Why is saying the owner that there is a typo "Off-Topic" ?

Anatoly · 2016-07-19 18:23:31

I have said the owner that there is a typo in the title, and got banned for Off Topic by Zoey.

But! A Guy said TOOP about a typo in the spring contest typo, and where is his ban? Nowhere.

P. S. Saying "Life is unfair" will be already offtopic in here!!!

We don't hand out bans, we hand out warnings. The forums take over after that. He was a first time offender, you are not. Being off-topic is only a 2 point warning, if you've never had a warning before you wouldn't receive a ban for it.

you didn't answer furball's question fully

furball's asking why correcting a typo in the title is considered "off-topic"

The idea is that "lool you have a typo in your title" doesn't contribute to the discussion and so it's off-topic.

does that mean that forums automatically ban you when you get enough warning points

no

every day, the mods spend hours scrolling through the user list checking for anyone over 3 warning points

then, they painfully click the "ban" button, type in a desired time for the ban, and send that user away on ban vacation

sometimes it takes hours, maybe even days to finish the user list
and remember, the mods have to do this every single day

why not just hand out a ban whenever youre handing out a warning if you see that user has lots of warning points
i thought you were sarcastic but these woots

Let's go back on Topic, if i say that in the post is a typo, is that off topic? I clearly say something to the topic.

Locking because I don't know what to do.
