New Rules for the Conspiracy Theory Forum:
Over the past several weeks, the Moderation Team has been making an examination of the tenor and behaviors in the CT Forum. What we have discovered is a general tone of disresepct, rudeness, and attacks. Though individual posts do not always rise to the level of infractions, the tone of the sub-forum is poor. In addition, even when infraction are levied, these types of consequences do not seem to curb the behavior that we have observed, Therefore, we are instituting a special rule/consequence set that will apply to an violation, infraction or thread ban, that a member receives in the CT Forum in the hopes that behavior in this sub-forum will improve.
Once you receive your SECOND violation for behavior in the CT Forum, you will be suspended from the CT Forum for ONE WEEK.
Once you receive your FOURTH violation for behavior in the CT Forum, you will be suspended from the CT Forum for ONE MONTH.
Once you receive your SIXTH violation for behavior in the CT Forum, you will be PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM THE CT FORUM.
The violations will expire after a year, so if you have two in one year and then not another one, after that year is out, you will have none. The permanent ban, however, never expires, so if you receive six during one year, your posting privileges in the CT Forum will forever be revoked. Infractions received outside the CT Forum will not be considered in the count.
This new rule set will go into place in one week, in order to give everyone time to read this sticky.
