People still don't understand the difference between HQ, SYG and NHB?

Would these posts below warrant a ban from NHB?
6. Am I even posting this in the right thread?
|
5. Yes, because NHB is for fights. Why post there if you have nothing to fight about?
6. Yes.

7. Either works, but technically it doesn't matter since unless you are donating money... we all can't really do much.

Well, that's another thing, and as far as I know, WP's are being handed to those
people that abuse of their "reporting ability"; (this because some people started
going on the bases to report off-topic posts even though they weren't fans of
the artist). So if someone is obviously just trying to get you out of the game and their
report reasons are becoming ridiculous, I think that's when a WP could be handed.

Exactly.... sometimes I feel like people try to give other people WPs just to have them have WPs.
I haven't even changed one bit how I was posting and now I'm getting all these WPs and it's just making me confused.

Are you trying to cause a fight with Ashley? Then, NHB.
If you're just complaining about her becoming a member, then ATRL HQ.
2. If it's a specific mod, like calling me out, then NHB/PM/Wall makes more sense, honestly. This thread is for general discussion. Why should other mods have to try to look at this and help and solve stuff when you're clearly out to start a fight with me?
3. The Help Tool is sort of for the same stuff. Sometimes you may not want to post but still need help or something resolved. This thread is more for confrontational material, from my understanding.
4. Again, do you go around staring, making facial reactions, and laughing with people, never saying a word? When you deal with countless posts in a thread with that kind of image-only behavior, it get's irritating and, is, pointless.
In summary, NHB for fights or direct confrontation. ATRL HQ for general ATRL discussion.
It was a combined effort and as it has been repeatedly mentioned, the bans will be lifted in 14 days.
It's a way to remind people to use NHB for actual fights.
Thank you for the reminder post.

RE: RE: Question 1: I was talking about a user getting banned, not registered.
RE: RE: Question 2: I'm not out to start a fight with any mod (at the current moment), I'm asking it from a hypothetical standpoint. Some decisions just grind my gears. I'd doubt that they want me to leave nasty messages on their wall or via PM. I'll just go with NHB.
RE: RE: Question 3: So I'd use the help tool if I had to deal with something in a private manner?
RE: RE: Question 4: Not exactly, but they don't call it body language for no reason. Text or an emoticon both emote, do they not? But I do see what you mean.
Oh, and I need confirmation on one thing.
8. If ATRL HQ is for discussion regarding ATRL, then what separates it from the ATRL filter of The Lounge section?
Is the latter more for casual discussion?

So many people like to whine about their celebrities getting bashed.
If not that, oh no, they're hating on me for liking said celebrity.
Maybe it'd be easier to simplify if everyone didn't throw a fit with everything.

If they're strict like that, it's only because the majority of members choose to whine and complain about petty details in perfectly fine posts in order to try and "knock each other out of the game" rather than produce productive discussions.
Is posting a smiley without text going to interrupt the flow of the thread? No. Is it going to derail the conversation? No. So why enforce it? Well because the girls need more tools to use against each other.

And that's really the strongest point.
Do ya'll think Mods go around looking for posts with only gifs as responses or read through whole threads to find supposed "flamebait"? (Most of the time) If it's warned, it means someone had to have reported it. And I'm sure with the overwhelming amount of reports that go through everyday (about 60 warning/day) it's easier to make rules to address the majority than to look at each case by case. Mods got lives too.
If you don't want so many rules and a convoluted warning point system then some of ya'll should stop reporting just for the hell of it. Don't take everything so seriously and maybe the mods won't either.

That said. The mods shouldn't resort to rules only. You're basically like "parents" on this site. And sometimes as parents you gotta tell your child to shut the **** up and quit whining. Stop feeding the girls what they want by giving them more ways to get each other in trouble.
It's become a competition of who can be the biggest tattletale and adding new rules only furthers that mentality.

You should have just deleted your post in there like I did.
You wouldn't be in this mess.

1. My bad. That's ATRL HQ.
2. If it's just general mod problems, then ATRL HQ.
3. Yep.
4. Yes but body language is used in conjunction with words. I mean, is it that hard to say

Great post!

rather than ? Even that GIF post would be made better if it was

We are not worthy! Great post!

8. Bingo! So, this is not the place to go asking what everyone's favorite color is... that's The Lounge material. This is mostly to have an open forum with and for the moderators... so questions, concerns, and feedback concerning the staff.

True but you want the forum to look good too. I mean, yes, we have a lot of members, but what good is it to be have a booming forum when not ALL of the people who register stick around to continue posting? It should be a welcoming community and if every damn thing gets reported and everyone starts a stan war or gives you countless pages of mindless pics/banter, it gets irritating for certain members to browse their favorite topics.

I think I get it now.
Now that the HQ questions are out of the way, I have a few more regarding the other threads and sections.
Give me a minute.

But I was in there to see a fight, obviously. So... poor daT.
And one time I got a point for calling someone into NHB so we could fight. It's NHB, flamebait shouldn't even exist in there, nor should insensitive, annoying, etc.

They can see those, but even so it was little coincidental since my last point was in May.

9. Do administrators moderate as well?
10. Why are the rules for the games section so much stricter than the explicit and file sharing rules?
Am I the only one that sees the problem with that?
I don't want to accidentally **** up a game of Survivor and get my account wiped and blacklisted off the server.
11. Are there any plans to upgrade the vB on this forum?

9. Not as much. They have administrator stuff... more technical stuff concerning the site.
10. Could you share some examples?
11. Yes but I think they want to make sure the server is good before they try to do that.
There are a lot of things being worked on right now concerning ATRL features
