Infraction System improvements

So basically the tour threads have descended into unreadable rubbish as a result of idiots who are capable of nothing more than nationalistic dick waving as a posting style. This is affecting the forum atmosphere, which although an infractable offence is pretty vague and needs clarifying.

Therefore, in order to provide this clarity, I propose that 'nationalistic dick waving' becomes an infractable offence, starting immediately. As we're a family friendly forum, I don't think dick-waving of any sort should be tolerated, so the offence could carry 8 points so that repeat offenders are quickly banned.

Whilst I'm on the subject of dicks, seriously, get the cockblocking feature.

The cockblocking feature would certainly be a great addition.

So Furball suggests that dick-waving could be prevented by cockblocking. ITSTL.

Suggestions like this would probably be taken more seriously if people could manage to say "nationalistic warmongering" and "removing users from specific threads", but I do agree in principle. The latter isn't going to happen though as it'd require a vBulletin add-on.

why all the sooking. there's a crappy posts from a few in this vein but too tar the whole thread with that brush, repeatedly, and have posters publicly retire and call the whole thing turd, well it's as bad for atmosphere is the other frankly.

yeah I'm still new here but some longer members with one post all day which is "this sucks" "awta" is pretty useless posting in itself.

2 reasons:

1. Tour threads here used to be awesome. They're less so now.
2. The trolling was a lot more fun when I was responsible for it.

this sucks,

nah seriously it's been pretty ****e today, but TBH people should stop whining, the forum is what you make it, things move on, and other such trite nonsense.

If you and your cabal are not at the centre of the bull****, you think it's rubbish, if you are you think it's witty and pretty and bright.

'tway of the internet, I'm afraid.

Not sure if I am to blame or not, purposefully stayed out as much as possible today after my crap posting in 1st test. Just made a couple of comments about the side we picked and have basically left it.

If my poorly made observations (jumping the gun) on day 1 of the series have meant the whole thread is now bobbins I apologise.

Yeah. No doubt you posted some crap on Day 1 (and cheers for recognising that too; takes a big man) but this isn't a carry on from that or anything related at all really.
