NEW RULE! (04.04.2014)

[Ryon]

This has been discussed amongst a few mods and myself. (I'm sure Phantom will agree, Sorry for not waiting for your input)

 

Effective Immediately.

 

NO ONE (REGARDLESS OF RANK), IS ALLOWED TO BASH OTHER MUGEN OR GAMING FORUMS.

 

If you do not like Mugen Guild, do not bitch and moan that you don't like them because there full of whatever, You can not blame the entire forum for the action of 1 or more people. If the board has over 1000 members.

 

I used Mugen Guild as a example because they are the latest talk of the town, But this extends to all other forums. Infinity, Infantry, Club Syn, MMV, CVG, etc, etc.

 

The actions for bashing have not yet been decided.

But for now I will allow all moderators to use the "warn" system on members when bashing.

 

After 10 warnings your automatically banned.

 

If you would like to report a moderator for bashing contact me and I will add there points on.

 

Member, Moderators, Admin No One Is Safe.

 

Question? Comments? Concerns?

[Ryon]

Post Script.

 

The reason this rule is going into effect, is because lately alot of mugen guild bashing has been going on, and such negative comments like that will only hurt us as a community.

 

We do not want people to view us as a hate oriented group, We are peaceful.

 

The same way your bashing a forum, They could be bashing us because were bashing them.

It starts hate, It starts arguments. We can't have that.

 

We are the community, We have to try to keep it peaceful as possible.

[Toshio Tenma]

I do agree with that rule.

 

Anyway, they could always keep it in private rather than expressing plain hate in public forums.

 

Although, making critizing in a civil manner would still be considered as hate.

Good points 'Boss'

 

People need to understand that this type situation can also Make 'Creators' and 'Arthors' less productive or pretty much likly to quit mugen especaily if they where making something real awesome for everybody to enjoy.

While I can see and understand the reasoning behind this new rule, I'd like to get some clarification on what is considered bashing e.g. stating you like one forum over another or comparing forums with eachother ala I like forum A because forum B does or is known as C which I do not like can be considered bashing?

[Darkflare]

Damn, now I can't mock MMV....

And Infantry has been dead for a long time by now.

[Laharl]

you can mock certain authors just not an entire forum in general. I got this rule put into effect cause of all the guild bashing going on lately. Mock solo people all you want to an extent but do NOT refer to a forum as one entity. That is rude and not tolerated anymore.

[Xan]

The fact that rules like this have to be spelled out is a travesty. Good luck enforcing it.

[Ryon]

Thanks Xan

 

@ WinMugen, for instance if i said

"Fuck mugen guild its just full of pussies!"

 

that would be bashing.... at the minimum lol. but its pretty intense.

 

I do not agree with my above sentence though I do like guild.

[RicePigeon]

MFFA is full of tyrants! :p

I am technically breaking this rule because, as someone who frequently visits MFG, I am bashing "another mugen forum" :p

On a more serious note, however, this is something I would expect from a place like IMT (lol, do they even still exist?) or MMV, not here.

[Laharl]

except we are stopping them from bashing OTHER forums.

[Winmugen11]

I see. Thanks Ryon.

One last thing : if you have bashedother forums before this rule was created, do you get warning points equivalent to the amount of bashing you have done or do you start with a clean slate now so to speak?

[Laharl]

its starts now we cant punish ppl for doing something before a rule against it existed.

[Zemilia]

Whelp, so much for making fun of MMV (and IMT.. only on their template if that counts).

 

But on a serious note, how much guild bashing did you guys see to start out this kind of rule? (I was unaware of any bashing towards guild).

This thread is a prime example of Guild bashing and very likely the one who caused this rule to be brought into existence :

[Zemilia]

I can see a bit in that, but all I'm seeing in there is Borewood making some claims again (Skimmed through it cause I don't really feel like reading it).

[thekillnator]

But what if we bash them in a nice way Like

Mugenguild is full of GOOD people!,

There site is well organized!

[Xan]

That's not bashing.

[Zemilia]

That's not bashing.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

 

@Killnator It's called "being generous". There's a difference.

[LightFlare_Da_Realest]

Nothing wrong with a "friendly" reminder. Of course they bash us to our face. Tbo no matter how much respect we give the good members the elitists will continue NOT to reciprocate it. My time at the Guild has been pleasant for a while now. That's probably cuz I only visit these days. And I hang out here. Just being real. Meh. But I ain't in the business of bashing forums, anyway. I advice my fellow FreeForAllers to continue visiting other sites and get to know other members from other forums...so you can invite them here.

[Ryon]

yes lure everyone into my humble abode.

 

where i welcome them without my bathrobe.

[Kanbei]

All right I can accept this new rule. Better tell my brother...

[Dumanios]

Eh, I can get behind this.

[Legendary DeMoNk@I]

Nothing wrong with the rule to follow. Its common sense. besides it keeps trouble away from the site. Still no site is safe from individual arguments though. if you know youre being a douche bag bashing anyone DO expect at some point the person or persons to retaliate. So control yourself. I understand some of you are very young but bashing in any form isnt good. we all joke but some just take it too far and then wonder why they have enemies at different forums. Respect your forum and owner of the site enough to keep BS away. Now If the drama comes here initially and you didnt do anything wrong to the person or persons then by all means light they ass up....im all for that...

 

Its no secret now that forums can "go to war" shitting up each others threads. If you know it aint cool then dont initiate it or cry when retaliation comes. Im pretty sure the mods here dont dig the headache of all that anyway.
