The Server Ban / Forum Account Deactivated Log:
This 1st post will be updated if a change occurs. There is no need to read beyond it. I only update this top listing when I add and remove members from this list.
This topic is stickied and will always be one of the first topics here. It may lists the names of anyone banned from this forum for breaking the rules. It lists the name of the member, the date of the deactivation, the reason for the deactivation, and the day the deactivation can be lifted.
Deactivated members must contact Hermskii directly and request that their account deactivation be lifted, otherwise, good luck to them and I wish them well as they go on their way! I will clear the list when all listed members on it are either reactivated or deemed to never be coming back based on them never requesting to be reactivated by the date they could have been reactivated. That would explain how the list can be empty at times.

Re: The Server Ban / Forum Account Deactivated Log:
Hook made an expletive remark? proof? Hard to believe Sir. Just wondering.

Re: The Server Ban / Forum Account Deactivated Log:
While I'll go ahead and justify that particular ban to you, please expect me not to going forward. He quoted an expletive that another member had in their post in his post. Here is the quote from the rule itself: (Please note the part that says "quotes")
1. I allow my children to play here sometimes. Please don't "ever" cuss on this Forum or on the {CG} or {MHM} UT Servers. Cussing is strictly forbidden! This includes typing words out that in anyway refer to a cuss word too. The intentional misspelling or manipulation of any cuss word that still most likely best refers to that cuss word is forbidden and will quickly earn you a 30 day Player Ban from this Forum and the {CG} and {MHM} Servers. Naturally, this includes user-names, player names, signatures, quotes and basically anything you post here or on either of the above named UT Servers.

Indeed. I like that you were shocked as you should have been considering HOOK's great persona.

Re: The Server Ban / Forum Account Deactivated Log:
I liked the idea but isn't it a bit sick to ban Hook for quoting someone else's text?

Re: The Server Ban / Forum Account Deactivated Log:
Works like this:
A post happens and there is a cuss word in it. That = 1 cuss word as you read down.
Now someone else quotes it and that is the last post in the topic. As you read the whole topic and count cuss words, you'll count 2 in total.
Both could have been avoided at all costs but weren't so they both take the BAN.
I'm not saying it is fair but I never said it was about being fair. I'm saying follow the rules. I'm also saying this is the best deterrent going forward.

Re: The Server Ban / Forum Account Deactivated Log:
I see where Herm is coming from and I do not think/or feel that he is being unfair. I think he is being very fair, especially when I think this hurts (feeling wise) him some by doing this because these people are friends of Herm. There are some good people on the ban list.
I look up to these people. People just made an error in judgment and now, due to things in the recent past. things just exploded.
People do swear in real life and they do a lot worse in real life but what I see Herm doing is trying to provide a good environment for all people of ages and backgrounds. Just because people do this in real life does not mean it is desired.
If someone made a racial/ethnic slur in a topic or in real life, it would be wrong for me to repeat it as a quote or in real life, for I would be saying the same slur.
I hope things will calm down. I am glad and grateful that the forum is up and running. I am grateful for the wonderful servers associated with this forum. Thank you to all those who make it possible.
My only hope is when the temporary ban is over, that these good people come back and hold no ill will towards anyone and they show what great people they are.

Re: The Server Ban / Forum Account Deactivated Log:
Herm you should just update the cuss word filter then, and then there wouldn't be any issues.

Re: The Server Ban / Forum Account Deactivated Log:
No, people should just follow the rules. David pretty much nailed it on the head too. I already have to block cussing on the servers. Everyone there isn't so aware as they are here of the rules but in the end it doesn't matter to me. I have been clear, am clear and will remain clear about the rules. If you can't type a well thought out post here without cussing, I don't want you here. Period.

Re: The Server Ban / Forum Account Deactivated Log:
There is no need for a filter. All that does is create a reason to "cheat" it.
This is so classic MHM arguing too <@ Hellfy>...Always trying to find a reason to justify the problem instead of helping to seek a solution. Look Herm says no cursing so that means *no* cursing. If you replace "s" with "z" to bypass the filter, you know you are doing wrong. Jeez the guy lets just about anything go and all he wants is this small thing, and you have to argue him that? Life has rules, deal with it.
