Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

To my understanding, it is (was) not against the rules to have multiple user accounts unless it was done to bypass a suspension. Perhaps the same rule should apply to bypassing warning points in general? I think that's what you're getting at here, but I suggest it might be best to spell it out with the rest of the rules. For example, I don't think it would violate any existing rules for me to start a new user name and lose my warning pts. No, I have have no intentions of ever doing that, I'm just saying that I suppose someone nearing 100 pts. might though.

I agree with Paul. I think a rule against creating a new user name in order to bypass warning points is a good idea.

Yeah, I know. But sheesh, I doubt anyone gets half as tired of READING the rules here then I do having to make them up as situations arise. The danged rules here are going to get as complicated and weighty as the tax codes....

Rich,
There is no need to cover every contingency. There is the letter and then there is the spirit. The lawyers sometimes call it "the reasonable man rule". In this case it is "reasonable" that someone's warnings follow them along, even if they make a new ID and even if vBulletin programming does not account for it.

I know the rules would end up more lengthy, but I don't think it would be TOO overwhelming. Considering how much time many people spend on Fauna, even if it took a whole 15 minutes to read all the rules, I don't think that's unreasonable. Besides, once a rule is in place you as the admin/mod would always have it to fall back on.
Honestly though, I would suggest a forum right on the main page called "Fauna Rules". And then just post (and lock) all of the rules right there--right there on the front page where nobody can claim to have not seen them. That, or add it as a link to the User CP--FAQ--Trader Ratings--etc. bar across the top. (if that's possible.) Also, if new members don't get an email with all of the rules sent to them right after they sign up, I think that would be a good idea. Not just a link or a suggestion to read something, but to actually send the rules, in text, to new members. Some people just need it spoon-fed to them.

I can't remember what thread it was on but I believe it had to do with Ryan T. He had about ten user names at one time and built up a lot of points under one then received a clean sweep when he changed to his current one. I believe Rich said then that there was nothing he could do about it due to programming. As you can see, he has again built up a fair amount under his current name.

Oops, he just said that on this thread. I should not skim the posts before posting.
