguing and it's not my decision which is which.

2. The link Daemon posted was absolutely not appropriate and needed deleting.

My gripe is that, once the link was deleted, did the site really gain anything out of banning Daemon for a month? It seems quite clear that, as a poster with no infractions and no history of troublemaking, Daemon wasn't attempting to defy the rules for the heck of it. He just posted something he thought was interesting and rather stupidly didn't consider how other people might react.

Now, if this had been the latest in a long string of posting indecent content, it'd be fair to say we'd be better off without him. But it wasn't, and I'm sure that if you'd simply deleted the link and given the lad a strong talking to, and perhaps an infraction, he'd know he'd gone over the line on content and wouldn't post like that again.

As it is I think we've lost a good forumer, perhaps permanantly, and what bothers me is that it could have been me. I don't think he posted it with the intention of causing distress, and so a member has essentially been banned for making a mistake.

The forum has a pretty clear culture associated with it. Spend a day on here and it's apparent that posting links to cannablistic **** is not going to cut it. Must be ****ed in the head to even contemplate something like that.

Expect a multi soon though.

Deserves a longer ban actually. Perhaps a year

We've split the "posting offensive material" infraction option into two categories. The difference in interpretation will be based on intent and the level of offense likely to be caused.

Posting offensive material (heavy) - 40 points
This infraction option will be used if, for example, someone posts hardcore porn directly in a thread, tricks someone into clicking on a malicious link or posts anything we believe has the specific intention of offending the community.

Posting offensive material (light) - 15 points
This infraction option will be used in situations like the recent Daemon example, whereby someone links to something we don't consider appropriate with no warning, but is either not deliberate or not outrageously offensive.

As such, Daemon's infraction has been changed from being worth 40 points to being worth 15, and his ban has been reduced from one month to seven days.

Hero.
