I think GM was referring to 3 games played with no incidents and the previous bans expire - that's how I read it anyway. It forces them to shape up if they want to play, and allows their good behavior to reduce bans they might receive as a result of a relapse or whatever. Edit: Yeah, ninjas abound. | ||

Three was a hypothetical number, it could be five, or seven depending on what we decide. 10 is a good round number. Inactivity kills games, punishments should be severe. | ||

You'd probably get a slap on the wrist from me in the form of a warning, and me telling you to please respect the host's wishes in the future. Something around the lines of This is a Warning! Come on, you know better than to post like that... If the host tell you to cut it out, then please listen to him, if you want to complain about how the game was run, do so respectfully. If a host refuses to listen or says something like "never criticize me or I'll lobby to get you banned!" then PM me, but a host's thread is pretty much sacred ground. Thanks in advance for your cooperation GMarshal Of course if it happened again, then it would probably be banworthy. On February 16 2012 10:49 redFF wrote: 10 is a good round number. Inactivity kills games, punishments should be severe. 10 is probably way too high, most people who are "vets" here haven't played more than say 20, 3-5 is more the range I was thinking of. | ||

Three was a hypothetical number, it could be five, or seven depending on what we decide. This sounds reasonable to me.

In the instance of someone being active in another game of mafia at the time, what would the policy be? Would the ban be stayed to the end of the game? If so I think it would be great. | ||

Depends on how long you've been in tl mafia, I've you've been here for 15 games and have shown generally good behavior, but one day you flip out, then I'd take that into account, if you are a PBU, with 17 bans/warnings for flaming and balance whining and this is your second game, then yes, that will weigh against you.

If you get bans for behavior in a game, I intend to enforce it with TL wide bans, this is still part of TL, although some standards may be relaxed in game (e.g. image macros), some things, like say flaming the host during the game repeatedly, can still get you tl bans. | ||

Some hosts are more lenient than others when it comes to behaviour, so I'm wondering if you'd be interrupting game flow, or if this would only be after the host has decided to modkill someone. | ||

I think calling someone an idiot and cursing is perfectly acceptable. | ||

To clarify, are you saying you'll apply TL standards to all posts at your own discrection, or that if someone's modkilled for behaviour, you'll also temp them? Some hosts are more lenient than others when it comes to behaviour, so I'm wondering if you'd be interrupting game flow, or if this would only be after the host has decided to modkill someone. I thought the idea was that if a host modkills someone for bad behavior, or there's some serious badness happening there would be a TL temp ban. For inactivity and stuff it would just be a mafia ban, and of course there is a certain amount of trash-talk in game that you wouldn't see say in Sc2 General?

I've definitely called people morons in the context of a game, and I have also cursed, and in what I consider an acceptable fashion. | ||

Like all bans this would be post game. E.G. say Ver is hosting Pants on Head Mafia!, and he had to modkill Qatol for repeatedly calling flamewheel a "qtp2e" after being asked to stop four times, he then posts in the ban list "Qatol did ____! and I had to modkill him for it", then I look into it and see if it merits a tl ban or just a temporary ban from TL Mafia, depending on how clear cut it is, we put it up for general discussion. | ||

I don't like the GMarshal As Supreme Benign Overlord plan because I don't think he's representative of the entire population of this sub forum at all. He is definitely material for any smaller committee. I think forum wide bans for anything done in a game of mafia is absolutely unnecessary and a very bad idea. Modkill them and then if they still act up when they've been modkilled, then swing the hammer. Getting 2 days forum wide for calling somebody a moron is ludicrous, and I've been called moron my fair share of times. | ||

Go try it in sc2 strategy and see if you get away with it :-P Bans would be for over the top stuff or when someone does it repeatedly after being asked to stop. I don't mind being called stupid repeatedly, but it drives newbies away, and its unacceptable on the rest of tl, so if a host feels the need to enforce rules against it in his game, and a player refuses to listen, I have no issue banning. | ||

Horrible horrible idea. If Qatol does something Ver finds unacceptable then Ver should just modkill him. If Qatol continues being a nuisance after having been modkilled then swing dat hammer, but in-game stuff should stay on this sub forum. | ||
