Hey guys, I'm finally back from my huge ban.

the main reason I think I got banned is because I revived old topics that were no longer relevant, but the thing is, unless you're looking for people to ban or some kind of forum cop, who really looks at the date of posts? I've honeslty never really cared about the date it was posted, all I read is the actual post and what the person said.

Maybe the administration could you know, lock all the topics that are considered dead so people like me don't accidentally set off a new rule and get banned for it?

Just saying.

SOOOO TRUE. Gozitan and Fitzy, no offense, and I know how much you hate criticism, but why are you guys so power happy? It's like you guys find the smallest chances to ban and lock things. He's just reviving old topics that he never got a chance to comment on, I don't understand what's so wrong. Isn't it actually beneficial? He's bringing activity back to the forums, but you guys are finding chances to ban. Just saying..

yh infact, we gotta lock all topics that r all at least a month old so that careless ppl dont get banned

And i get involved without actually banning anyone :L Fitzy you can do the explaining this time :3

Aw, poor you, I can only imagine how horrible it is to get brought into something you havent even taken part in...

Why not do this they got something called "forum pruneing" set it to any new posts that are XX old will go to trash in this case a locked forum

Note: replace XX with date

See? THAT'S smart.
1. It automatically prevents your whole problem with grave digging by deleting the old posts instead of leaving them there so someone can comment
2. It prevents banning
Why not do something smart like that, instead of making some new rule about how you can't post on a topic blah blah blah and infraction pints blah blah blah. I don't think you guys realize all these new rules are gonna reduce activity..

IKR ^
I would give jedi a thousand points for that

It's annoying when you reply on threads that are outdated.

Yes so use what we call the prune tactic need help with it here is how you set it up:

Admin Panel => General => Categories & Forums
Then, click on the name of the forum where you want to activate the autopruning or click the according edit-icon .

If it's not already done, click on the + icon next to "Auto-pruning"

Fitzy, you are to hard. Ok, ban your staff and you self if you and staff replay to old topic! Don't protect them because they must self feel the ban! So, be fair for all members in the clan. But asdfg123789 ban for it find I not ok and not fair! Better make new section on where you all old put in and your staff (Goz, Run and etc) should in it have no privellegs, too! So, you can self prevent for that nobody get ban of it!

awww, no coment.

Ha! I love it when Kaiserschmarrn posts! It's always such a great read! It's honestly one of the main reason I check the site out so frequently! After he posts, it's as if most of us have no idea what to do now! There's an awkward atmosphere and then the topic either dies out, our our Staff tries to come up with some sort of reply! It's like epicjediman, but actually funny!(No offence ) Keep it up Emperor!

Lmao

This guy ^

GN admins say grave digging is annoying? Okay, so isn't it more annoying that we have to not only have to worry about those gay 'infraction points' so we don't get banned, but we don't even know what you consider as "old?" How are we gonna know what you consider old? You never told us, but you'll ban us any chance you get because you're so power happy. If you're gonna do something as retarded as 'grave digging' at least set rules for it instead of bringing it up out of nowhere while no one knows anything about it. For everyone who agrees this grave digging sh*t makes no sense, lets ALL gravedig. Just post on topics that are extremely old. They can't ban all of us, because they'll be reducing activity which is the opposite of what they're trying to do. Then they'll realize this is completely idiotic.
