It has been suggested that if the forum ever gets fixed in our lifetimes (yeah, and I am a Chinese Jet Pilot!!! ) that we should go back to straight demotions and guestings rather than issue strikes.

What do you think? Give folks an extra opportunity to do a Hway 3:16 on 'em?

Bear in mind that strikes are for minor offenses, and felonious behavior gets dealt with harshly regardless.

I believe strikes suck. If they do something that bad, demote/ban them. NO STRIKES!

No, what they did was wrong. They get three chances, one strike is basically a warning so whats the point of taking them away? They screwed up, it's their fault.

But, if they have had it for a long while, and prove to be, eh, better, then i guess it's ok.

Keep the strikes for the newer members. Be a bit more harsh on the ones that have been here long enough to know better.

You mean take away the strikes for new members and don't for the older ones who should know the rules?

What about if people make new usernames?

Two strikes instead of three(sucks for some of you guys. Like I care, you probably aren't helping anyone...). They should stay for two months. However, it should be the members job to send a PM, not make a thread, to a mod politely requesting the strikes be wiped. Also, create a thread in the mods forum and post every strike you give out, with a date.

That's my 14 cents and a Canadian penny.

Upon closer inspection, this thread is about wiping current strikes once the forum is fixed; I say no. remove them whenever a mod feels that they can control themselves.

Well, I was under the impression that the strike system was established to punish forumers who break the rules and guest them accordingly.  Seeing as the mods catch a 4th of what really happens here, it seems pointless to keep it.

I say sctrach it.

BTW, remaining strikes would have to run their course, but no more would be issue if the system were dropped ... those with strikes would merely be dealt with much more harshly.

Well, I got my strike for a stupid filter dodge, and yeah, it was stupid.

I don't see why it can't be taken away though, it happened when i was a little nub and i didn't know any better.  So, yes, if the forum get fixed ot whatever, i do think we should wipe the strikes clean.

I have no clue.

Some people think that the are above the forum rules and dont pay any attention to them strikes or not. Then when they reach 3 of them and are guested, They create another name and get the second name immediately guested. Then they create a new name and finally calm down.

I just wish people would have more respect for others and respect the guidelines set by a forum that provides them with a free service.

Yeah.  I've had this one strike for like 4+ months.....  Don't strikes only last for like 2 months?  Hway... I wish I had a title.

How would you punish members if the strike system were gone? Guesting for all minor infractions? Temporary bans? I'm wondering.
