Forum:Brakenstar - 19 July - 3 Day Ban

On 19 July 2008 Brackenstar was banned for a period of 3 days as a result of Forum Conduct in Forum:Rejected Warriors Names. In an effort to obey the Policy that will go into effect tomorrow, I have opted to post an explanation of my ban here.  Kitsufox Fox's Den 05:52, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Crime
Brackenstar cunducted themselves outside of acceptable conduct and made a foray into the realm of personal attack via the following forum posts:


 * #1
 * Some sort of offense to rainpaw, and Kitsufox, but who are you to say to dictate us around. it might be immature but it was not started by you. at the top said by Darkpaw it was hust for laughs, all those laughs were funny, so don't you start acting like Buzz Killington and say words like that


 * #2
 * so don't you start acting like Buzz Killington and say words like that it was not started by you. so dont act like you OWN IT!!!!!!!!!!
 * GOD I AM SO OUTRAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


 * #3
 * Rainpaw you should change your name to Bethosface, or Dungbrain

Analyzed by Kitsu
1: As a Sysop, it is my job to give instructions and keep people on task. Not only did the topic itself, even when used properly, brought nothing of value to the Wiki. When it descended into such immaturity that it was harming the image of the wiki it became necessary for me to ask for a correction. That I didn't just protect the page, or delete it and call it done should have been taken as a kindness, rather than some sort of cruelty.

2: In know way did anyone act like they owned the place. Outrage is acceptable, but using the internet equivalent of a shot is not an unacceptable way to request a change to a Sysops judgment.

3: Unacceptable personal attack against Rainpaw, who did nothing more than agree that immaturity destroyed the fun they were having.

Punishment
I opted for a 3 day ban, the shortest standard WWiki ban, to serve as a warning. Flaming, screaming and name calling will not be tolerated here. Nor will demands that anarchy rule be bent to. First and foremost this is an encyclopedia. We are gathered here to write an encyclopedia, not giggle like children over names like "Poopheart" and "Dungeye".
