[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6877207, member: 22779"] That's [u]precisely[/u] what happens at En World. You hit the "report a post" button. The Mod's never contact you do they? They look at the post and then issue a warning - be it just big red text, or possible ejection from the thread, or possible ejection for the site. And, you better believe that the more times they have to step in for your (or my) behaviour, the less likely they are to let something slide the next time. And, note, this is NOT the policy on En World. One warning then banning is not how it works. It would really help if people would stick to facts, rather than hypotheticals. Now, it helps on En World that we have actual records - they can read the posts. But, I would point you to the Rules of En World that we all agreed to when we signed up on the site. Conventions and public places should also have these kinds of rules, posted publicly, so that everyone knows the score. /snort. So, because someone might commit a crime (fraud is a crime - and you better believe that in a Magic Tournament where you have significant prize money it would be investigated) we shouldn't do anything? Who is exploiting the rules to eject people from con's? This is the first time this has even been brought up. Is this actually a problem? Or is this just another way to obfuscate the issue and make it that much harder to actually deal with real problems, just because someone "might" exploit the rules? [/QUOTE]
