If you are unable to comply with community standards you will be suspended from the board for a period of two months. If the suspension is violated or if you do not comply with community standards after the period of suspension, then you will be banned.
I would clarify this above, to make it clear that you have to come back and be rude
again
for the next level to kick into effect. Like, say,
If, in the future, you do not comply
with community standards, you will be suspended
from the board for a period of two months. If the
suspension is violated or if upon returning after
the period of suspension you do not comply with
community standards, then you will be banned.
I do think that somebody with a better balance of serious and goof might take a crack at it, but that's my try.
sorry! My bad with formatting.
Nutty, can you insert some linebreaks?
Laura, I think your post is widening my screen ...
edit: no ... looks like Nutty, and looks fixed.
Laura, I like what you said.
I think in official warnings we need to keep the humor out. I know there's a desire to make the warning more...light hearted (?) but there's also a chance humor could take the teeth out of the warning or be misread as being meanspirited.
Yes, Nutty, clarity is best. My intent is to have the standard form ready when needed with just a place for the specific nature of the problem inserted.
Good stuff, Laura and Nutty. I think for an Official Warning, the balance to draw is not between serious and funny, but between serious about the consequences and genuinely hopeful that the person will clean up his or her act.
Stupid question for my clarification: Why are there different profiles for Zoe Ann and Zoe Finch? In my experience, on a board like this, someone with two profiles is either A) In Charge, or B) Up To No Good. Although with them being so similar, it could just be another example of cluelessness.
She reregistered with a different name at some point due to password difficulties, and wanted to stay with her new name.
She forgot her password to the Zoe Finch account, and reregistered as Zoe Ann.
Ah. So, general cluelessness. OK.
