FAQ
In most cases, the staff at the board follows a three-strike system when it comes to punishments. For most minor offenses, an offending user will be warned about his/her conduct through a PM. If they continue to break the rules, they will be banned for 24 hours (possibly more if it was a serious offense, up to 72 hours). If the user continues to cause trouble, they will receive a second warning, possibly followed by another ban which could last anywhere from 72 hours to a week. Finally, if the user is still causing trouble after all these warnings, they will be permanently banned from the board.
Further up in the FAQ
DON'T:
10. Flame, or purposely try to be an ass to people.

Legion was given several chances (both on this board and the old board) extending beyond the 3-strike system (going into 2 permabans, even), and still constantly did it.

Does being a certain user mean you're exempt from the rules? Oh my god, Legion was banned because he was purposely being an ass to people. Unban Legion because he's (kickass/respected/cool/your word of choice).

That smells of favoritism.

The rules say he deserved the ban. I'm not staff, so I can't give a staff-side opinion, but from my (biased) view, Legion deserved this. Any other user probably would've gotten "Yay! He's gone!" unanimously. Legion gets perma'd and half the board flares up in his defense.

I read up on the situation, I understand the circumstances, and I know what has happened before his permaban.

Yes, he has antagonized repeatedly. But many of us have, with impunity, I might add.

Perhaps if the fire was not so heavily fed, then it would not have caused so many flames.

Other people were banned alongside him, but he was the only permanent ban, despite the fact that several of the people who participated in the argument with him have argued before. This is not discrimination, but at the same time, it is, in my opinion, unjust.

I know many people will complain about his ban, as Legion was, and probably still is, a rather important part of the board.

I propose we let the people decide, rather than just the staff. Should Legion remain permabanned?

"Perhaps if the fire was not so heavily fed..."
You forget that at any time during that, he could've simply backed away and left it alone, letting themselves get banned and just staying out of it. Instead, he chose to remain in the battle and get himself banned.

"Other people were banned alongside him, but he was the only permanent ban, despite the fact that several of the people who participated in the argument with him have argued before."
He had argued many, many times. Many of the people banned with him were on their first ban. Legion was on his... what... 6th? At least? If the others had been there, there would've been permabans. Not to mention that Legion had been crossing the line before that happened; the war in the Mosts thread was a cataclyst, so to speak.

"I know many people will complain about his ban, as Legion was... a rather important part of the board"
And many people will agree with it. And how was he such an 'important' part of the board?

"I propose we let the people decide, rather than just the staff."
The staff (hopefully) follow the guidelines set forth by the rules. The rules are just that; the RULES. Break the rules and there's consequences. Just because someone blatantly broke the rules repeatedly and is 'important' does not mean they should get special treatment. Again, favoritism.

A banned user was banned due to breaking the rules repeatedly. People think he kicked ass, ignoring the flames that came out of him. People will flock to his rescue, despite how fair or unfair it might have been.

A banned user was banned due to breaking the rules repeatedly. Few people care, having never really noticed this person. No one ever contests the ban, despite how fair or unfair it might have been.

Compare the above two paragraphs.

While the browse happy button seems useless (non-affiliated, more of a "THE STAFF WANTS YOU TO USE ANOTHER BROWSER" button, which I hate), the changes (<3 blue bigboards button) and the removal (no more sutpid paypal button that requires a stupid secure connection to load a fucking button! yay!) almost make up for it.

You should probably put them underneath eachother.

What would be even cooler is a minibadge like that for the Bigboards one.

No one ever changes the font.

The screenshots are good, with the Mario heads (Koopa shells, for those who don't know)... Other than that, not much.

The font could definitely be improved, it's too small. Look at this, which was developed before that:

That used to be mine.

(and yes, that worked in game. I changed two palette entries.)

Try cleaning out a computer that is so loaded with spyware you can't connect to the internet, that's old and has no other ways to connect to a PC, and... ueah.

I've had to do it. Thank god for Spybot, fits on 3 floppy disks and only took about an hour to clean it

That's odd, I have no iexplore processes right now.

If you're running something like Windows Messenger, that might bring one up, but other than that I doubt it.

(I know for a fact Outlook Express loads Windows Messenger for some strange, strange reason; mabye a ploy to get more people on MSN Messenger?)

---

Just kill both processes; worst happens you might have an explorer restart, but I doubt it's anything major.

"AcmlmBoard X.XX" didn't fit in 85x15.

I'm sure you could scrap the X.XX part.

After all, if you're still updating it, you'd have to do a button change every time you did.

So just nuke the x.xx part and everyone wins. Plus it'll make the blocks stackable. =D

Honestly, you'd get slapped around and given a warning and the JS would be removed from your profile.

Of course, that's what would have happened if you DIDN'T say what you were going to do.

Actually, JS was removed from posting (I tried to add a variable table color to my mouse pointer thread (like with the first one I did, to show it under different colors) but it removed the code most times.

You'd have a hard time getting it to work, though

Short and simple, another bug, another admin-for-30-minutes spree.

It's a lot more fun than a simple 'thanks' from local admin Jesper.

Anyway, the empty fields seem strange, but that's happened too often. The space before it, though... wierd.
