3 Strike Warning
Effective immediately, we will be implementing a 3 strike rule for any negative or insulting comments towards other members.
If you pick on another member for their word choice, grammar, subject topic, culture, user name, or any other such thing you will be given an official warning. This type of behavior is very immature and goes against the things that make talkSFU such a great community. All mods have the ability to hand out warnings, and after 3 warnings you will be banned from the forum. This should help expel repeat offenders from the community and keep discussions positive and productive.
Like we learned in kindergarten, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all...
Finally, I'd like to thank all the members that visit the forum on a regular basis and make it such a fun place to hangout and chat. Hopefully we can make this place even better.

that was worth a first strike....
if someone can't take some criticism then they should get the fuck out immediately because things will happen on here just like it happens in public.
this is the most retarded thing to happen to this forum since its creation. i don't see why a 3 strike rule is necessary. if someone offends someone directly, i.e. calls them racist or deragatory names, then they should be banned on the spot.
the things you listed such as attacking peoples , is going to happen regardless. and as time progresses i'm sure more and more people will get banned and this forum will grow less and less active, as it already has become.
guess thats strike one for me.
I'm a pretty laid back person, but calling someone a loser for no reason isn't cool...and over time it's only going to keep new members away. Of course if someone is being derogatory or racist it would be a clear decision, but the 3 strike rule is simply for that grey area where people are just being plain mean (which I view as bullying).
