For a few months now (since the death of n2), I've been witnessing a transition on these forums from helpful posts to, well, attacking, unnecessary, and hijacking posts. This is your
only warning that this action will no longer be tolerated, and actions
will be taken because of this in the (very) near future.
N2news is all about helping people out, not about attacking individuals, derailing threads, hijacking them, or anything like that. While, understandably, some may be frustrated that you can't see TV as you want right now, this is no excuse for this kind of action, and the
forum rules still apply!
A (quick) walkthrough on proper posting etiquette since it seems to be necessary:
- If your post is not on topic, don't post it.
How do you determine if the post is on topic? Ask yourself this very simple question:
- If your post is going to divert discussion from the original post of the thread, don't post it.
- If your post is just a "fluff" post (ie: it contains no real content), don't post it.
From this point onward, any post that is deemed by moderators to meet any of those criteria will be given an 'infraction'. Get enough 'infraction points' and you will be given a temporary pass to the "readers only" group, where you will be able to be able to contemplate your actions with the ability to read threads and download attachments only.
While I do realize this may be upsetting and frustrating to some, a good number of individuals are ruining what is a great site by hijacking and trolling in threads, which hasn't been acceptable since I came in over a year ago. If you DO see something like this, please, point it out to us by clicking on the report post icon (

Feel free to ask any relevant questions in this thread.
