Foraeli, recently the following post was brought to our attention: ExtremeTech thinks Vita's tiny little screen beats Microsoft's Smartglass. lol Which breaks the following rule: 1.2 Do not incite or work to cause disruption and drama. (No trolling) :: For the sake of mature discussions, do not post controversial statements or opinions with the intent to upset or rile up other members.Be mindful and considerate and don't instigate arguments. The article didn't say anything of the kind. If you have a controversial point to make then please bring links, references or at least sound reason to back it up else it comes off as a troll comment crafted to elicit a reaction. This isn't the first time that such comments have been brought to our attention either--your innitial warning was for making troll statements with no evidence to back them up. Other times you have passed off rumors as fact and it's just not a healthy practice--especially when everyone here is too up-to-date with gaming to be suckered into uninformed statements/troll comments. It sticks out like a sore toe when you post comments with no validity and people see that you're just sowing contention instead of trying to promote healthy discussion. Ideally, a better atmosphere should be achieved through the willing cooperation of the community to respect one another and to try and enjoy the common ground of gaming that we share. For those who aren't interested in willing cooperation, we have a great 5 step program in place. It's designed to offer members time to ponder on the fact that trolling just reflects really poorly back on the troll and achieves very little else here. Because you are already on 30 days probation, you are being issued with an automatic temp ban: Stage 2: 7 day ban + 30 day probation Please note that when you return, you will be on probation another 30 days and any further broken rules like this will result in another automatic temp ban of increased duration. You can see the rules and disciplinary measures here.
