Ummm.... everyone will hate me for this. I feel awful writing this but it has to be done. ... how do I say this... copying people's work is a pretty bad thing... and on this forum it usually results in immediate ban... But it's not a ban as of yet. That would be an awful thing to do on Valentine's Day. But I do have to give you a warning... I didn't want to, trust me, it felt awful doing it but I had to... I would prefer if you didn't copy the titles of the boards and the board descriptions exactly. People who see my site may think I'm copying from yours. And.... that goes for the posts too... please... don't copy my posts exactly... my rules list and all my support threads took me hours to write up. This whole forum took me a very long time to put together. Being a forum administrator is not an easy job. It's the hardest job on the forum. Soooo.... I know I am being extremely mean here but like I said, forum admin is not an easy job. But unless you make changes to your forum so it's not a direct duplicate of this one... me or the assistant admin will have to ban your account. If you do make changes to the forum so it's all your own work, I will not ban you. You can keep the same ideas for the boards, just don't copy my forum exactly. I am not using the warning bar for this kind of thing. The warning bar is reserved for double posting and other minor things like that. This warning expires on the 15th of February... so if you haven't made changes to your forum by then... I'll have to ban your account...
You don't necessarily have to redo the entire forum. As I said, you can keep the ideas for the boards but please write the descriptions yourself. The same thing goes for the rules list and other posts. Not all forums follow the same rules so it really makes no sense to put my rules list on your forum.
I know I'm sounding very mean. I can't control what goes on at your forum, but as far as this forum is concerned, banning and suspension rest with myself and the Assistant Admin. If it has to be done it has to be done. I am guessing that everyone hates me now...  |

I had to DP. Sorry about that.
The warning is extended until you see this message... I'm aware that not everyone is on every day and if you didn't see my message you wouldn't know I wanted you to fix your forum... you might have tried to get online and found your account was banned without warning.
I would like it if you'd reply to this just so I know you've seen it... I don't want to ban anyone without warning. In fact, I don't want to ban anyone period...
I am trying to be as fair as possible, but if account banning is necessary I'll have to do it.
If anyone thinks I'm being unfair or irrational please let me know.

I'm sorry about the triple post, but I'm locking this topic as of now.
Another forum member reported that one of my RPGs was copied to a thread on the Ushi no Tane forum...
I'm sorry to say this, but this is the 2nd time this happened... and according to the forum rules, commiting this violation twice results in account suspension. It may not be permanent but as the admin I have to do this.
