the rights of an exile......

Thursday, December 4, 2003 by MrGupps | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

are they still aloud to dl stuff? i was talking to james (JamesPasco) earlier today at school, and he said that he (and other exiles) can dl skins, post comments and upload and that exiles can do almost nething they want. Is this true? have the rules changed?

I don't think they can upload or post comments. I think they can still download. Not sure if the rules have changed or not.Maybe there is a glitch in the system.

There are new status changes... one who is a pest on the board can find his/her status changed to visitor. Visitors can download. But not comment.

And for a period of time upon gaining the new 'position' until they have refreshed their cookies, they can post. It is fleeting glory, though.

The only thing that 'exiles' can do is bask in the knowledge that they have transgressed one rule or another to the point of no return.

A website is a microcosm of the general community at large which also imposes 'rules of conduct' which, if broken will have you jailed or summarily shot [usually itself a rule transgressed, but not always].

For a community to survive its 'rules' need to be conformed to, but the advantage of the microcosm variety is that there are alternate 'universes' where other rules may apply more suited to the exilee's temperament.

Being exiled is not a status symbol but an indication that 'another place' may perhaps be more suited to you...

Maybe that will keep him off the forums.

Though I doubt it.

There should be a cap on how many posts a Level 2 user can create.

goodmorphing is guessing if he is posting from school he is bound to get kicked off the computer sooner or later....

Well, the thing I can see is that if they contributed through subscriptions and whatnot, and their only fault is an impulsive and imature and 'silly' mouth ... then the visitor status seems fair. Honor their contribution and help them control their 'faults'.

true enough goodmorphing, I have to admit though I hadn't thought of anyone subscribing and ending up exiled.

Bah, people who are insulting, argumentative and annoying should be outta here, and decrease the surplus population.

... Oh, wait. Nevermind.
