Don't you think it will make following the rules more of a breeze if fines where implemented. This would make people think twice knowing that their hard earned FRIH$ can be seize in the event of an infraction.
Fines
I think this would make the mods a bit too powerful - and i think this power, in particular, might corrupt somewhat.
Besides everybody makes mistakes and there need to be space for this - it shouldnt be too dificult being a "new member"

If anything, I would argue this the other way around. Mods can already censor posts as they please so if anything fining would be a lesser power making it useless since no-one uses $FRIH for anything anyway.
^ You haven't been in the market place yet have you? FRIH$ actually do have a use if you actually try to use them.

Good point - fining does seem rather less dangerous than warning / banning!
I am reasonably active in the marketplace but i do actually think frih$ are pretty useless...the amount of graphics that one person can need is very limited and with people doing dewcent graphics for as little as 5-10 frih$, everybody can afford it...
With FriH$ it's useless.
Maybe Points? No way.
Fines = bad idea.
Btw, if Steve notices a mod/jr. admin using their 'power' too much, that mod/jr. admin will no longer hold his rank.
Don't worry. Just follow the basic rules, keep posting and everything will be just fine

No offences but I disagree a 110% fines are way less then a warning and would stop spammers who makes posts with just similes for extra frih$ or one word (ect) I have seen it done in many fourms and I like it so much I mite inplant it on my own fourm soon.

Don't worry, we know how it is. One member has a completely biased, and not to mention wrong, opinion and it passes on. I personally am 50/50 on the idea. The system to make this possible is already in place, and I seriously doubt it'll go to any of the staff's heads if we have to use it daily, but in my opinion right now its not really needed. Fines would mostly be sent to those I'm guessing who have not following a posting guideline, is this correct ? Or are you suggestion that fines should be for everything, including sigs, etc ? The thing is new users that have bad posts (that are spamming or just post things from other sites) are usually banned without question so fines will not help here.
I think it may be good but only in the future when more pressing matters are sorted out.
^ I was referring to minor infractions and nothing serious, It would be silly to just give fines for repeat spamming offences.

Naa, Fines for spamming is not such a good idea. And i think we have disscussed this earlier too
If i am a bit low on Points but high on FRIH$s then i did risk getting fined just to get my points up. Also fines will mean that i can get away with small offences without a warning.
One more thing to notice is that the work load of the mods will increase dramatically. Ever wondered how much work they will have to do. Like first delete the spam then fine the spammer or rule breaker.
Fines could be used for Offences other than Spamming like, improper Avatar r too big a sig.

Look, FriHost is a professional board.
We don't have room for these kind of games.
Kids who don't want to read the rules, but only want to spam here to get a hosting for their lame site will be banned. End of story.
Serious people won't break the rules from the beginning(even if they haven't read the rules) and those people we want here on FriHost. (In my opinion and my opinion only)
I mean, fining people with digital/unreal money? That's just ridiculous.
Maybe that's good for TeenZine's forum, but not for FriHost.
Thank you.

And yes dont forget to add this
LOUSY SPELLING AND GRAMMAR: 2000 Frih$
You ll probably be bankrupt a million times over
Quit giving dumb suggestions
Anyway, I too think this would unnecessarily increase the workload of the moderators..
And since some of them are busy and seem to login only once in a while, the other mods will feel the pain
And if this tedious process leads to frustration in mods, nobody can guess what they can do(they are human too, not gods)
That was exemplified earlier.

I am inclined to agree with this statement and it is not ridiculous at all.
Everybody including mods and admins, bondings included are human indeed and problems will definitely arise.
Just because they are mods DOES NOT mean they are saints and will forgive everything we do.
In case we annoy them, unlike annoying other users, this might get us a warning
And it is wise not to risk it. Period.
Well, scorpio, unlike some people(won't point a finger), I never mix up between a job/hobby and feelings. At least I try.
Means I will not give one a warning or anything like that just 'cause that one person annoyed me or whatever.

Sure you wont helios, sure you wont
And yes, dont ask me what that means cause I aint gonna tell
No I'm not.
Sometimes I just piss people off for fun, though

From my point of view, giving out a warning is easier than fining. A warning is very clear where as a fine would be cnfusing to some members and I dont have the time to reply to 'My $frih have disappeared' threads 
Agree 100%
Mods can already modify users frih. If fines were introduced Bondings would still be able to see who had modified who's frih. Therefore I cant see how any mods would become corrupt in any way regarding this issue at least

What I mean is this:
If a mod decides to take out his personal vendetta on somebody, then at the present state can send a warning to him for some reason which can be picked out of the air
After all, every user makes mistakes somewhere down the line
If this happens, the mod can justify his or her action to the admin by pointing to those few threads where a user might have erred
These errors might have happened earlier but the mod, just for the sake of warning a person can pick it out
This might sound to far fetched, but it is definitely possible and no one can deny that
Why should the mods be given an official permission to fine people?
Because they are way more responsible. And I don't think there are going to be flame wars know that n4l broke away.

Like TeenZine said, we have a responsibility. Also note that Frih$ are not actual money, I thought you would have noticed this by name. Were entitled to send members warnings, as your probably aware of, so fining people will be no different. I am however now greatly but off on the idea.
The suggestion has however been heard and Bonduings has more than likely already noticed this thread. There is however opposition from the staff so it is likely that this will not happen.
-locked- to stop the upcoming flaming war.
As you might have noticed, or not... the warning system is very efficient.
We don't actually NEED an alternative.
