General NBA Forum Strike Amnesty Period

Post #1 » by **Howard Mass** » Fri Jul 5, 2013 4:15 am

RealGM Users,

Last September 5, The General NBA Discussion Forum Policy went into effect.

The policy has been a great success improving the discussion on our General NBA Forum.

Since the policy has improved the discussion, we have decided it is time to have an Amnesty Period.

During this time starting July 15 and ending August 15, users may appeal to have a strike removed.

Here are the rules

- Users with one strike may send me an appeal via PM that I would then forward to The General NBA Forum Moderator Appeals Committee to have their strike removed.

- Strikes committed during The Amnesty Period July 15-August 15 are not eligible to be appealed.

- Each User is allowed only one appeal and it must be sent between July 15 and Aug 15.

- To appeal, users must have no other infractions on The RealGM Forums for the past 6 months from the day the appeal is sent.

- Users with two strikes and Read-Only Access are not eligible to appeal to have a strike removed.

- Users with two strikes that have successfully appealed their Read-Only Access Status may appeal to have a strike removed.

- Users with three strikes or were banned from The General NBA Forum before the new policy was put into place are not eligible to appeal to have a strike removed.

- This will be one or two amnesty periods per year with the other one coming December 15 through January 15

If anyone has questions, feel free to post them here or send me a PM.

What about past suspensions from before the GNBA board policy.

Totem,

Those will not included in The Amnesty.

Very Good Question though.

Hi. Is an "official warning" the same as a strike? Because I received one back in 2004... I still have the PM in my inbox.

No; strikes only began to be awarded under the new policy (September 2012 and later).

What if you aren't sure if you have a strike? I think I may have one. Not sure, though

I have some board warnings, but nothing that says strike in my inbox. Can a mod confirm please? thanks

Where do you see your strikes? I remember being suspended a few months back so I think I have at least one....and I think a few warning for from almost a year ago when rules first came

Hello, Are strikes the same as warnings?

Post #13 » by **kingkirk** » Sat Jul 13, 2013 8:24 am

You receive a strike when you're warned on the GB as per the new rules, assuming a warning was given after the policy implementation.

A strike is given when 'warned' on the GB.

Effigy/HeatRing2012/LarsV8,

I sent you a PM if you have a strike.

If you did not get a PM from me from me, you have no strikes.
