You can discuss it in there and sort out any real differences you have, rather than posting you disagree a few dozen times.

bam.

I think it is perfectly fair to ban them if they come and advertise on LiveWire. Don't get me wrong, but it's a perfectly valid reason. Generally these members come to this site with the intent to Advertise. So giving them a warning won't really do any good, especially if they are going to continue to spam with their advertisements. Seriously, look back at some of the spam members we have had recently.

For instance, the Billy May's advertiser. Username Billy Mays, posting the Same message everywhere he went. Although this member wasn't banned, he obviously came for the purpose of spamming a ridiculous message on LiveWire. Generally they will die down and realize they aren't wanted/needed/being cared about, and go away. Such as he/she.

I suppose what I'm saying, in an overview, is that they should be banned if they fail to abide by the new rules. I doubt that moderators ban them off the wall. They receive informal warnings like everyone else. If they continue to not follow the rules, well, that is there choice. This message is sent out to every novice. Hopefully they take the time to read it. The first point, being to read the guidelines. If they choose not to, that is their fault and they are putting themselves at risk. I get your point, but I don't agree at all.

I think the whole purpose of having novices is so that we are able and capable to talk to them and get to know them. Introduce ourselves, and explain a little bit about LiveWire. Grant it, most of us again, could care less. In a sense, it should be about making sure they understand the aspects of everything and the general rules which deal with the everyday experience that they have here.

Again, most of us don't even take the time to do this unless they message us first. Let alone do we keep tabs on them and make sure they are following the guidelines and rules. Why should we care? Well, to me, it seems that we should care because it demonstrates how well we are at making sure our novices are comfortable and familiar with the rules that they should follow. If we aren't capable to sit here and explain to them why a rule is in place, then of course they won't be following them and they will be put up for denial of service.
