I agree with 80las, give him a second chance just put a zero tolerance policy for him, no warn or anything like that, at the first misstep ban him again. Maybe it will force him to think before arguing again.

Hmmm....a few suggestions for rules. I've been on this Canadian Gaming forum and it's been great. Nobody bickers with each other at all, partially due to the moderation, and partially due to the well written rules.

I'll just copy and paste them;
<blockquote class='quote\\_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd> </dd></dl><div>Mean what you say, and say what you mean.

Excuses
If you need an excuse to say something, then it's not worth saying. This includes "I had to", "someone had to do it", "it needed to happen", and any wording where you're trying to play off an action or phrase. Nobody's putting a gun to your head. If you do something, stand up and own it.

Antagonistic patterns
Apologies are awesome when they carry some weight. Nothing is quite as character building as making mistakes and learning from them. That being said, use common sense, read the rules and be in the know before you start posting. If you show a blatant disregard for the rules, intentionally skirting and baiting with your conduct, or facetiously apologizing to get off the hook, it won't fly.

Baseless claims
If you plan to make claims, be prepared to support those claims should a mod or admin request it. Requests will be private unless otherwise necessary.[/quote]
<blockquote class='quote\\_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd> </dd></dl><div>

Sometimes, groups of people just want to fight, attack and turn off all sensibility to be part of the mass. Let's not.

Unconditional

Antagonizing agendas, hijacks and derails
Some people feel the need to infuse topics with their own personal vendettas, martyrdom or crusades, consequentially derailing and ruining discussions. Hijacking threads for personal reasons earns an infraction. Agendas which are destructive to the community and antagonistic, or constantly berating others from their high horse without provocation, warrants a ban.

Witch hunts
If you find a reason to dislike or not support something, do what's right for you. Sharing that opinion and information with others shows another perspective and contributes positively. Organized efforts to slander, attack, or negatively affect a person, place or thing, are a witch hunt and unacceptable. They stem too often from misinformation, hearsay, emotional manipulation, and are purely negative and divisive.

Raids
Equal to witch hunts, targeting a community, website, service or event.

Exceptions

The opposite of the above, where a person or group positively supports a cause, person, situation, or product. Murder by bear hug doesn't count.

A second exception is if an admin gives their support. In that case, there's official backing and cause for considering, as opposed to flagrant assaults.
[/quote]

<blockquote class='quote\\_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd> </dd></dl><div>Respect is a major facet of this community. Baiting, character attacks, and passive aggressiveness do not qualify.

Baiting
Laying a trap so that others get infracted for bullying? Don't. Pushing someone's buttons to illicit a reaction? Watch yourself. Backseat modding? Nope. Poking at mods to goad a reaction? HELL no. Intentionally baiting the community to get flames? Case by case what qualifies. Keep your wits about you and don't take the piss. Provoking a character attack intentionally is an infraction.

Character attacks
Personal attacks are already covered in another rule. This covers both personal AND member attacks. Slandering someone for liking a game you don't, a band you don't, or anything not of your approval, is childish and pedestrian. This isn't a schoolyard and bullies aren't tolerated.

Passive aggressive fronting
While this could be passive aggressive behaviour on a whole, fronting is a good term for it. If you have something to say, prove, share, claim or otherwise, be direct and be real. Sideswiping, potshots, and other bitter, cowardly trash doesn't get anywhere, so quit it.[/quote]

<blockquote class='quote\\_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd> </dd></dl><div>English, motherfucker, do you speak it?
For the majority of this community, English is the main language that is used. Please try to speak using it, otherwise you'll run into a LOT of issues communicating with everyone else. Exceptions to the rule are topics devoted to sub-groups with other native languages appropriate to their subject.

ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME
Lower your voice, we can hear you fine. Lower your hand, John, we can see you.

Catch all word usage
Some people like to use words, gay in particular, to describe anything negative. Even if this WASN'T offensive, it still makes you look like an uneducated tool. Use words that are correct for the situation. If you don't know any, check a thesaurus, dictionary, or learn more of the language.

Disrespectful words
Some words, in particular those referring to people's race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, state or otherwise, can be extremely offensive and inflammatory, but more importantly, they're blatantly disrespectful. Using them has no place in common discourse.

Claiming ownership of terms
Equally so, if you are any of the related races, ethnicities, sexualities, genders, states or otherwise, you don't have an inherent right to use those words freely, especially due to the rules against making things personal. You're online, you don't have any of these classifications, so there's zero purpose in calling claim to them.

Exceptions

Swears are ok. Arcademy is completely fine with crass language, as long as it stays respectful and not directly attacking other members.

Disrespectful words are allowed when approved prior by an admin, in the case of topic creation that is applicable to the terminology, history pertaining to the terminology or surrounding culture, or other pre-approved situations.[/quote]


I can post more...but I feel this forum has a huge language barrier. People from all over want to try their hand at modding, and while I think that's great, people should also be committed to learning the language of the forum.

If anyone needs me to translate, I can understand Punjabi/Hindi/Urdu.[/spoiler]

I completely AGREE with Warrior. But I think none of the admins will want or have the time to write a full set of rules like that. Maybe you could ask whoever is in charge of that forum if those can be copy-pasted and applied in here, of course if the admins do accept.

Also, if Staff are looking for moderators i think Warrior would be a great choice. I think you don't like me too much, but i find you a quite polite person and someone who simply tells it like it is and not tries to offend on purpose.

Just to be clear guys, re-writing the rules has been an issue with staff for a while. I have re-written the rules to be clearer, but they kept being changed back to the open-ended version for 3 reasons:

1) My clearer version was deemed to be too long. There was concern that some members would not read them. They were 6 rules with a short explanation of what counts a breach for each of them.

2) No matter what rules we have, there is always some moron trying to debate loopholes. For one example, Keson once asked veteran members to stop insulting new members for asking beginner questions. He asked people to just ignore new members if they found them annoying. That may seem like obvious advice to you, but one member outright argued with Keson over it.

3) No matter what rules we have, there is always some moron trying to debate loopholes. No, I am not saying the same thing again. Members who broke rules tried to get warnings reversed based on twisting our words. By keeping the rules vague, it took away deniability.

Personally, I am up for a change in the rules. We have struggled finding a good balance, particularly as many of our new members don't speak English as a first language and are still in school.

@Warrior: Those rules are good, but there are members who definitely wouldn't understand some of it. One of the reasons why there is no bickering on that Canadian website is because most of the members are Canadian. Those guys make Switzerland look like a concentration camp.

@Raghu: Your restriction was only for a week, and it is almost over. Stop complaining.

Stop typing like that. Seriously, I hate reading that crap.

@ Rev: You're right, we need a balance between completely open-ended rules and extremely detailed rules.

And to the members who argue loopholes in the rules, they always forget the biggest one: OSR Staff have final say so.

This isn't a democracy, maybe when we start getting paid to be here we'll let people treat us like so.

This. Lol. You know, i feel this same way about reading some members' posts. I know it's not completely right and that english is not your mother language, but, please, at least show some improvement over time.

Some members, like for example hasa, seem to refuse to improve their english. It's not bad when you're starting here, but when it maintains over time, it kind of becomes annoying.

Well, instead of pointing out his shitty english, why not correct the guy? someone can go ahead and tell him to improve it, teach him some basic stuff, like use capital letters at the start of your sentence, add some punctuation and all that.

I say give hasa a second chance, he's a very talented modder, ban him if he starts flamming again simple as that.

I don't know about Hasa, but should get a chance.

Swifty: It isn't an easy job to teach, it takes time. As far as I know, people who don't speak english as their first language, try to pick up. You know that.

Reverend: I'd like to say sorry not only to you, even to Aryan for my lame joke on his "Ban the person above you" thread.

Also, since champion gamer posted some rules from other forums, I have some here. Maybe just wasting your time, but they're good.
1. You can have no more than one (1) account on the forums.
a) If you are unable to log in to an old account (that has not been banned) and use the password recovery function, it is acceptable to create a new one. After doing so, you must immediately request the administrators to merge both accounts.
b) Administrators might occasionally need "dummy" accounts to test certain things. This is acceptable under condition that those accounts are made known to the other staff members, at the very minimum to other admins.
c) An Administrator may permit a user to use an additional account for specific reasons. Such an account should not be used disruptively and be made known to other staff members, at the very minimum other admins.
d) Non-disruptive use / posession of multiple accounts beyond the situations outlined in points a) through c) will result in a warning and blocking all extra accounts beyond your main one.
e) Disruptive use of multiple accounts or continuing to create multiple accounts after receiving a warning will result in immediate ban of all your accounts - including the main one - regardless of your status or function.
2. If it's posted from your account, you're responsible for it.
3. Accounts created with intention of violating forum rules or circumventing an existing suspension/ban may be banned without prior notice.
a) If the first post done from an account constitutes of an unauthorized advertisement, the account will be banned immediately.

Forum conduct
1. Harassment, slander or verbal abuse of other members is not allowed. This includes:
a) Posting an individual's personal data, e-mail/messenger adresses or pictures of them against their will.
b) Impersonation of an existing user.
c) Discriminating other users or making derogatory comments towards them (whether sexual, racist, religious, political or otherwise)
2. Do not link to, offer or ask for warez, oldwarez or console ROMs. Do not link to warez sites.
a) If a game is marked on the main site as "Sold" or "ESA Protected", any download link for it is considered oldwarez.
b) Because of their nature, links to torrent files and BitTorrent sites also fall under this rule.
c) Offering or asking people to help in getting warez in return for money will result in an immediate ban.
d) All console ROMs are considered warez by default.
e) We will not offer any help in running pirate copies of recently published games (or cracks, serials, CD-Keys etc for them). Don't even ask for it.
3. Do not post offensive/violent/pornographic content, whether in form of links, images or otherwise.
a) This includes posting links to shock sites and posting images found there.
4. Don't swear. Excessive use of foul language may result in suspension or ban.
a) Swearing at other members qualifies as verbal abuse, as outlined above
5. Do not spam. This includes:
a) Posting questions or information that is completely off-topic in the given thread. Such posts will either be split or removed.
b) Posting multiple copies of the same post or thread, "bumping" topics or spamming to get other's attention. This is not a chatroom, so don't expect an immediate answer to your questions/ideas.
c) Posting messages that consist only of smileys/quotes. These may be removed at the moderators' discretion.
d) Posting advertisements or trade/employment offers without admin permission.

Chatbox
All rules concerning the forums apply in full to Chatbox.

Private Messaging
Do not use the PM feature for spam, harassment or warez talk.

Signatures/Avatars
* Signatures cannot contaim more than 5 lines of text, and only 2 lines of text if they contain a picture.
* Only one image can be present in a signature. Maximum limit for file size is 30 kb and for dimensions is 450x100 pixels.
* Avatars are limited to 30 kb file size and 100x100 pixels.
* No annoying, inapropriate or offensive content or context
* No advertising of sites similar to or competing with Abandonia
Any signatures or avatars in violation of these rules can be removed without prior notice.
