Ive seen less of them lately. It’s like jail bars over your avatar.
Jail bars appear for one major violation or two minor violations. Sometimes they don’t disappear when they’re supposed to! Believe me, the moderators didn’t come up with this system.
The worst are students who start chance me threads and get rude when told by multiple posters that a certain school is out of reach. They were looking for false assurances that they have “a great chance of getting in”.
I was accused a month ago of “stalking” a poster because I looked up his posting history and challenged him for a major inconsistency is his posted stats.
In my experiences recently with posters who have been less than respectful, most of them have been fairly new members. Maybe people are not familiarizing themselves with rules before agreeing to the terms of service . Just a thought.
