Sarcasm as in fun stuff is ok sarcasm as in making fun of someone is not. LoriR explained in post 3. If you still have questions use the link in post 1 to the Tech board and ask there.


Bears- not sure about that ask one the Tech board.


Registering to spam includes and not limited to someone who registered for the sole intent to spam the boards either with advertisements, posts that are repeatedly posted all over the boards and someone who registered just to send out PMs to members to scam them.

Wow Wow Wow is all I can say. I do believe this is fair. But I say wow maybe because I do not trust my own judgement. But I think I am usually pretty good about not breaking any of the rules. Well I guess I will find out

Now was that staff as in staff at this board. Or does that included VMK staff. Like when someone posts about a VMK staff not being nice to small kids when trading pins. I think because of these posts those staff have learned to be more willing to trade pins of any kind. And not hurting their feelings.

you can still post your feelings about things in vmk but as always you can not attack staff...

examples

Host_XYZ is a real dog and I think she is really a liar and is stupid.

that is an attack and not allowed.

Host_XYZ ran an unfair game tonight she said she would trade any pin for any pin but when I asked to trade for XXX she said no way.

that is allowed.

Sarcastic as in being mean or insulting, not sarcasm as in ! We would all be in trouble otherwise.

That is clipart that has been specially created for the WISH board on DIS. It was recently added in with the smilies. If you scroll all the way down the smilie page you will see it.

What exactly is an infraction?
And can you give an example of sarcasm as in insult and sarcasm as in fun stuff?

Important information everyone should read and understand

If you accumulate an amount of infraction points that triggers a penalty, you MAY NOT use another account while this penalty is in effect. Attempting to get around the system by using an alternate ID will result in a Permanent ban on all accounts.


Quote:
Penalties:
*40 points - Unable to send private messages and cannot have a signature until the points expire
*60 points - 10 day ban
*80 points - 1 month ban
*100 points - Permanent ban

The VMK Moderating Team doesn't want to see this happen to any of our members! Please be sure to remember this if you ever find your account restricted for any period of time.

lori, How will the system know its that person? IP address? if so that makes everyone at that place have a ban.. And also if someone chooses to get a new account but doesnt realise that their old was banned, does it still count against them?

 

[KrazyPete]

I don't understand.

If I collect enough points can I trade them for valuable DISboards.com merchandise? I've had my eye on that travel coffee mug for a while!

They turn into credits that we can spend on lovely VMK furniture.
