Ok, I feel dumb, but can someone please define trolling and "challenge post" too?
Personal shots at my intelligence will be accepted in this case
I was going to ask the same things so I'll take 1/2 the shots fired at you.

A challenge post is one where an individual "suggests" that they "meet" to "work it out", or flat out says something along the lines of "if I see you, I'll kick your ***."
Right. But the things is NOT saying anything else but the truth when one has the choise between is shortterm and longterm.Good to know that going off-topic is not an anfraction! I could've been in trouble there.
What, in your mind, is a "snipe hunt?"
Moderators are monitoring the forum always. Some forums are granted a wee bit more leeway by nature of their intent and purpose. However, sniping is not good form and is certainly not worthy of respect nor a sign of dignified, polite exchange.
Were you planning on asking for some edits? :ultracool

That is when you expect something else from something else. If that something else does not meet your expectations, then it has challenged you. - Or if you challenge something, and it accepts your challenge.Ok, I feel dumb, but can someone please define trolling and "challenge post" too?
Conserning me, i have had such an attitude. And i can honestly not preform it.A challenge post is one where an individual "suggests" that they "meet" to "work it out", or flat out says something along the lines of "if I see you, I'll kick your ***."
I am not the social type. So i do not seek attention. Although the way i speek is challenging. ... I do have in common the challenging tone in my speaking, but i should not be classified as the other guys, who also speek challenging.Trolling is loosely defined as "deliberately provoking arguments on newsgroups or bulletin boards, with no other intent than to gain attention for the sake of attention." Basically a web troll is someone who is only here to cause problems. There are extensive discussions on them, their mannerisms and other characteristics floating around. Wiki is one good source. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll
Right. But the things is NOT saying anything else but the truth when one has the choise between is shortterm and longterm.
(The shortterm with orgins in fear of consequences of a rule if disobeyed provides a temporary security. Though not on the longterm.)
To avoid sniping. I dont know who you are talking to.
But if me, then. It is meant to get tighter like this.
When the population increases heavily, the air gets dirty.
Besides. Lets go do some buisness now.

The thing is. I cant really follow this rule outside this forum. If i do then i have transgressed and deserve a polite exchange.
(And it is not me who is sniping, but it is the other guys i reply to. Where i reply by the like of what they give me)
My version.

Only tough things are either this or that. A muslim is not excatly, but the quran is exactly.
Conserning me, i have had such an attitude. And i can honestly not preform it.
But ... i am doing this because of "accepting the challenge" of the others.
And making sure that i prevent the challenge, because it is my doom if it gets executed. (Not to mention it is yours too when it is your forum)

Well ... A new rule.In an attempt to better manage things, we are experimenting with a rules-infraction system. We are often asked "which post" and "why". This system will send you a note indicating which rules and which post are in question. The system also weights each infraction with points.
If you 'earn' 20 points, your account is suspended until the points expire.
If you somehow earn 100 points, your account is banned.
Most points expire after a certain period of time, ranging from a week to a few months.
A sample of the setup is below:
1 point / 3 months: Ignored Moderator Warning - 1st Offense
2 points / 3 months: Ignored Moderator Warning - 2nd Offense
4 points / 3 months: Ignored Moderator Warning - 3rd Offense
1 point / 1 week: Sniping
1 point / 1 week: Insulted Other Member(s)
1 point / 1 week: Rude Post
1 point / 1 week: Profanity Filter Violation
2 points / Never: Trolling
100 Points / Never: Challenge Post
Right now, infractions are only being issued after an issue is discussed among the staff, and only senior staff can issue them.
Any questions on the system, please ask.
I am not sniping.Huh?
The only thing you are doing is making a lot of posts that make no sense, and in fact, make my eyes hurt.The only thing i am doing is basically brining the theory to practical example.
That is true.The only thing you are doing is making a lot of posts that make no sense, and in fact, make my eyes hurt.
Do you mind giving me a link for definition of sniping? (I tried google, but i got information about sniping)Mr. Mustafa,
I don't believe anyone here is sniping you, moreso they are failing to understand you. This thread is for information regarding a new system we are implementing to help us do a better job of moderating this site in the fairest way we can. I for one, can not understand where you are going with this.
He has no command-center (nothing i know about). And is everywhere.:ultracoolif he is truly mustafa, he cannot resist when asked the same question 3x's.
now, what is the location of Dr Evil's secret volcano lair?
Right. ThanksOr, put simply, someone takes a shot at you, report em, let us deal with it, otherwise, you'll take a hit too, sometimes a worst one for upping the heat level.
But the thing is, if you allow me to follow this rule. That will mean i will break the other rules.
I am not saying that.Let me make sure I completely understand your statement.
You are saying that you have no intentions of following all the rules and terms and conditions you agreed to follow when you signed up here?
My thinking capacity is not big.In truth, things are alot simplier than they appear. Think before posting & proofread what you write. These 2 will save you from most worries.
I am not saying that.
I mean that this rule contradicts the other rules you have. And i cannot follow both of them. Meaning you have the choise between keeping the one rule or the other regulations.
Here, none that I know of.My thinking capacity is not big.
Yet, what is the mistake i did?
A good point, but this can be interpreted both ways. (So i dont know what you meant, but i could guess)Here, none that I know of.
Elsewhere, No clue.
