July 13, 2020: Soren has a warning for personal attacks in the thread where Gaki-Shonen is asking for help after infecting his computer with a virus. Even if the original poster's mistake was avoidable, that doesn't grant a license to just toss down personal attacks.

Moderation:
Deathstar has been issued a warning for character assassination against Marina7, who is also a member here. Whether or not there is some validity to Deathstar's claims, using hyperbolic language in an attempt to make Marina look worse would qualify here. In the thread, I made clear to note that this warning is due more to the fact that this isn't Deathstar's first time doing this; had it been, I would have issued a caution and asked her to ease off a bit.

August 19, 2020: Ogomez92 has received a warning for essentially spitting in the face of our anti-piracy rules.
Look, folks, if it's been said once, it's been said a hundred times. If you know where to get audio described content and you want to do it yourself, go for it. If you want to tell others how to do it, do it privately. If you try to dance past filters or detection by making sly reference to where audio description is available illegally, you will be prosecuted under rule 3.

September 8, 2020: Soren and Meatbag each have a warning for excessive off-topic posting in the Cloudflare topic in Site and Forum Feedback. As explained in my post, some off-topic posting is bound to happen, but this clearly took an irrelevant issue and made it a full-blown argument in a thread which was dealing with a potentially important issue.
Because this is Soren's third warning in the space of 90 days, he is receiving a 90-day ban, pursuant to the discipline protocol.

September 8, 2020: Brad has received a 90-day ban pursuant to his multiple "I'm leaving" threads. This ban was invoked using the community failure clause.

It's absolutely okay to leave the site, or to return after leaving. People may have a change of heart or may feel that they're better equipped to handle the forum after an absence. We're not interested in punishing people for leaving, or even for stating their desire to leave. However, the more you do this, the more harshly we will view it, and three times in under a year is simply too much.

September 29, 2020: Deucalion has been discovered as an alternate of the banned account Talpaiute, and has received a six-month ban. Talpaiute's ban has been upgraded from three months to six months as well. Should this user be discovered creating any new accounts before their ban expires, they will be banned permanently.

We approached this user a couple of weeks ago, on suspicion of alternate account abuse, and were told that the accusation was untrue, and that any similarity was coincidental. Unfortunately, Deucalion ceased using their VPN, which quickly let us realize that the location of both users was virtually identical. When you add in a similarity of writing style, similarity of post content, Deucalion being created the day after Talpaiute was banned, and Deucalion claiming he let Talpaiute "borrow his account" - which is against the rules as well, by the way - it's a slam dunk.

Pro-tip, for those of you who find yourselves on the wrong end of an admin investigation. Don't lie, because it will go worse for you if you do. There may be trouble if you tell the truth, but we do take a willingness to own up to a bad choice seriously, and may consider greater clemency in such circumstances. If you lie, however, you prove that you can't be trusted. Just follow the rules, and when caught, have the decency to admit it, please.
