The thing I don't understand is you can get cautioned for pointless posting but the punishment for it is you can't post in the main forum that doesn't increase postcount

surely a more suitable punishment for pointless posters should be only allowing them to post in forums where postcount doesn't rise

This is a good point actually, I guess the thinking behind it was that back in the day, the majority of people that pointless posted spent most of their time in spam, so as punishment, they were banned from their most-used forum. I suppose it's less relevant now.

Wouldn't their posts being moderated be more effective? As they require approving obviously removing any rule breaking posts upon first defence as with it takes time to approve threads and posts thus giving the user a sense "they are not part of the community" as if there's a really interested thread and a cautioned member replies, they may have to wait up to 48 hours before their post is seen, thus they are removed from the central community.

Of course it would be effected but it seems the moderation staff wouldn't take too kindly to the extra workload and in my eyes, if that's the case, then it's time for new moderation staff - staff that care about the quality and well being of the forum.

This seems a good idea and wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

Whilst it's a good idea on paper, I can imagine why they wouldn't want to be approving Skandair's 200+ posts per day.

To be fair though you have to be some clown to get cautioned & not know prior to the caution that it was heading your way.. You get a **** load of warnings 'cause I remember even when I was an arse I bearly got cautioned

Has anyone actually ever got cautioned without purposely acting the bollox? If anyone did, god help ye because jesus christ that'd be a difficult task. Does anyone know what leads to a caution? like how many pms, infractions etc? If anything scrap cautions & just start throwing out weekly bans

I don't know, but for some reason I always had the impression that once you got your 5th infraction you got cautioned?

And I think you're right, I don't remember anyone being cautioned that wasn't deliberately breaking the rules...

It is pretty hard to get an infraction let alone a caution. If you break a major rule such as abusing
Mod features, then yeah it's a straight infraction. But otherwise it's a PM
Then if you offend again, a warning and then infraction. It's 4 infractions for a caution and 6 infractions for a ban.

I wasn't far off with 5 then

And I remember back in the day I got like 3 infractions in a day for 3 pointless posts Times sure have changed (for the better I might add).

You've answered it yourself, if the moderators cant be bothered - get rid.

Wahey!

It only takes a few minutes to approve 200 and odd posts or topics, it's not a hard job and it's easy.
