As a preemptive step Short-Media has created a new user profile. When any member is found to be abusing the forum posting rules they may have their profile changed without warning. More often than not...that person is well aware as they will have received private or public messages from staff advising or warning them of their allegedly unsuitable posts.

This is a "cool down" step as we would like the member to consider his or her actions and then, ultimately, return back to full privelages and being a positve contributor to Short-Media.

This will only be a temporary inconvenience for those that feel they must push the envelope of the forum posting rules. If they choose to continue after the temporary restrictions have been lifted then they face further action. If they choose to return to being a positive member of Short-Media then all is well.

All of us here at Short-Media value our members and their positive contributions.

    I'm all for keeping the abuse down, but what do you mean by a "new user profile"?

    A different user group, wherein some abilities (like accessing the Pub) will be revoked.

    This is firm but fair. Push your luck too much and you get hit with the lockdown for a short time. Long enough for most people to calm down and think before they type.

    I mean arguments between 2 people?

    Tek: They are referring to the persistant and childish posting of a few of our younger members. Basically, an immature group of people keeps posting mocking personal attacks against another young member. They have been warned several times not to use our forums to carry out their lameness, but they insist that we are nazis by enforcing our policies of "no personal attacks". Don't worry, you're not in any violation of any policies :)

    You call us nazis but you seem to come back here quite a lot. You antagonize members then cry when you can't act like a tool. You're 20 years old and you derive pleasure from picking on a 14 year old. winnar!
