To the Senior Members of TTV; The Underlying Issues with the Message Boards

So, this is a good example of what not to do in a situation where you wish to address issues you have with the boards.

Firstly, this does not need it’s own topic. You have a problem with staff actions? Please direct them to staff members in PM, for one thing it’s more likely to reach us (since you didn’t even bother to tag us in this topic). Two it doesn’t make a big public spectacle out of a trivial issue such as a 24 hour suspension.

If you find yourself in a situation where you’re suspended and wish to talk to us about the issue, you can email us on our public email: the3virtues@gmail.com which is displayed on the front page of our website and on our youtube channel.

As it stands, this topic reads as a desperate cry for attention to show the community how “unjust” the system is rather than an actual discussion with staff about the ethics of our moderation. So that doesn’t really help your case here.


Anyway, I wish to address the issue at hand.

First and foremost,

We do not allow off-topic discussion on the BIONICLE 2016 topic, and we’re holding that topic on a very tight leash.

As such, any posts deemed off-topic after that warning are strictly outlawed. We have restated this warning multiple times throughout the topic.

You were banned for multiple posts that were deemed off-topic by the community, two of which were simply meme images/gifs that contributed nothing to the discussion at all.

Having an on-topic discussion does not excuse or cancel out the instances where you were not on-topic, so don’t make the mistake that you were being banned solely for your conversation regarding the mechanical voices or that those on-topic posts should have stopped you from being banned. You were banned for your single-image posts.

It would also be wise to listen to other community members when they tell you that your posts are off-topic, because more often than not they likely are.
