From Kyle:
We have brought in a few new moderators for this forum. They have been instructed to simply just permaban anyone that calls names, flames, or trolls. Those types of behavior are not acceptable here in our forums. It is allowed elsewhere; go do it there, not here.
The new mods will also be moving NVIDIA or ATI specific threads to the proper subforums. We think that this will keep the "two groups" divided a bit more and acting like spoiled children a little less (you know who you are).
Consider this a warning if you in fact need a warning. The rest of you that act like adults need not concern yourself with this, but do be aware that your thread might be moved if it is deemed better off in one of our subforums.
From DougLite:
If you look at the bottom of this forum index, you'll notice the moderators section has changed. The staff and our fearless leader have selected AtomicMoose and myself to be moderators for the video card forum. We have been brought in to help all members that post in this forum, uphold the [thread=760666]Rules[/thread], and ensure that everyone has a good time.
Now is an excellent opportunity to follow the link provided and review the Rules. They may have changed since you registered, or you may have forgotten a thing or two.
Do not hesitate to contact Moose or I with a PM if you have a question. Also, if you see a post that is clearly violation of the Rules or otherwise requires our attention, hit the Triangle with the exclmation point, and we'll be all over it. We may also ask the admins for help with particularly large problems.
Everybody stick to the Rules, keep a good sense of humor, and you will not hear much from us. If you don't, things will not be so pleasant.
We have been brought in with two emphasized goals. The first is that the flaming/name calling is out of control. No flaming/name calling and mutual respect is Rule #1 for a reason. Abiding by that rule is a condition of continued membership, pure and simple. Violations of it will be documented and the users who perpetrate it will be banned, Kyle has made this quite clear.
The second is that we would like to make better use of the ATI Flavor and Nvidia Flavor forums. If you have an ATI or NV specific question, please post it in the appropriate forum.
I and (I'm reasonably sure) Moose are total geeks with nothing better to do than surf the forums all day, so we should be around a little more than past mods. Not like that's a good thing
Now that Moose has posted, I am going to re-open this thread to suggestions on how we can best improve the experience for members here in Video Cards.
I have been a moderator in video cards for two hours, and I have already handed out a permanent ban for flaming. The directive from Kyle is clear, there will be no more flaming, name calling, or disrespect for other members in your posts here.
