New Templates (Drafts)

[Ethos]

Aaaand, here's what the new templates might look like: (I've bolded what the templates are actually about for your convenience)



{MEMBER},

You have received a warning for using profanity:

{MEMBER},

You have received a warning for conducting yourself in a manner unbecoming of a Reasonable Faith Forums user. Namely, exemplifying a rude manner of discourse:

{REGARDS}


{MEMBER},

You have received a warning for posting off-topic comments and thereby participating in “derailing” a thread:

{MESSAGE}

Such conduct, whether intentional or unintentional, has the effect of stifling the original conversation. Please cease these activities and abide by the forum rules otherwise we will take further action. Keep your posting on-topic. If you wish to digress, feel free to create a separate thread.

{REGARDS}

Perhaps, when we finalise some rules, we could add a "which is in violation of rule #such and such" clause.

I love these templates, not to mention the use of the forum code. I also agree that it makes sense to draw the user back to the policies, once they're finalised.

[Ethos]

I've gone ahead and added these templates to Custom Warning Templates page. We can always edit them as we see fit. For now, they are there to use.

If it's possible, I'd like to edit the existing templates to bring them in line with the new ones, using the forum code.
