Changelogs - December 13, 2020
  • Patched an issue whereas a user with an unverified email could utilize dozens of forms (i.e. Staff Applications, Ban Appeals, etc.) without being in a valid state. Users with an unverified email should no longer be able to perform those actions, resulting in far less content being thrown into the approval queue. This addresses an issue whereas an unverified user could submit a staff application and it would not show due to the flagged approval process.
  • Some forms received minor tweaks in terms of appearance, etc.
  • A wipe of the SteamID64 user profile was conducted. Users may re-input their SteamID64 in their account settings.
  • SteamID64 information will now link to their Steam Profile and is available in the postbit (under user avatar).

  • Members are asked to use "ratings" in a constructive manner. Dumbing or Rating someone's post down out of spite, or because you just don't like them, the rating will be removed. This also includes complaining to Forum Staff & Moderators about a negative rating you received.

  • Members who leave ratings [+1's,-1's] are required to put an informative reason along with their vote.
    • This applies to all aspects of the Forums.
  • Members are asked only to post in English, as this is an English speaking community.
  • Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing". That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large, small or colored text, etc. Similarly, users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts. Users consistently abusing this will be warned.
  • Members shall not create "GoFundMe" or other threads begging for or asking for money from the community unless given explicit permission from the D.O.I
  • Members are asked NOT to "bump" old threads, making a 2 week (or longer) old thread become active again. This may also be referred to as "necroposting".

  • Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstance.

  • Please note that your actions on the forums as a staff or community member may have a direct or indirect impact on your community reputation and staff position.
ICEFUSE NETWORKS FORUM MODERATION POLICY
  • IFN operates a one strike policy. Users will be warned a maximum of one time for any and all offenses in a one month period. If the need arises for a second warning a temporary ban will be put in place of between 1 to 7 days. If severe, the ban may remain permanent.
  • Arguing with IFN Staff after having received a warning will lead to an immediate additional warning.
  • Users who feel they have been unfairly warned or ban are welcome to appeal their warnings or bans to an Infrastructure Supervisor.
  • Any attempt to circumvent a temporary ban or other moderator action will lead to a permanent ban of your account(s). Circumvention includes re-registering or using an already registered account under a non-banned username. Other examples include changing IP addresses, using a new email account or other action that can be taken to evade moderator action to hide your identity as the owner of the sanctioned account.
  • An exception to the one strike rule is threats, self-harm, or suicide discussion. Such users may be subject to an immediate permanent ban.
  • Forum Moderators reserve the right to skip the "one strike policy" at any point in time if they feel your behavior is severe enough to warrant an immediate forum suspension/ban.
