    Zero Tolerance in the NBA2k forum (PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!!)

    A little under two weeks from release, the mods will be paying specific attention to the NBA 2k forums. Zero Tolerance is generally in effect throughout all of OS but mods will be significantly less lenient when it comes to trolling, agenda posting and personal attacks in this forum.

    Let me reiterate what is expected out of you, the OS user:

    Do not, under any circumstance, attack a user or guest of OS. That INCLUDES staff, game developers, and regular users. You may question (CONSTRUCTIVELY) an opinion. But if you attack the user (includes name calling and calling them a liar) you will be banned.

    Trolling and agenda posting are specifically against the TOS. We know that there is another basketball game for sale. You may prefer that game over NBA 2k. But you are not allowed to compare 2k to that game in this forum. Comparison threads are permitted in the Other Basketball games forums. People who ignore this will be banned.


    Bans will come very swiftly. We don't like doing it, but it is an unfortunate necessity of a large number of vocal minority who just seem hell bent on making this place as negative as possible.

    This thread will remain open (as always) for feedback. And before you become the first poster to mention, your first amendment right doesn't apply on a privately owned forum.

    Also, please keep in mind - we don't allow multiple usernames at OS. That also means if you get banned, we can and will ban you again just for creating another username to post.

        Yeah, I've never really got that. Sometimes it's cool to do and then sometimes it's enforced to not do it. Could show plenty of examples of people comparing the two (even mods) in both threads.

        I believe it's fair to compare both games, but the rules are the rules.

          Reading comprehension is at all time low at OS. Where did I say you cant compare games? I said you cant compare games in this forum. Most people who come to the 2k or Live forums want to read posts about THAT GAME. They arent interested in hearing that one game does something better than the other.

          For those people who are interested in a comparison...you can post about it in the Other Basketball Games forum. If this isnt acceptable to you, you can choose to no longer post here as is your right.

          FYI, its never been "cool to do". Its always been against the TOS. Just because a mod may not see a post doesnt mean its allowed.

              This is scary to me holbert. I am new to o.S and really enjoy being a part of the cumminity. I feel like i have a chance for my oppinions to be heard! I just hope there is some kind of waning system for new users who get a little to close to the line i hate to be banned for doing somthing i didnt even know was bannable. I was scared to post this message.

                There is no warning system. The reasons for banning are clearly in the tos and in the first post. If you are respectful and constructive, you don't have to worry about being banned.

                  Fair enuf, a temp for 1st time offenders or something of the sorts would give me a little bit less of that tip toeing on egg shells feeling. But none the less i understand the need for mod's and enforcing the TOS. And i am glad to now be a part of OS after lurking for so long.

                      So many individuals find it so hard to follow rules, period. Too many people talk and type before they ever think. Comprehension is an ability far too many people lack.

                        Yeah, as someone who knows about modding, gotta say, this seems a little heavy handed honestly. Deleting post without warning or explanation seems a little extreme. I mean i guess it'll help with trolls not staying longer than they should(that redbull guy comes to mind, who was hellbent on defending EVERYTHING about 2k at any cost and insulted anyone who disagreed and stayed here for a bit before getting banned).But still, a little much. Guess with the influx of traffic, people don't have time, which i get. I'd still say it's a bit much though. Eh, whatever though man.

                          This isn't really that hard of a post to comprehend.

                            You may post constructive criticism, but not allowed to include in that comparison the other basketball game?

                            Seems a like bit of a stretch if you can still include in that comparison things from FIFA, NHL, Madden and so on. Under that rule, a post such as this one with 146 likes would be subject to a ban.

                              My only beef is the open thread scolding of other posters instead of just sending an infraction with details or a personal message. It's a method of intimidation, and might put a lid on those who might have a contrasting opinion.

                              I believe this thread serves a better purpose than than previous methods. Hopefully I can read more threads without seeing someone getting slapped on the wrist or being terminated on sight.
