Indeed, they do understand it.
I closed the thread since the question was answered
I'll delete it now, but if a ToS thing then I would say we should at least give a six month ban. If not longer.
I don't see how is this a defense. The behaviour afterwards doesn't exactly imply the cluelessness at all.
You do know that the reasons for rejection are all different in the speed calculations shown here, right?
Please have mercy on the punishment. I understand and admit what I did was wrong I won't do it again. I'll make more contributions to redeem myself.
Please have mercy
Won't do again I understand what I did I just ask for a lower punishment like a warn.
I won't act trollish again I understand it was my fault and I deserve a punishment but all I ask is to lower it to a warn and If I do anything of the sort again I'll take a Perma ban unless you all have a 3 warn ban rule.
alright
They seem rather naive to me instead of harbouring malicious intentions. Nonetheless, I'm not a big fan of straight-up banning someone simply because they wanted to have fun and do some stupid crap just for lols, feels rather harsh. I'm all in with a warning since TaiwaneseScaler was in a mocking attitude towards Twilight after being told it's not allowed. But if the majority here is leaning towards a ban then I won't heavily contest, just saying we should give them a second chance because they seem to be a genuine contributing member rather than a troll.
I don't lack communication, I notice my mistakes immediately and I won't make the same mistake again.
''The issue revolves around your failure to understand and adhere to the guidelines.''
2 pages before this BasedNecoScaler did the IP thing twice, and had a plethora of other reports against them related to Nasuverse. In the end, his punishment was a permanant topic ban and no actual ban (their permaban was a self-request). Based on this precedence it'd be unfair to ban this user imo.
Yeah, that seems too serious to give a slap on the wrist. Agree with a 6 month month ban.
I'm fine with a warning them to keep things consistent. Though a ban will happen if they repeat the same mistake in my view.
Agreed
I still disagree with banning him from making blog posts in general. His AP calcs are generally uncontroversial iirc.
Who's IP address is being shared? This is rhetorical of course, because those protections tend to be in play in effort to prevent actual doxxing and not trolling attempts. We are not banning somebody for trolling and then apologizing for it. They should be warned and that is it.
Agreed. It could potentially get the owner of the posted public and private IP addresses in serious trouble.
Yes, we cannot allow this kind of behaviour, and this also seems to be a very new member who has not contributed in a constructive manner to our community yet.
I will check if it was another member of this forum, but only reveal if it is another member, not which one.
That IP address was part of a Reddit copypasta which is already publicised, so I wouldn't consider that doxxing. And that IP most likely never existed in the first place. But posting something like that is a strict violation of the Fandom ToS nonetheless, though, I wouldn't be sure for Xenforo.
I'm having a hard time believing whatever trouble this harmless usage of a copypasta is going to cause is any more damage than it being one already.
Okay. I did not know that it was already much more publicly revealed.
Most of the staff here suggested a warning.
