How Suspensions will work this weekend

[AB Editor]

Afternoon all,

I've noticed the nastiness has crept back into ChatterBank.

I'd prefer it if we kept it to medium strength banter and level 4 "cut & thrust" please. Exceeding these limitations (or breaking the rules) will have you suspended.

While usually a suspension lasts a few days, typically a weekend, we're applying a new rule for this weekend, which, if it works, may remain for the long term.

Suspensions which take place this weekend will be reviewed on Monday by the editorial team. Suspensions, at this point, may be lifted. Those which are not (i.e. the suspensions are completely vaild, as most of them will be) with continue until the following monday.

At that point the suspension will be lifted - unless the user has returned with a new/other username or caused trouble in other ways (for example, sending a snarky email to us). If a suspended user causes trouble suspension will roll on for another week - or a ban will be put in place and the user will be bannished to the Swamp Of Unpleasent Odours.

Okay, you have been warned! Enjoy your weekend!

//Swamp of Unpleasant Odours// = Bog of Eternal Stench?

(Labyrinth reference for those who've never seen it)

[ummmm]

I have a badge and a gold star...

[redcrx]

what happens if youre suspended on a tuesday?

[ummmm]

Is this just weekend rules as there tends to be more alcohol flowing?

[AB Editor]

Ha! Been a while since I geeked out with a D8 (was it a eight sided one?)

Daffy, it's next to the Bog of Eternal Stench, round the corner from the Fenland of Amusing Sounding Mud Farts.

Also, music please: http://www.theanswerb.../Question1006512.html

Awww Trimeresurus, I used to love holidaying in Wales when I was a kid.

We're testing this out Umm. May be maintained during weekday shifts as well.

As always Trim 'tis the weekend Ed moderating the moderators.

And speaking of drinking, it is best to do so, in moderation.

can you just clarify that any reference by me to garth will not incur any sanctions but that any nasty comment about garth or indeed slight negative vibe about him will result in them experiencing the three terrors of the Fire Swamp? (individually not consecutively)

[mccfluff]

garth is rubbish

[dotty.]

it's not the weekend yet numpty

[AB Editor]

Yep, exactly.

And I'll be drinking.

[ummmm]

That's the thing Red...

Looks like when you're being goaded over various threads it might be best to report them even if they appear innocent. With a little explanation....so if you do bite back Ed can see the reports and might understand why.

I do drink very moderately.....It gives me heartburn :-((

If someone is accused of being 2 people will they (and their other 'persona') be suspended? ;)
