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...

I havent been banned for ages mate, well apart from when I was banned for 2 weeks for making a leaving thread!

I obey the law and the law leaves me be.

Have you considered that Friend?

The leaving thread shows what minerals you made from: lard and bish.

Send big whatsapp to all your clique friends telling them how you gonna take back the streets then cling to Damo and get down on your knees in front of the mods when it's time to stand.

It's ok. They all seem you.

Your chins got tested in this thread and every single one of them wobbled along with your legs.

No backbone. You're a jellyfish. A fat forum jellyfish, but with no sting.

I said it exactly right first time.

Orly played too many angles and got caught out. Man needs to wear his colours with pride and take his fight to the street old school

If I may, there should be a report thread and report poster option. I say this because those two transfer threads (Witsel and Mata) are a complete joke. It's pages of posters winding up cry arses, the fake ITK stuff is stupid and only superseded by those who believe them. It's clogging the thread up and making it tougher to find the decent posters who do actually know some stuff. Pages of crap.

To be honest mate, I hope you don't think that anyone waits on that webpage for info, SSN would have it prior to Everton confirming. That doesn't excuse the crap that's going on in those two threads.
