Blues,

We're busier than ever;

Screen Shot 2016-06-24 at 21.08.44.webp

This has prompted us, over in our plush mod central - to discuss our moderating stance for the season ahead.

The crux of the discussion is - can we moderate GrandOldTeam a little more leniently? Have we as a moderating setup become a bit miserable? (don't answer that...).

Anyway - it would be good to have some feedback on the below.
  • What should the moderating warning system be?
As in, how should the moderators of your Everton forum, moderate.

We last revised our community guidelines in 2008 - I think they're still applicable, but I think we could improve on how we ask and prompt the community to follow the guidelines.

Currently, if a moderator sees a post that goes against our guidelines - they hit 'warn' and have a predetermined setup like so;

These allocate warning points - as below;

Warning System
30 Points = Suspended for 2 Days.
60 points = Suspended For 7 Days.
80 points = Suspended For 14 Days.
100 points = Permanently Banned.

Inappropriate Language: 10 points
General Behaviour Warning: 20 points
Off Topic: 20 points
Minor Spamming: 20 points
Posting Abusive/Offensive Material: 60 points
Spammed Advertisements: 100 points
10 and 20 point infractions expire after 30 days, the rest after 45 days.

The lower value warnings can be issued as a warning (0 points) at the discretion of the staff member.

You will be automatically notified via private message if you receive a warning - meaning the points wont mount up without you realising.

So...
Can our system be better?

Is it easily understood?

Is it fair?

How do we keep GrandOldTeam 'sound' and civil, but don't go to far and lose the fun.

Above all - If you could setup the moderating structure for GOT, what would it be?

I know it's difficult blues, but serious suggestions/feedback please...

You* report posts instead of having a laugh. You get people banned because you're offended about a stranger on the internet saying things. You get threads closed because you find them morally offensive.

*You is generic to the stereotyped minority.

lol despite being name checked and basically used as an example.

I don't think in the few years posting here I have ever had any influence on a thread being locked. Not once, not a single one.

Plus I don't think there is much I take offense at.

I've asked numerous times for you to stop your personal agenda. Please leave the thread open for valued mod feedback. Not your paranoia and lamentable prejudices. Any more and I'll report your posts. Thank you.

As posted above I have never had a thread banned. And to be honest rather than run around being offended I actually call people on it in the open. Not through pms but actual here where everyone can see.

I keep getting threw in this group but I don't think I have ever done any of these things, especially when running close to being told off or thread banned myself. The only poster I ever had banned basically logged on and hurled abuse at me, and even then at that point they were banning themselves by doing it.

You're an example of the minority. The nazi jokes for example, you dug your own grave with those, you made a silly comment one day and we all had a laugh, except yourself. You've got to learn to laugh this shizz off man.

But I don't want this to be about one person or a bickering match, it was just an example, I'm sure you're good people on the whole Ash.

Thing is mate that is too far in the big picture just filling threads with fascist remarks at a single poster. There is having a laugh and then there is just plain wrong.

By all means I take my stick elsewhere, vaping, pies , hell I even get the micky taken about my other half and that is all perfectly fine in my eyes. This isn't a personal thing and I talk about myself as reference only.

But a Chinese nationality fan signs up and talks about the club in the right thread and gets racial stereotype abuse every time he does? Hardly having a laugh at that point.
