As a mod, I'm curious. What do you as the userbase of GameFAQs think about LUEshi? I have a few specific questions. I know Crono's topic was very popular and got many of you involved, but I can't promise this is going to be a revolutionary thing or that there's going to be any specific revamp of the punishment standards. However, it's something I've been thinking about and I've spoken with other mods about, so if there's some relevant data to be collected I will pass it along at the least.

If a question does not apply to you, simply don't answer it.

1. Does LUEshi bother you personally when you see it?

2. Do you support purgatory for posting one LUEshi?

3. If not, how harsh should the first offense punishment be?

4. If you support no suspension for first offense, how many offenses should lead to a suspension?

Again, thanks for your input. I'm kind of curious how everyone personally feels about LUEshi other than the punishment scale the mods put together dynamically as it developed

LUEshi should be an instant ban. These people who post it know damn well that they'll get in trouble, yet when they get suspended, they go to MBH and use the hackneyed, "Why is a simple ASCII so dangerous? Posting porn will get you a warning, but a harmless ASCII gets you banned?" excuse.

All LUE fads should be instant notifications, in my opinion.

1. Does LUEshi bother you personally when you see it?

LUEshi doesn't bother me at all. It's hilarious. When it's used excessively, it should be punished as a fad. It's no more or less annoying than other useless fads. So unless the TOS is strengthened against fads, it should be punished appropriately.

2. Do you support purgatory for posting one LUEshi?

No. That's absolutely ridiculous. You get in less trouble for hate speech.

3. If not, how harsh should the first offense punishment be?

NKL. It's just a fad. Escalating punishment for repeat offenses, just like any other TOS violation.

4. If you support no suspension for first offense, how many offenses should lead to a suspension?

If they do it more than twice in a short period, they're asking for it. I would escalate the punishment by one step for each separate offense.

2. Do you support purgatory for posting one LUEshi?
Not one, but excessively.

3. If not, how harsh should the first offense punishment be?
3KL. By this point, everyone who knows about LUEshi knows it's a ToS violation, and should be at least slightly punished. People slip, though.

4. If you support no suspension for first offense, how many offenses should lead to a suspension?
I'm not sure. I suppose disregarding the first moderation is pretty dumb, so a warning would be in order. After that, if they aren't going to listen, ban them.

Right, you can stop trolling now. - Kimori

1. No, amd I think that anyone who does have a problem with it needs to mellow the **** out.

2. I support purgatory getting banned so that question is N/A.

3. If it is posted in a topic without other LUEshis there should be no punishment. The Soviet Russia thing is a fad but if someone randomly says it I haven't seen the message deleted. LUEshi should just be treated as a bunch of lines and if more than 1 person posts it in a row it is a fad. Normal fad punishments apply.

4. However many fad moderations would normally lead to a suspension.

1. Does LUEshi bother you personally when you see it?
No. It's Mario riding Yoshi. Video game characters.
On a video game site. Why get bothered by that?
It's actually impressive work, considering it's made up of characters, and wasn't really "drawn".

2. Do you support purgatory for posting one LUEshi?
No. It's modded so blindly and unreasonably, they even got Patamon's LUEshi. That was so wrong.

3. If not, how harsh should the first offense punishment be?
Common sense should apply here. If there's decent talk (politics, religion, or some just plainly sking for advice), then unexpected LUEshi'D/9.8 pops out, a warn should be sufficient for someone with a relatively clean history. Suspension if it's obviously a troll (new account, or very messy history).

If it was already posted in once in that topic, suspension seems acceptable. Killing a fad before it starts is understandable. But killing something because it's mother's friend's father was related to something that Looked like a fad, is just wrong.

It shouldn't even be modded at ALL in ascii topics, unless everyone was just posting it repeatedly.
Common sense and fair judgement is something I'd expect in a moderator.

4. If you support no suspension for first offense, how many offenses should lead to a suspension?

Again, common sense. If it seems intentional as disruptive, or is inciting a LUEshi fad once more, suspend him on the spot.

It's sad to see some decent users get suspended for LUEshis in ascii topics.

If LUEshi doesn't seem too unrelated (it was in a funny social board topic, or on something wack on RI, etc.), and it wasn't being repeated/fad'D, leaving it alone EVEN sounds feasible.

no, in fact i usually find it funny if the person makes it worthwhile (good suicides). Simple answer: no.
2. Do you support purgatory for posting one LUEshi?
one? just one and nothing else? Just one LUEshi is nothing really, but usually other stuff comes with it, so the "just one LUEshi" is a ban. I say no.
3. If not, how harsh should the first offense punishment be?
I don't exactly remember the punishments, but howabout just the strongest moderation notice (mod, karma loss, and restricted account). And since I am not really well versed in the types of moderation, I may have just described Purgatory perfectly.
4. If you support no suspension for first offense, how many offenses should lead to a suspension?
At least two.

Honestly, it's just ASCII. Sure it's big on some browsers, but come on! Plus, it's going to be an offense no matter what. I could understand the ASCII art being something like, say, Goatse, or BethanyM Wang, as that would be considered offensive, but LUEshi is extraordinarily mild. LUEsers will eventually learn their lesson anyway.

Oh, and you all call it "LUEshi" when it's actually Mario riding Yoshi, which means you support it... Uh, a little.

Treat as any other large ASCII - fine in an ASCII topic, notification where it doesn't belong, warning if part of a huge fad outbreak or as a "surprise ASCII" topic (which is a combination of disruptive and trolling). Suspend only as history warrants it, however, don't go easy on those who do get themselves suspended through repeated disruptive posting.

4. If you support no suspension for first offense, how many offenses should lead to a suspension?

In the notification scenario, 4 (notify, notify, warn, suspend). In the warn scenario, 2 (warn, suspend). Standard moderation cascading.

If I remember correctly, the LUE sign-up thingy did say something like "We're more lenient about fads and things like that on LUE, but it doesn't mean that they should be allowed to post porn"

Well, not excatly like that, but...
So basically, it should be allowed on LUE. Not too much spamming, but still allowed.

3-strikes and your out.

To go a step further I say that LUEshi should be allowed back at GameFAQs. LUEshi itself is internet fad, not just a cheap message board fad anymore and GameFAQs is its birthplace. LUEshi has stood the test of time and is continually gaining popularity as it spreads (much like GameFAQs). If someone marks a LUEshi post for moderation then delete it, but LUEshi as a KoS even in an ASCII topic? That's just a little over sensitive.

LUEshi could even be made as a posting privilege ability for certain lever users.

On the site or the boards next anniversary, CJayC should announce the return of LUEshi and post one on the front page!

=P-L=
Current art: http://artpad.art.com/gallery/?i96kou15thzs

Copied from Bansama's GF Rant (Link next):

I guess this is a good a point as any to try and explain to those who just don't get it. We all know that a certain overused ASCII is now worthy of an instant suspension and has caused some people to lose their accounts permanently, but here's the part that most seem incapable of grasping; it's not offensive, it doesn't offend us. It never did.

How anyone can assume that that poorly drawn ASCII is offensive is beyond me, perhaps they are either blind or stupid. I suspect both.

It is also apparent that these people don't understand why posting it causes suspensions. Let's try to explain it in simple terms that even a two year old can understand: once upon a time someone created an ASCII (say "ass-key"). Some people thought this ASCII (it's like a picture, but with no colours and not very good) was the bestest thing in the whole of GameFAQs. They liked it so much that they posted it all the time.

They thought it was funny to make a topic such as "My dad just died in a car accident and now I'm an orphan" with that ASCII as the only thing in the topic. And yes, once upon a time that was funny. At least for the first time you saw a topic like that, maybe even for the second and third time too, but when it got to the thousandth time and on any board you went to, it got boring. It got annoying. It got stupid, much like those who continued to post it.

So then one day, the merry band of moderators (say "people who uphold the rules") asked these other people to stop posting the ASCII. They didn't stop. So the moderators made them stop. They deleted the topics, first with no actual punishment. Now most people with a half a brain and the instructions (say "in-struck-shuns") on how to use it, knew this meant "don't post that ASCII anymore, it's not funny", but these people didn't have half a brain.

They didn't even have a third of a brain. So the moderators went one step further. They took back three karmies from anyone who posted it. This didn't stop them, so they took 10 karmies and warned these people. Can you guess what happened next? That's right Billy, they didn't stop, so now, they are suspended for it.

After being told for a good 12 months (that's right, one whole year) or so to stop posting it, these people still don't understand that it is no longer allowed. That's right, because it was so pathetically overused and because most people on GameFAQs fail to understand the phrase "don't do it" they are now removed from the boards. This is good. It makes the general IQ of the boards higher.

The moral of this story? People are not suspended for posting a poorly created ASCII, they are suspended for doing something that they know full well is not allowed on the site anymore. The same thing would have happened if they had posted one word "*tree*" for example instead of that poorly created ASCII, it's not the content that is moderated, it's the usage of the content and the fact that the ability of not posting it is way beyond these idiots. And here's the real kicker.

If they had stopped when first asked to, they would still be able to post that poorly drawn ASCII without any risk of being moderated for it. But these people are just too stupid to grasp the fact that they ****ed up. That's right, it's not the moderators' fault. They, and they alone are the ones to blame for this sad state of affairs. Although I will give them this, they are correct when they state that posting that ASCII shouldn't be a suspension. It shouldn't. They should have gotten it through their thick skulls long before that to stop.

This user is now:a Veteran | a Legend | an Elite user

1. Does LUEshi bother you personally when you see it?

No, it doesn't. It's just an ASCII. However, I do find that topics appearing to be a real discussion topic that just contains any ASCII should be moderated. LUEshi where it is appriopate (ASCII topics or request topics) doesn't matter to me at all. In fact, all ASCII arts should be specifically limited to ASCII art topics of some form or another and should be moderated if they appear in any other topic.

2. Do you support purgatory for posting one LUEshi?

No. Unless, as I said above, it appears in a non-ASCII topic. But even then it should be based on the user's moderation history. So one LUEshi with no moderation history should never be a purgy.

3. If not, how harsh should the first offense punishment be?

First offense should be a 3KL Notification. I think that posting any ASCII art in a non-ASCII topic should start as a 3KL Notification. After 2 notifications for ASCII, you get one warning. Then, you get suspended and leave it up to the admin. Kind of like a three strikes rule.

4. If you support no suspension for first offense, how many offenses should lead to a suspension?

2 Notifications, 1 Warning for Disruptive. Different types of moderations shouldn't really affect each other. Mods really should look into types of moderations and not just numbers. If someone has a lot of trolling moderations, their trolling posts should be treated harsher. However, their flaming or offensive moderations should be treated harsher then someone with no violations on record but not as harsh as another troll.

1. Does LUEshi bother you personally when you see it?

No. I actually really like it, seeing LUEshi usually makes me feel really happy. Something about it....just makes me feel warm inside >_> lol

2. Do you support purgatory for posting one LUEshi?

No. Maybe if a user repeatedly posts LUEshi in a topic not calling for it, then yes, but i think it should be like this for ANY ascii, not just LUEshi. However i think purgatory is far too harsh for just one LUEshi. I think it's especially unfair if a new user who comes to the site not knowing anything about LUEshi, posts a LUEshi becuase someone told him/her to, and then gets purgatoried, not knowing that you get purgatoried for LUEshi.

3. If not, how harsh should the first offense punishment be?

A 3KL, and an attached warning note to say that if repeated again in a disruptive way in a non-ASCII topic, then the punishment could be much worse.

4. If you support no suspension for first offense, how many offenses should lead to a suspension?

If a user continually posts lots of LUEshi's in topics not calling for it, then they should be suspended. If they do it again after they've been suspended, then they should get banned. However, posting 1 LUEshi in an ASCII topic should still be allowed for them.
