I'd like to bring your attention to an issue that is slowly rising up to consume these forums: the (dis)respect of forum rules and the need to define how warning points should be handed out.
Every day i see users breaking forum rules under the eyes of moderators who don't seem to do anything about minor (although repetitive) offenses. But how can we classify these offense as "minor" if nothing is stated on the forum rule thread?
For reference: http://forum.cubers.net/thread-1300.html
As i see it, all rules are presented as having the same level of "importance". They're all rules. There is no rule that ranks other rules (and, by association, the severeness of the punishment that comes with disrespecting them).
In my eyes, the Forum Rules thread should be reorganized stating which rules are essential. Also, info concerning warning points should be included, instead of it being a free-will business by the mods. For example, single offenders of rules 3 or 9 don't deserve warning points, while someone that expressively insults a certain race should receive some.
There was a mass response by the forum users against censorship in these forums last year. However, the current situation is the opposite. IMO a little more activity on those message-editing, thread-closing, point-distributing fingers would improve our community experience.
I'd love some feedback.
