Welcome and Please Get Acquainted

In the ever-changing landscape of what's appropriate and not, it's easy to lose track so the mods of PHF have come together and agreed on the 3-strike policy. If you've never heard of a similar concept, the expression is derived from "Three strikes and you are out," a phrase used in baseball where a batter against whom three strikes are recorded, strikes out.

This is just a fancy way of saying, if you're issued your first warning, (depending on the severity or prior communication) there could be no restrictions or bans placed on your account or you could be given a week-restriction/ban. It's simply a notification to you to be aware that someone reported your language or behaviour and a mod has agreed that said language or behaviour is not acceptable. No harm, no foul, just make a mental note of it and avoid that type of interaction.

Should you continue to repeat said language or behaviour, a second strike will be implemented. This will be a restriction on your posts, meaning, your posts will be reviewed before being published. This will last for roughly a month. During this time, if you show in good faith that you've acknowledged the previously reported issue(s), then you'll be granted full access back after a month. If you act out during this time, it may result in further restrictions. Prior to this point, you are encouraged to reach out to the issuer of your point to explain your side, but this is YOUR responsibility. If you decide not to or you wait too long, this opportunity will not be available to you as you exhausted the timeline.

If by the third time you still haven't made corrective adjustments, this will result in a permanent ban from the site.

 

I get it, we're all from different countries, have different upbringings, live in different cultures, but there are some generally agreed upon behaviours that are not acceptable. Derogatory or inflammatory names such as ethnic slurs will not be tolerated. Cyber-stalking will not be tolerated. Use your best judgement, if it does not meet the status quo, you'll receive a message from a mod prior to a point being issued, but further disregard will result in your 1st strike. If you have questions, you're welcome to reach out. Thank you.

Please note: Mods do not deal with trades/buys/sells/etc. This post does not apply to those situations as they are completely out of any moderator's control.
