I'd agree this here would be censoring.

Gee, can we show a little less class and decency?
As for the OP, it's a lose-lose situation. I helped run a LISTSERV back in the day, and whether you're nice in pointing out rule violations or not-so-nice in pointing them out, you offend someone.
Maybe the thing to do, if possible, is simply delete the violating post to be replaced with something like

Any way you do it, moderating boards like this is a thankless job. (So, thanks!)
I also want to add that it's pretty ballsy to come out and ask for the ability to be able to ban people out in the open. It really doesn't seem necessary to ban people for using one subforum incorrectly as phantastisch said.

Karma is a bitch. Don't forget to wear a condom. Really, not censoring. Just teaching people how to follow guidelines. I agree with OP. If guidelines not followed why have them?

It makes sense to have one thread to bunch all links and date to news thread, so much cleanser and
neat.
I believe I should be given the power to temporary ban people for 3 days for not following guideline, especially after not fixing their shit after I give a nasty reply and a nasty PM.
Are you the new press officer? Can you remove that hive of scum and plagiarism that calls itself cryptocoinnews?
I don't think a global ban of any kind would be justified for violating the subboard-rules in one subboard. Temp banning from posting in this sub-board on the other hand...
Is it being used incorrectly that much? I honestly have no idea as I hardly look in there, but how many posts per week (an average) would you say are wrong?
Try being friendly in your PMs letting them know about the guidelines. Otherwise, just fix it and move on. Only request a ban if it gets serious.
My goal is to reduce the need to fix press thread to zero so that I literally eliminate the need for moderation. If people aren't reading my PM or showing that they understand the guideline, then it is one more person to moderate in the future.
With a temporary ban, I can force them to learn rather than avoiding reading the thread they post in or avoiding reading PM.

kiba, I consider myself your biggest fan, and I fully support your war on the chaos and disorganization that those scumbags bring to the press section!
Where do I vote? [kiba 4 prezdent!]
