I've heard rumors that a few high-profile members of the community have recently had their posting abilities removed for unspecified rule violations. Sources are trustworthy, but I can't believe this would happen-- after all, we do have a sanction report subforum.
But there's no forum-related sanctions here. Certainly anything involving 'severe and repetative violations of forum rules' would be posted there, right?
How can they improve if there's no way to know what they did wrong?
n00bl3t, Kurosora, Xelgion... if these rumors are false, post here.
BOFH, sometime in 1996 Wrote:Fifteen minutes after that we're playing poker in the storeroom when we hear the first strains of a Neil Diamond number thumping. I look to the PFY.
"The loudness switch should do it", he murmurs, taking his electrical apprenticeship quite seriously.
Scant seconds later there is a >Crump!< from the control room as Neil fires up not only a guitar solo, but also a very expensive pair of speakers.
The PFY and I can hear the beeping of the Halon warning, which means that the boss has to make a decision - save the speakers and be suffocated, or watch them burn and live.
The silencing on the warning tells us that the boss has subscribed to the motto "Choose Life".
The moral of the story? Don't play with fire (aka the intents of the admins). Choose life.
Members may be sanctioned without a public announcement. They will be notified by PM or email if this happens. I am aware of two people who had their posting rights removed and they were privately notified.
I am tired of people accusing the admin team of conspiracy and bias. We just don't do this. It's wrong and Igiss would kick our butts. In any case, the only people who have the power to do forum suspensions are Igiss, Korrd and Majkp.

Sindroms got banned aswell, shortly before he left.
[07/11/2009 19:56:16] Carmen: Igiss/Korrd/Majkp banned you?
[07/11/2009 19:56:38] Spazzydragon (Sindroms): Yeah
[07/11/2009 19:56:45] Spazzydragon (Sindroms): well, I got unbannified
[07/11/2009 19:56:55] Spazzydragon (Sindroms): but i lolzed that he did it without a sanction report thread
[07/11/2009 19:57:17] Spazzydragon (Sindroms): I think he knew that if he did people would bitch that I dared to call Mjolnir a *Censored* and then get banned for speaking the truth
[07/11/2009 19:57:28] Spazzydragon (Sindroms): but im not banned ingame, was banned on the forums for a few days

If anyone has been sanctioned during their interaction with the community, isn't it better to make some kind of public announcement. This way people know why the sanctioned are missing. They are/were part of the community, it's best that the others know.. .
