Our 'Rules' + Moderator Defaults

[GrandOldTeam]

Blues,

We're busier than ever;



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...

Whatever it is you get out of cryarsing about him all the time.

You are his cum slut. Open your mouth...

I can't see his posts anymore.

So not too sure where you are going with this.....

@orly needs his wings clipping. He's a little ratsnake.

You might wanna reconsider this battle.

Nah let him crack on mate. It's an Everton forum, I couldn't really care less

 

[chicoazul]

Absolutely unreal.

You've completely lost it this evening.

We see the likes orly. We see your dance. Don't try and play the players.

You're right mate, I'm doing my usual, liking absolutely everything. When it's me encouraging others to lose their heads in arguments and we're on the same side on it, you've been in absolute soak.

I'm having a wonderful time here. You've managed to take yourself down, over absolutely nothing.

Don't try and play the players. It's a forum. You've absolutely lost your head here

[BlueLlama]

All bets are off tonight.

[Groucho]

Lads this thread was for feedback, not a general insults opportunity.

Just sayin', is all...

No, I'm quite happy. I've been banned a few times, doubtless I'll get banned again.

I do note with quite a lot of interest that when there was going to be a big charge at the end of the season, I got banned quite quickly, and yet everyone else mysteriously didn't follow quite as hot. Plenty talking a good game.
