Suspension for one day due to blatent spamming in the Zelda Storyline forum.
If people want to talk in a more relaxed way - use the Commons, or wait until the dorms are reopened.

[Fyxe]

*Shakes fist* Rrr.

Damn you, Zythe!!

DAMN THOOOOUUUU.

*Huffs and pouts*

Ok, ok, shutting up...

[Flint]

It's not Zythe's fault. If anything, he broke the rules as well by simply contributing to it and saying "this is spam".

[Zythe]

Yes, but MJ admitted it was spam. And I actually didn't report anyone, I went to speak to Vet about "the state of the storyline forums" but he was away, and then I had to sign out. I never pointed fingers or named names, in fact, I was going to ask when davogones would be back. That was literally all I said.

[Flint]

Yes, but MJ admitted it was spam.

And then he proceeded to spam a fuckton more than MPS did.

[Fyxe]

*Scratches back of head* Hey hey, lighten up, ne? ^-^;;

*Meekly puts index fingertips together* Was only joking... Not pointing fingers, kay?

[SOAP]

When IS Davogones coming back?

[Chikara Nadir]

We...don't look for Dav. We just don't. Vet and the rest of us are around when you need us, though (especially LoS in the Zelda section, I would think ^^).

[Fyxe]

Er... I'm sure I've missed something, but, um... Why? Where did he go, anyway? And for that matter, why hasn't the Mailbag been updated for months?

[Selena]

Last I heard, Davo discovered how much fun the real world was and... has otherwise vanished!

[Fyxe]

...He discovered sex?

Ba-dum-bum-tish.

[SOAP]

I like how my name is first in the title of this thread.

Also, I don't quite understand why Fyxe, MPS, and them were suspeneeded as well. All they did was respond to my spamming, which is what Zythe did also but he was not suspended.

As, for Octo, I don't think he's even posted lately, has he? Why was he suspended?

[Octorok]

I spammed once or twice in response to all the other spam.

EDIT: And Veteran mispelled blatant

[Chikara Nadir]

Well, it's only a day. Don't question it because...it was Vet's decision, and he's probably not going to change it. Jut deal and start new tomorrow.

[Masamune]

Yeah, he's really wrapped up in real life issues. I sort of foresee him eventually dropping out of the community altogether.

[Veteran]

Perhaps I misspelled suspended user and meant to put banned?


I get alerted to something in the ZS forum, I don't know what it is because Zythe was offline, I go in there and see it spammed up to fuck. ALL of you suspended were spamming, and acting like you wouldn't get away with it. AND, none of you have apologised or admitted to doing something wrong. You're all on thin ice.

Er...  I'm sure I've missed something, but, um...  Why?  Where did he go, anyway?  And for that matter, why hasn't the Mailbag been updated for months?

I haven't recieved any kind of contact from davogones since late May, when I told him I was taking a break from the site. Since then, we've all been busy with stuff happening in our offline lives, and I imagine it's hitting Davo and Khuffie the most.

As for the mailbag... well, that's usually my job, and I had to take a break due to school. I'd do it regularly now, since it's the summer, but I got a real job (hurray and teh suck). I'll try to update the mailbag this weekend, if I have any free time.

Also, I don't quite understand why Fyxe, MPS, and them were suspeneeded as well. All they did was respond to my spamming, which is what Zythe did also but he was not suspended.

I believe the rule is responding to spam (outside of "You guys are breaking the no spam rule. Stop, or I'll report you.) is also considered spam.

[Fyxe]

I believe the rule is that warnings are given before anything else. At least, that was my interpretation.

Personally, I'm fairly new here, and I didn't realise a *mild* amount of off-topic posts were frowned on to quite this degree. I apologise for my ignorance but for the most part I'm fairly used to forums that have a 'no spam' rule being *somewhat* more linient for the sake of good humour.

I generally consider that if I'm not harming nor annoying anyone in particular then I am participating in good 'netiquette'. The common sense rule of internet activity. Clearly I just didn't realise I was causing quite so much bother. For that I apologise, but I think a warning would of been nice. And some mild comments from Zythe (who didn't give any indication that any particular *rules* were being broken) didn't really feel like a warning.

Still, I'm sorry for breaking the rule, anyway.

[D~N]

I'll back you guys up:

they were goofing off, yes. But, the thread was done anyway, so no one was bothered. Zythe didn't spam at all, and, to help more, MPS and conilious spamed once, and thats it. hope i helped

[Chikara Nadir]

Fyxe, it isn't the first time you've gotten into ~mild~ trouble, and Rules always depend on the situation. If things look out of control to the point where just giving an in-thread warning won't help much, or if the people have gone so far beyond the line of rule-breaking that it's obvious, good judgement can be your own little concience cricket. Being suspended for one day IS the warning for all of you guys, and it's a very, very light punishment.

[DarkJuno]

This is not a place to debate the validity of punishments. You have questions on why you're in here or feel then need to defend yourself? Contact an Admin, if unable to by PM, by other means, but not here. Mentioning that you don't feel you deserve it is one thing, but the explanation is best left in private. One day is an extremely light punishment, as Chik said, and ya'll should find yourselves fortunate that Vet was exceedingly nice in his punishment.

[Octorok]

I'm sorry.

[Fyxe]

Fyxe, it isn't the first time you've gotten into ~mild~ trouble

Um...

Have I missed something? Other than a slight issue with my avatar (which was simply a mistake) and a misjudged topic I have not got in any trouble with the mods since I got here.

And I wasn't complaining, I was merely trying to explain why I wasn't immediately apologising and grovelling away, alright? Veteran seemed pissed off that we were not openly apologetic so I apologised. God, like I said I had no idea I was causing so much bother. There's no need for you guys to jump down my neck when I merely try to explain myself.

It wouldn't have been quite so innapropriate if you weren't in Zelda Storyline. You'll find the spam rule a little more relaxed in the Commons (and especially the dorms.) Otherwise you need to try and stay on topic.
