I understand that and just trying to bring up some scenarios for stupid things though the bigoted remark one was probably a bad one. In truth, what I'm asking is that, if someone breaks the rules once, is that once forever and then once they mess up again it's an instant ban or would members receive another warning if they messed up with minor things once in every blue moon?( A few months to a year later per say)

Well, considering that we are setting the bar pretty high for even a warning, it's safe to say that the warning is going to have a long shelf life. How long? I have no idea because it hasn't been discussed. It'll definitely have a longer life than a few months.

In most cases, if we find something that isn't that big a deal, we aren't going to be ringing people with warnings -- so far, we've only delivered less than ten so far since mahz brought NewGuild up (roughly five months). We're far more likely to just clear something out without comment and move on. But those guidelines are meant to explain where our no-go areas happen to be. And yes, if we find ourselves cleaning up after someone a lot, we're gonna shoot off a warning because that's a time-waster and thus a no-go. 

If Spam goes about its business as it has up to four days ago, you can safely assume we'll probably not be doing much of anything, which is precisely how we like it. This is not a shift in policy, this is a clarification in policy.

[quote=Drakel]The OP poster was given an okay but apparently members didn't like it so he was asked to take it down and warned to not post it again.... Similar to the "Artistic nudes being okay" rule that was stated by Contra.

If a mod pre-approves it, they'll let the others know, because we're keeping the commo lines open these days. As to the artistic nudes, per Contra, that remains. Of course, we're going to have to make sure to go over what she said about artistic nudes to make sure we're on point with it...if it ever comes up. But the thing with artistic nudes is that they don't ping google. So long as we are talking art and not softcore pornography, which is often billed as art. :brow

addendum: as with so many other things, though, if we start getting snarky 'artistic nudes' spam, we'll be forced to make a rule about it. We don't want to go there, we're relying on guild members to be responsible here.
