All The Tropes:How We Do Bans Around Here: Difference between revisions

A warning is given on the Talk page of the Troper being warned, where everyone can see it. Casual comments on a forum, in IRC, or board-to-board do not count as warnings as far as this guideline is concerned.

It is common for the Moderator to also request that the Troper respond and acknowledge receipt of the warning. In such a case, such a response is to be in the form of a reply within the thread where the warning was given, where everyone can see it, in which the Troper is to note that they have read the warning and will try to comply with requests made by the Moderator. Deliberately ambiguous responses and [[Weasel Words]] will ''not'' be accepted as an acknowledgment - instead, this is seen as ''prima facie'' evidence that the editor intends to be a disruptive element on the wiki in violation of [[All The Tropes:The Troper's Code|the Troper's Code]] and is grounds for an immediate tempban - nor will the use of the wiki's "thank" function.
