Hi Guys,

While I was mod training I realized that our FSB policy does not contain a provision for someone that attempts to circumvent the FSB by either creating a sock or just ignoring the FSB.
I am opening this thread for discussing this. Here is what was adopted as a ET section wide for those forums without a FSB rule.

E-bans for socks- An immediate e-ban will be given for the creation or use of a sock account to circumvent a forum-wide or site-wide ban

Area Ban- A Warning to the member also that should this member continue his acts of violation in other SUB-forums in the Congregational area, he will be at risk* of an AREA BAN of the entire Congregational area for a year.

Violating a FSB-
A member who violates a FSB at step #1 will receive a 1-day site wide ban.
A member who violates a FSB at step #2 will receive a 7-day site wide ban.
A member who violates a FSB at step #3 will receive a 30-day site wide ban.
Violations of FSBs of any length will result in a SWB of the same length...Bans given for violation of an FSB are not subject to appeal.


I think that we should consider adopting a variation of the above. Remember that we do have a FSB rule so the ET wide FSB rule does not apply to this forum so consequently we don't have a clear way to deal with someone that violates a FSB.

Thoughts?

Well, it would probably be wise for us to adopt some sort of rule in case it happens. Not that it will...but never hurts to have something in place in case it does. :thumbsup:

Yep, this came up when we were creating the Strike 3 rules. At that point, we were already in poll, and I didn't want to change anything.

We have two choices. If no rule exists, then SWR's are the default. If we do not want the SWR's to default, we have to create our own rule.

That is why I felt safe in not changing the Strike 3 rules after the poll had already started up. However, we can certainly add it now, if you like.

Do you want to adopt the SWR's or create our own?
