I noticed several times before that the users have often mentioned how they would like banner changes and updates, but with the staff activity, we have been a little slow with things.

Now that I'm an admin, I would like to know you opinions on the matter so we can take action to update the banner and have things look nice.

 

I have heard suggestions of a random banner, monthly banner changes, and even weekly banner changes.  The banners, of course, would be created by the users, but added by me.  What I would like to know is how you all would prefer to have the system work.

Would you like there to be weekly/monthly voting or selections on the banner, or would you prefer the month/week to correspond with a recent released WiiU game?

 

Now, we don't have to stick to one or the other, we could give both a try.  I would just like to know your thoughts for now and possibly open up a poll if there is enough discussion about what we can do.

One of the problems with chat bans is that the ACP doesn't offer me a way to set a certain length to a user's chat ban. Therefore, if I only want to set a temporary ban, I'll need to lift it myself. If I ever ask a member to remind me to lift their ban, it's because I have a lot of other stuff to do, so there is a risk of me forgetting about it if they don't let me know.

As for the rules being harsh on first time offenders, the main issue with the chat is that it's hard for us to moderate as there is often no moderator in there. While dealing with rule-breaking on the forum is quite simple, with the chat, the simplest way to deal with any serious offences is to ban the user from using the chat. In addition to this, before users enter the chat, they agree to the rules, so there isn't any excuse for breaking these rules.

The punishments that are given put for conduct in the chat depend on how serious the rule-breaking was. If you simply made one inappropriate comment, you would most likely get a warning. If you repeatedly break rules you would most likely be banned. These bans are sometimes lifted, although from my experience, users who have been banned often break the rules again and end up being banned within a week. Therefore, unless I specify that your ban will be a certain length, it will be probably be permanent.

I hope that's cleared up how we deal with rule-breaking in the chat.

Welcome, I like your signature.

Looks like it went down so they could change the banner

Sorry, but I've seen these sorts of elections before, and they don't really help the forums at all.  It causes unneeded drama and the users are judged on their popularity and not their qualifications.
As of now, we aren't looking for any new mods either.

We could sell a $10 Gift Card from Best Buy. 

Woah, someone is a millionaire. 

I take pics of food so when I've finished eating it, I can cry and remember it, and remind myself how delishious it was

Getting to play some old school games and get ranked against each other on them would just be awesome

Sorry, but you cant advertise without contacting a mod or admin first.  You could also have put your youtube channel in the youtube thread.
