Moderating

[Robbie]

I'm not posting them because that would be posting private information . I doubt I'm allowed to tell you via PM either.

A PM is sent with every usernote (at least I send one anyway, and the other mods should), I'll comment on the rest in a minute

i don't think you can really talk for the rest of the mods on the team, because by the obvious lack of communication between everyone, how would you possibly know that all mods do this?

Did you not read the post properly?

He states that all moderators should sent a PM, if they aren't sending them then they aren't doing their job properly.

By the way, when I say EVERY usernote, that excludes ones like 'Watch out, any more misbehaviour and temp ban' etc. The ones about breaking rules and sent PM's I always PM the user about.

I can't see viewing your own usernotes being implemented or working well. I doubt nvr's going to allow it (lol) and it'd just make people moan even more than they do currently when they get an infraction.

Viewing your own usernotes is of no benefit to you, I can't see why anyone would want to see them? Maybe you could be able to see how many you have, idk?

Usernotes are all valid, else they'd be removed, because they're looked at when you report an infraction or warning. I don't see why people want to see their usernotes when it just holds a record of their behaviour on the forum. It's like a behaviour system at school, would you demand to see that. Because every school I've been to certainly don't let you.

My school let us see our behaviour record so we knew what we were doing wrong. I just don't see why I have had so little warning and infractions in comparison to some people but yet I have more user notes that anybody (I gather anyway).

We'd like to see our user notes because then we'd know what we'd done wrong, what is so hard to understand. I wasn't even aware that I had 5 user notes let alone 23 or whatever it may be.

I read the first few posts in the thread up to FlyingJesus' but not past that because they got too long, so sorry if what I say has been said before!

When I designed the system, the theory was for usernotes to only be used as a record for previous rulebreaking. So, for example, if Jake got a PM pointing out to him that calling another member an idiot isn't acceptable, it would be noted in the usernotes with either a copy/paste of the PM or just "User PM'd about insulting other members" (usually a copy/paste because its quicker). On that basis a user should know about most usernotes they have because they'll have received a PM on the same topic. The only ones they won't know about are ones that say "watch out for this guy, he's a known troll, if he kicks off temp ban him" or something like that, and a user generally doesn't get too many of them before being banned.

So if you've managed to accumulate 23 usernotes (there's only like 10 infractable rules so that's pretty impressive!) you've either done a lot to piss off management (which you should know about!) or there's some weird stuff going on!

I don't know about anything. That's the problem. One moderator tells me user notes aren't punishments and then the Assistant Forum Manager tells me I'm going to be banned due to the amount I have and should be banned already.

How are members supposed to know what's going on when nobody in moderating positions knows themselves.

how many do i haveeeee?

Weirdly, you were one of the two members I got someone to check for me to see if you had more than me :8
