Ichabod

Let user: Kroganwithoneeye know that extensive oration about one's sexual abilities/proclivities won't be accepted on this board. Not a warning, just advice at this point.

#CDN Chatlog[2013-01-23 17:12:28] <DissMech> Get out of my face. What the fuck do you care what I think anyway? Why does this matter so much to you that you feel the need to bitch at me about it?

[17:12:53] <Causality> NEXT ONE TO BE A JACKASS GETS KICKBANNED.

[17:12:55] <AphinRim> ...

[17:12:56] <Abad> You're "posthumously" attacking someone I used to rp with when you don't have a clue. That's what it is to me.

[17:13:09] <Causality> Do NOT continue this conversation.

[17:13:10] =-= AphinRim is now known as Ichabod

[17:13:22] <Ichabod> Drop it.

[17:13:45] <Causality> Take a deep breath and move away from the keyboard, because the next time you bitch at one another you get thrown out for a week.

[17:13:47] <Causality> AT LEAST.

[17:13:51] <Ichabod> Dissmech, one more time we have to come in here and do this, you're gone from chat.

[17:14:03] <Ichabod> No discussion.

[17:14:12] <Ichabod> Also, what Causality said.

[17:14:40] <Causality> Do you understand?

[17:14:56] <DissMech> Got it.

[17:14:59] <Causality> Good.

#CDN Chatlog [18:34] Starr But fine. People play their characters how they want. Not going to tell people how to do so.

[18:34] Aphin Starr, as we constantly say to people, if you want to improve the site, start by posting something you want to talk about.

[18:34] ESpiza Be the change you want to see in the forum.

[18:34] Aphin I started with Voice of Omega Radio. Nobody takes that seriously. Everybody likes it.

[18:35] Starr Sorry Aphin, but it's moved far beyond the point where I have any desire to post on CDN.

[18:35] Aphin Then stop bitching about things on here.

[18:35] ESpiza Then stop bitching at people who do.

[18:35] Aphin Because it is seriously pissing me off.

[18:35] Aphin If you don't want to be part of the community, you don't get to comment onit.

(Bold mine.)

Given Starr’s repeated warnings for immaturity, passive aggression, inability to distinguish out-of-character from in-character comments, and repeatedly insulting other players despite a declared disinterest with the forums, the Moderator Team agrees to give her the severance she so desperately seeks. Instead of simply handing over another ineffective warning, we hereby permanently ban her from the forum, as well as from the channel #CDN.

On a somewhat related note, Users FourEyesForTheWin and Telos are hereby warned for bullying another member of the forum.

Do not attack a player for presenting a strong argument without making things up on the spot. Make a better argument instead.

Mod action - 2013-07-25

There have been complaints about the sexual nature of several threads going on. The specific users have been warned in their relevant threads.

While the boards have a PG-13 rating, and some sexual content is expected, serious or joking, sex is not nor should not be the focus of the threads. We are not going to ban characters who have distinctly sexual personalities, but we do expect them to widen their scope beyond that one topic. Keep things tasteful, we don't need to know how sci-fi fetish gear works. And when in doubt fade to black, sooner rather than later.

This issue has come up in the past, and we want to keep it from resurfacing again and again. There has been a very good post on the matter, and we recommend that everyone read it.

Remember that the board rules clearly state that the board should maintain a PG-13 rating. While we accept the occasional slip-up, we are not going to allow the overall rating of threads to devolve.

Thank you.

Phoenix
Moderator Action, Aug 22, 2013

Character Flesh Vats has been banned for a week, pending review, and the player warned that vile atrocities and graphic detail can go far beyond the point of good taste. The thread in question has been locked and hidden for purposes of keeping the board at a semi-family friendly rating, and the mods will be discussing the extension of policies surrounding certain character concepts in the interest of avoiding this in the future.

Other players, particularly those in the IRC, are asked that when encountering such threads and topics in the future, if they feel they cannot act without getting immediately hostile, to avoid engaging the issue and talk to a moderator as soon as one is available. Personal attacks on another player, regardless of what that player has done, will not be tolerated. There are high roads. Please use them.

Moderator Action for September 15, 2013: Chris Hansen Rides Again

Removed an ASCII version of Pedobear from Lieutenant Laelius' post, and reminded him of CDN's policies toward 21st Century pop culture.

As this is a first offense, no official warning has been given; we simply ask that Lieutenant Laelius keep this in mind in the future.

Moderator Action for December 15, 2013: Carol of the Smells

Player Stardust has been asked to review Rule #9, and to remember that some coincidences are too contrived to work. In return, the general CDN community is reminded that piling on someone for a minor rule break on a play-by-post forum is akin to researchers stabbing each other over the MLA vs. APA Debate.

Player GoneRampant has been asked to avoid making direct references to 21st-Century games.

Action for 12-12-13: Deus Ex Monitio

User Isadore was asked to remove the Sarif Industries logo from his blurb spot and background, and is reminded that this is the Mass Effect universe, not Deus Ex, and the mods would greatly appreciate if he could get himself better acquainted with the proper canon and the rules we have set here.

Moderator Action for January 15, 2012: Please Do Not Kiss the Septic Tank

Player Reem Shikkzy has been asked to review his character's Many Accolades, as they fly a little far for belief (and certainly further than Rule #3 of the forums allows).

Causality [CLASSIFIED]
Moderator Action for January 16, 2014: Last Call

Reem Shikkzy has been warned as of his Rule #8 infraction that further rulebreaking, conscious or not, will result in at least a day's suspension from the forums. He has been encouraged to check out the IRC chat, where our players will (hopefully) steer him towards the Path of Light.

Moderator Action for January 17, 2014: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Dyson Construct

Moderator action for January 16, 2014: On Mental Illness

Pursuant to the quoted post, User Reem Shikkzy is hereby suspended from the forum for 24 hours for violating Rules #7 and #8 of the Cerberus Daily News Rules and Guidelines.

At this point, I am obligated to reiterate the following:

Causality[T]he Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) no longer recognizes Asperger's Syndrome as a subcategory of autism, but folds it into Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Further, claims of the disease's diagnosis are not acceptable grounds for violating forum rules, as we can neither verify the veracity of these claims nor maintain the constant board presence required to accommodate the issue. As a forum, we must rely on the good faith that the afflicted member will either police themselves or, in the absence of capacity to do so, to allow a friend to do so for them. Thus, if you cannot police yourself, please have a friend do so in your place once you return to the forum.

Thank you.

User HereToHelp has been warned that rule 5 does extend to RP threads, and one cannot simply turn Cartagena into the Citadel Noir overnight.
