::: ALL MEMEBERS READ :::

It seems like we were overdue for another night of chaos.

As many people are aware, a banned member, Bella, has been spamming the U2U system. I've disable new member registration until some anti-flood controls are put into place.

Also, some members are unable to put away their obsession with warnings and insider appreciation. These attributes of your profile still exist, however, only staff can now see them. The features have not been removed since future board improvements rely on these two profile attributes.

I also want to make one thing very clear... singling out a member for harassment that is obviously intended as an irritation but does not involve normally abusive language will now be considered "forum stalking" and will not be tolerated. If you find yourself irritated by a certain member... move on, there is no requirement to pester that person to please your own ego. Incidents of forum stalking will be taken as seriously as incidents of blatant abusive language from this point forward.

That sounded just like Arnie would say it!

"future board improvements rely on these two profile attributes."

What kind of improvements there are comming?
And how the "warnings" and "insider appreciation" relates to it?

If i may ask?

There is a temporary U2U quota imposed until a flood-control system is in-place.

Sounds, super-uper-duper-uber-cool...

(lame coolness word to fill up space)

well i joined before the new board came, but i missed what this insider appreciation is all about, what does it mean anyway??

MEMEBERS?

I appreciate that. Thanks.

Well done william, that really did cheese me off this morning when I was getting spammed, no need for it at all.

HAHA yeah William for Governor!

well, i wasn't having problems, and wasn't aware that anybody else was having any, but i've become more a lurker on this board now, but i just had a suggestion, there should be a stickied thread on the XMB forum, for future updates, let us know ahead of time what new features are in the works and everything, and give us a chance to evaluate them based on what you describe, just a suggestion

I had one U2U...no one loves me...

...I've read all week.

It seems the "Insider points" had a capability of twisting otherwise thoughtful minds into eerie directions of obsession like dim wittedness(sp).

Now only the merits of the writing at hand will be evident without the pretty camoflage of the coveted yellow bar of "glamour" or the instantly reconizable RED badge of irritation that was the WARN...

Just my$.02 worth...

PEACE...

What a wonderful morning, 6 hours of sleep I feel grrrreat.

By the way, if anyone would like to send Mr. Bella your thoughts on his latest efforts to spam and inconvenience your community, he can be reached at:

I'm sure he'll be looking forward to hearing from all of you.

does that mean I can't send u2u's atm?

Everyone has a quota of 99 U2U's until the flood control is in-place.

ah thanks for explaining so I could understand.

William,

Will you remove my warning in view of the fact that it was given to me as a joke?

It'll expire on its own, don't worry... it doesn't effect anything now.
