Ok, I see a lot of people either getting banned,breaking the rules,or getting warning's. So, I've devised a thread where I explain, "how did I get banned?" (If there is already a thread like this, then lock mine)

Spam:
Spam is the worst thing you can do. Some examples are, "That's a good idea" or, "Hi, I'm a new member!". To prevent this, only post things that are RELEVANT to the thread you're posting in.

Flame Wars:
This is a war of spam. Like, "Stop that" and, "Don't get on my bad side." To prevent this, henever a flame war has started, and you or someone else is involved in it, don't continue it. Just STAY out of it.

Mini-Modding:
This is whenever someone does something bad, and you say somthing like, "I'm reporting you," or, "You're going to get banned 0_o." To prevant this, whenever you see someone do omething bad, just hit the report button. A mod will give the person what they deserve.

Advertsing:
This is when you advertise a website. Examples are, "Go to -------" or. "Check out -------" This is also considered spam, I beleive. to prevant this, just PM the person the link. Inappropriate website's should NOT be pm'ed to someone.

Abuse/swearing
This one is the WORST. Its when you call someone a bad word/name. Examples are, "Shut up, you -------" or, "Lol. You're a ------" to prevant this, DON'T call ANYBODY a bad word/name. This goes for real life too.

Q/A about getting banned:

Q: What can I do when I'm banned?
A: It depend's on how long you got banned. You CAN'T post, or review thread's, I beleive.

Q: Why did I get banned?
A: Well, you probably repeated an offence numerous times. Like, you Mini-Modded one too many, or you swore 3-4 times.

Q: My friend got banned! I want him back... what can I do?
A: Well, your friend isn't that much of a friend, for banning themselves! But, you would have to ask a mod. They proabably wouldn't bring them back, just because you miss them. They need to learn a lesson!

Q: Can I get banned if eye type leik thiz?
A: No, but you shouldn't type like that. Its important to think of pokebeach as a test. Each post is an answer, and you have to have PERFECT selling,grammer, and advice. I learned this late in life, and now, I beleive that pokebeach is helping me and other's with our motor skills.

Q: Why did a mod send me a warning via pm?
A: You probably repeated an offence numerous times. This doesn't mean you're banned, but the moderator's will be watching you VERY closely.

Q: Can I say something bad to a person via pm?
A: Yes, but its not a good idea. Why on EARTH would you want to do something like that? The person might pm a mod, and tell them what you did. Try tobe nice to EVERYONE.

Q: Can I get banned by calling someone a N00b?
A:No. But, its not nice.





I hope this helped! Mods: You MIGHT wanna stickey this... Please post anything else I forgot!
 
RE: How did I get banned? The "don't do this" guide thread!

Um, there is already a thread like this, the newbie guide Senor Noobnerd wrote.
 
RE: How did I get banned? The "don't do this" guide thread!

No, Senor Nobnerd's thread only talks about how newbie's post, and stuff. He DOES talk about this, but not as "in-depth" as me... I guess...
 
RE: How did I get banned? The "don't do this" guide thread!

These are basic forum rules that most people follow anyways. This is good and it will be helpful to the n00bs who wont be bothered to actually read the forum rules (name 1 n00b that did :/) Otherwise, this is a good guide. Im not sure whether to nominate for the sticky though.
 
RE: How did I get banned? The "don't do this" guide thread!

Well, I read the forum rules when I was a n00b :D. Thanks. I hope n00bs AND noobs find this helpful.
 
RE: How did I get banned? The "don't do this" guide thread!

When I first joined pokebeach I read all the rules to. But Sam is probably right in that n00bs generally avoid reading the rules. This is a good guide but it is pretty similar to senor noobnerd's guide.
 
RE: How did I get banned? The "don't do this" guide thread!

You think its simmiliar? Noobnerd talks about how to navigate through the forums... I just don't want to see another one of my friend's get banned...

Well, as ash afore mentioned:

He does go a bit more in-depth about the banning and what not. Its more similar to the Forum Rules than SNN's guide.

Nevertheless good.
 
RE: How did I get banned? The "don't do this" guide thread!

Thanks... I just want some n00b feedback :F
 
This thread is not needed. There was already a newbie guide and Noobnerd has just made a second, easier to read version of it.

->Locked<-
 
Hmm...

We haven't really confirmed our banning/warning system yet. As you can see, I quickly made a post after my newbie guide content of a bump. It's actually going to be reserved for a section regarding warnings and bans.

By the way, all you basically did was copied from my old newbie guide. :p
