It's not a zero-tolerance policy. It's simply to keep people who are persistent rule breakers in check. If you get warned once, you might realise that what you did was wrong. Do it again and you haven't learned, and you get another notch added. A third time = ban.
The last few years, TDC has been a lunatic asylum, with the inmates running free... so to speak (don't take offence) Everyones used to lax rules, and the system thats being set up now makes it easier for us to keep an eye on things.

Again, it seems like you banned me early to get around the new warnings system. I suggest you make it so that it drops one notch per month or so, so that bans don't just smack you in the face if you manage to do three bad things within six years. And maybe if it's the third notch, you drop it after two months. Permanent bans are just pointless, they just make people complain.

I'd join you but the warning system doesn't apply to me. I just get fun bans.
By zero tolerance i'm referring to the fact that every little indiscretion is acted upon. Be it a warning in a mail or the message deleted. Or in this case another notch on the banometer.
Believe it or not i actually got sent a message warning me to calm down a few weeks ago. I'm always getting messages of Rikus to calm it down, but for petty garbage which isn't even offensive.
Shit, I'm starting to feel left out here.

We have those? Wait... we have rules?
Hey Radix alrighty so here is my point of view of things,
This is a family site, kids of all ages come here, if we catch it we do not allow swearing. We either remove the post or edit out the swear words. Very simple, i'm sorry if you do not agree with this but thats the way it has to be for a site like this. Now we can keep talking over and over about this, but thats what it comes down to. Now if you feel that a post or topic has been deleted/editied unfairly the best thing you can do is to msg us in private, talk to us. So we can agree to disagree but at least you see my point of view of things. This site from the beginning was always a site to be setup for all ages. That's why we dont allow swearing. Again if you disagree about something or you feel something can be improved the best thing is to talk to us in dc mail or msn. We are always very open but please do understand where we are coming from, we are not here to over-police or annoy the regular forum posters.
Thanks for readin man,
Rikus

Rikus: I've already had a long discussion with Flava on MSN, and hopefully he'll be relaying the parts we agreed on. The main issue seems to be consistency.
As for swearing, I think your reasoning is non sequitur, but it's probably a waste of bandwidth discussing it.

I suggest you actually tell people why they've been warned. I've suddenly got a random warning point. If this is the one I requested for my real account then can you unban it?
Hey radix, yea flava let us know about the discussion all good points so i'm sure everything will be worked out just fine, like i said we are not here to make things horrible for you guys. In any event i'll be closing this topic now, we will keep everyone updated on this new feature and currently improvements to the system are being put in place. Thanks guys!
