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...

Didnt know this was still running!

But blame that on me being by far the most shoddy mod ever. Oh, and this political stuff, which I have to catch up on in here, cos Talksport dont exactly devote much time to it. Bob Wilson on Joe Harts wonky left wrist was featured more today.

Tons of ace feedback has been collated by the boss, and we have been nattering about stuff, all good I reckon.

But to all them posters I have either vapourised by accident, warned cos I didnt get the joke, or banned cos I was dead grumpy, soz, but get over it.

This is humility. This is leadership. It is an brave stance Roydo as there must be accountability before appeasement. Respect.

The peoples have spoken and the referndum on the mods was less than 48% for.

Make GOT great again.

 

[roydo]

Make GOT great again.

Ok. You too. Deal?

Roydo is the way... and the truth....and the light.
Whoever believeth in him shall forever walk in the light of the Lord GrandOldTeam

I've already made my apology for being a poorer citizen.

But I'm not the one in a postion of power. I am the peoples. This is a mod feedback thread and some errors have been admitted. Not the peoples feedback thread.

[Kurt.]

It took me about 40 minutes to not find the bit on my last new phone, (years ago) that you plug the charger into.

Took Mrs R about 40 seconds.

There is probably more functionality on my parcel scanner for work than I have on my phone!

You can fix this issue by clicking on the profile of @Kurt and then choosing the option BAN from the dropdown box mate.

It's been a pleasing day so far to see a few of the mods, even if @Bruce Wayne was a bit steroided off his eyeballs, to re engage with the peoples.

One by one lads. Give us what is right.
