Your Questions answered! Read!

[BlackShadow]

Ok I decided to make this sorta 'FAQ' thread for people who just joined the community. Even I get pissed off when people ask things over and over and over again..

1) I kept checking up on www.warcraftreplays.com and the site always showed Under Construction. It was only a few days ago I went onto the WCR channel on Azeroth that I realized there was a new site! Why don't you revert back/link to here/tell us/DO SOMETHING to let us know?

Answer: "WE ARE NOT IN ANY WAY AFFILIATED WITH WARCRAFTREPLAYS.COM. THIS IS A TOTALLY SEPARATE SITE MADE BY THE STAFF AFTER THE OLD OWNER PISSED EVERYONE OFF AND DESTROYED THE SITE. HIS SITE MIGHT BE BACK UP, AND MIGHT NOT, BUT NONE OF US CARE."

2) There are so little replays! The old site was much better on replays! Feed us more replays!!!!

Answer: If you are interested in joining the Replay Staff please contact Lockon and ask about submitting an application.

3) Are there any staff positions available?

Answer: PM the head of which department you would like to join, or PM bluedot.

Two easy solutions:

1) People look at the big letters that say FAQ.
2) People learn to read.

Those are easy solutions, but also its very difficult for some people who dont know how to look at the top of the page when they come in. Or to search the site before they ask.

Yeah man. Damn the fact that it only says FAQ at the top of absolutely every page on these forums. So tough. :/

[BlackShadow]

Even though the FAQ thing was implemented.. it seems like every week someone goes ranting on how warcraftreplays.com is under construction and that they don't know there was this new site...

[Neeka]

word says the site will be up in two weeks from now.
now where did I hear that before? :)

[Gladiator]

At least it doesn't lie.

[yaaaboo]

ya i think its a good idea to.. i just found our about this site a month ago, and i think the old site still says underconstruction

i came here looking for the answer to:

"why do they sterlize lethal injection needles?"

and it wasnt answered :( and i read

[neverever]

Your question is a good question and not as easy to answer as one might
think. Why are sterilize needles used in lethal injections? Many
individuals supporting the death penalty believe that no other care should
be given to such dangerous criminals. However, there are a few
considerations that maybe you might want to think about. One of these is
for the safety of the individuals administering the injection, or more
importantly the individual inserting the needles. Sometimes despite how
careful someone thinks they are being, one can receive a needle prick. Now
for the criminal, most would say no big deal. But what about the
individual responsible for inserting the needles? Any infectious or
unsterile needle would then be a hazard to this individual (a doctor or law
enforcement individual). There are all sorts of dangerous diseases out in
our world today and quite a few are transmitted through and/or by the use
of unsterile needles. I do not think you would want to unintentionally
injure any other individual associated with this process? To
unintentionally give this individual a disease, maybe even fatal, to
themselves? Also, if for some reason the lethal injection process did not
work the first time due to a bad needle (clogged or bent), the
administrators would again put themselves at risk for an additional needle
prick when they had to change out needles. So by using sterile needles, it
is a safety measure for the other individuals involved in the process and
not necessarily the criminal.

And despite this being a criminal, they are still human beings. There are
rules of ethics in our society. There are different rules for different
societies and in ours, we would like to think we afford everyone some since
of dignity, compassion, and safety; even if they are a convicted criminal.
Some societies do not think this way and do unspeakable things to convicted
individuals. It's called cruel and unusual punishment. In our society, we
like to think everyone has a right to a dignified death by a method that
does not create excessive pain or is long and drawn out. The use of
sterile needles plays into the philosophy of a dignified death and not a
cruel or unusual punishment. The individual, even though a dangerous
criminal, is afforded the opportunity for a dignified death by a swift,
clean method. The use of sterile needles fulfills this requirement.

Also, in one sense, it may be a legal issue not to afford the criminal an
opportunity to file an appeal against the use of dangerous, unsterile
needles. The thought of being stuck by an infectious needle may create
undue mental torture for an individual - cruel and unusual punishment. For
some individuals, they have no problems facing the death penalty; but it
may be quite upsetting for them to think about being stuck by an infectious
needle. It's not saying our legal system is outrageously flawed, but the
individual condemned to die still has the right to appeal and if the court
found that the mental torture the individual endured by the thought of
being stuck by unsterilized needles was cruel and unusual punishment, the
sentence may be commuted to life in prison or day of execution delayed
until another more humane execution method is identified. This affords the
criminal to live longer, file more appeals, and may not have to die at all.

So even if you are a supporter or not for the death penalty, the use of
sterile needles used in the lethal injection process is first of all of a
safety concern. The other considerations are important but not as
important as providing safety to the other individuals involved in the
process.

I hope this will begin to answer your question as there are still many
other reasons for why we do things the way we do. Keep searching and you
will find the answers you are looking for.

details with questions like these may confuse the human mind.. dont mess with it, cuz sometimes, people get quite crzy..

Hey, one question that passed my mind just now:
How does this site get financed now with all the visitors and whatnot. I doubt that that one measly google ad does much.
IIRC Rain and other staff members used to finance the webiste. Is that still the case?

[Kiezel]

^ I don't know how they get all money. But I believe nearly every staff member is a volunteer.

[Amez]

We're financed by the Catholic church, that's why we take such a tough stance on moderation. bluedot is actually the Pope.

Why is this forum so banhappy? It seems like people get banned very often. Also, do you receive any warning before you get hit by the banhammer?

BTW those are honest questions. I am not trying to troll or anything.

I don't know about the forum members but from a moderators perspective I can say that we are not "banhappy" at all. Our goal is to reduce the number of bans to a minimum. In other words, when we ban a lot of people we admit our own failure. Of course there is always a minority that just can't behave and ends up being banned -this is something that can't be helped.

Sometimes it seems like a lot of people are being banned because there are (and have been especially the last two weeks) a lot of bandodgers. It happens that one person is banned under five different accounts so this makes things look a lot worse than they actually are.

And, to answer your last question: yes, members almost always get a warning before being banned. But when they, for example, start making (a number of) posts that clearly and deliberately break the rules (like posting porn or links to porn) they will end up being banned without a warning.
