Marc, I'm feeling really dense, but I can't see where in the CP I go to accept the rule changes. Would you mind clarifying?

Me neither.

Go to edit optons and its the 3rd one down.

[Marc]

Sorry...go to edit options once you are in there. I need to update that link that is there...but you get the general gist. Thanks!

[Traveler]

Personally i can't figure out why it was always optional whether you agree to it or not, makes no sense to alow someone to post who reuses to declare that they'll follow the rules!

[Marc]

It is only meant to be optional during the 7-day grace period. This was going to be turned off a long time ago and will be in 7-days. Thus, your confusion since this wasn't done due to several other changes going on at the time.

You notice at the top it does say, "...by simply being registered at the domain uspoliticsonline.com you agree to the following in whole:". If you are posting, then that means you are registered and we hold you accountable.

I do want to say a BIG "Thank You" to everyone for their understanding and cooperation.


hugs,

Yeah that's fair enough, now it makes sense.

[Marc]

Exactly as Crystal said. By posting here you implicitly agree...if you check the box then you both implicitly and explicitly agree to its terms. Either way you agree.

[Traveler]

Yeah...just you don't actually waive off on the disclaimer....all just tantamount to the same thing at the end of the day. I just figured the disclaimer part was optional.

Very odd. Have you tried to post a new thread? What happens?

I have adjusted your account. If anyone else runs into this issue please let me know via PM. Going forward, new members must have 30 posts AND be registered for 30 days before they are allowed to post new threads.

It has come to the attention of the mod team that when viewing your warnings the column headings do not appear. When you view your warnings you will see several columns. Below I will explain what each column means and hopefully it will answer questions you may have.

Viewing columns left to right:

• Column 1: Name given to violation (off topic post, spamming, etc.)
• Column 2: Brief description of the violation
• Column 3: Points violation is worth
• Column 4: Days points are valid for (30 days)
• Column 5: Permanent Ban? Permanent bans are not issued for a single violation - meaning if you get a warning for insults you will not be automatically banned.
• Column 6: Post related? The violation can be found in a post.
• Column 7: Allow alerts? A member may be issued an alert (0 points) instead of a warning.
• Column 8: Predefined comment? A predefined comment has been entered by Marc and will automatically be sent to members via PM.
