Answer 11

PUGS AND DWUGS WILL SOLVE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS SO WHY ARE YOU TAGGING ME

Answer 12

(._.)

Answer 13

but no i think everyone should be treated fairly although if someone is constantly told not to do something their punishment should be different than someone doing it for the first time

Answer 14

rules should be the same for all users including ambi and mods.
But i think it is pretty obvious thing in this world that one who do the same thing again and again gets punished more often than the one who do less (but still same punishment for him)

Answer 15

Interesting post. I'm guessing this is because your main got suspended? xD

Answer 16

BECCA! Where have you been young lady?

Answer 17

Well i understand what your saying i kind of agree with you @Nnesha ^_^

Answer 18

My goodness off the post I claimed the dude innocent happy? -_-

Answer 19

This is how i see it. There's a difference between individuals who are new to openstudy and engages in such violations and individuals who've been on OS for several years but continues to violate the rules.

Answer 20

The level of punishment doesn't matter, it's the surface I care about. A person should get punished for breaking the rules, depending on the severity, their punishment can be worse than the other, but both should still be punished

Answer 21

Yes I strongly agree with @ShadowLegendX.

Answer 22

I must give my master Becca medal :)

Answer 23

A new user probably doesn't know that saying inappropriate words is violating the rules whereas a person who has been here for a good amount of time is very experienced and knows very well that it is violated to speak in such manners.

Answer 24

i think a first time offender should get a warning

Answer 25

they are new and learning but if they continue to break the rules thats a different story

Answer 26

It wasn't a first time offender, that's why in my example, I said they killed two guys, showing that it had been done more than once

Answer 27

Everyone gets a warning equally and a suspension after the warning if they engage in such acts. No exceptions here.

Answer 28

MEKEY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!

Answer 29

Answer 30

MEKEY FOR AMBI!!!1

Answer 31

Exceptions seemed to be present, seeing how you're defending the user who obviously isn't new, creating a veil as if they're "new" and "don't know the rules" to justify your act

Answer 32

MEKEY FOR ALL TIME MASTER SENPAI!!!

Answer 33

Be quiet and stop the riot. SHEESH
This turned into absolute spam >.>

Answer 34

Nah just supporting my senpai <3

Answer 35

I iz just a kohai ;-;

Answer 36

But again, if someone keeps violating the rules their amount of suspension time is more likely to get extended than those who are new to OS.

Answer 37

True

Answer 38

But you never know weather or not it's an alternate account.

Answer 39

I'm not trying to say the user who did the action more often shouldn't have been suspended or that the the severity of his punishment wasn't valid.

Answer 40

My focus is on the other person

Answer 41

No one should have the same suspension treatment when everyone behavior is different.

Answer 42

I apologize for misunderstanding your question.

Answer 43

What is the thesis here?

Answer 44

Yea but this could be seen either way.

Answer 45

I have to go now. I'll come to this post again when i log on.

Answer 46

Bye :/

Answer 47

"A murderer on a kill spree gets punished, someone who stabs two guys to death doesn't get punished."

Both should get punished for there actions. They both committed a crime and broke law(s). One should have a more severe punishment than the other since once went on a killing spree and the other killed only 2 people. (Metaphorically speaking)

I agree that people who commonly spam and break the rules on this site dont get punished. I myself have witnessed this about 1-2 months ago. A user broke the rules and was not punished because he had a bad reputation and "he has changed" since then. I dont see how that helps to avoid a punishment. That is my thought @ShadowLegendX.

Answer 48

Meh, today was a singularity, I don't spam anymore(randomly) but at occasions I do so with purpose. Today is an example of such

Answer 49

senpai

Answer 50

Genocide the opposition. IP ban first time offenders, provide pardons to valuable users or who have shown loyalty but had a lapse of judgement.

I run a site with quite heavy return traffic (Alexa rank 1,000 through 2,000 range), and generally this is the way we go I have found. It does not discriminate against anyone. If people want to gain access to the site again there is an appeal process they can e-mail to. It was way better than bans that latest hours to days, those only seemed to escalate into anger, and cost the loss of valuable users.

An anonymous posting system is better than a identity based one but that is not the point of this thread so I will refrain from going into it.
