Is it just me, or are the forums getting stricter every day?

I got a warning for pretending that Paddle edited my post.  hmm
Also, I did that a few months ago and nothing happened. Double  hmm

Does it seem this way to you?

It depends on where you did it probably.

Remember that thread where everyone was pretending that a mod edited it? So many fails there.  smile

Re: Is it just me, or are the forums getting stricter every day?

I'm glad you brought this up!  We have changed our standards a bit to try and ensure that the forums remain orderly, respectful and helpful without taking inordinate amounts of moderator time. 

Before you post to a topic, it might be helpful if you ask yourself these questions:

1. Is the information I am supplying with this post helpful to the thread topic?

2. Is it helping to keep the forums orderly?

3. Is it respectful?

If your post doesn't meet those criteria, maybe you need to rethink what you are posting. 

When you fake a quote by a moderator, you are disrespecting the moderator and making the forums less orderly so you are lacking in two of the criteria.  I hope that helps explain what you are seeing  smile

Slightly, we've got onto Mod powers, so yeah, back on topic, if possible.

Re: Is it just me, or are the forums getting stricter every day?

Yep, it's true - the forums have gotten stricter. Seems like the tone was getting disrespectful at times, so we've become quicker to warn and block Scratchers who post disrespectful stuff - especially in Miscellaneous, because topics there aren't always related to Scratch (and the forums, after all, are here to support the Scratch community).

Re: Is it just me, or are the forums getting stricter every day?

And I got banned for "inappropriate posting on the forums" (or something like that) when nobody said anything about my posts being inappropriate.

FMT, do you know what you did?

No, because your not part of the dev team and you were abusing you powers.

You're flaming now. I was not abusing my powers, You was abusing your powers.
Now, I am never going on it again.
