Moderation Changes Cont.

[jrh2002]

You love comparing us to the government .

When was this :S?

An old forum administrator had their access masks set to see every single forum including the AGM forum.

You are very much like the government but I cant decide if your Tony Blair or Gordon Brown :eusa_whis

Do we get a pm to tell us of warnings? I see minty asked but you never replied.

Oh I like how your asking opinions but is there a way to stop being forced to go to a page? If you force people to go to your page then I would expect them to vote differently to what they would if they went to a thread to vote out of interest.

Yes all users get pms when they are given warnings for the time being.

We've been told all users do but it's because of a bug! So for the time being, yes.

This is not a bump as I have been on holiday.

I agree with Garion pretty much but will see how it goes. My gut feeling
is that taking the human element out of banning which includes making a common sense decision is a retrograde step and will lead to quite a few problems and could be abused by staff if they are that way inclined and somebody could be cautioned very swiftly. Are the bans going to be audited?

harder to get infractions

It is which is why moderators tend to give warnings. Obviously harsh rule breaking will still always will be infracted.

because things like calling someone a moron is a HARSH rule break

Being rude darling, always has been a harsh rule.

As you know, all forms of insults are dealt with severely nowadays. If you choose insulting to be the rule you break often then you'll be banned pretty swiftly. Most rule breaks though, only result in a warning so if you get lots of infractions you've only yourself to blame!

Most super mods could wreak a fair bit of havoc on the forum too if they were that way inclined, but I think we have to assume that staff aren't going to abuse their powers. We have to assume everyone is innocent until proven guilty otherwise we don't get any staff at all!
