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...

Stop arse licking. It's embarrassing watching a grown man crawl up another's arse to curry favour and keep your head below the parapet.
I'm fairly certain The Esk is more than capable of fighting his own corner and doesn't need you, nor anybody else, posting paragraph after paragraph of bullshït in his defence.

Go back to stalking your poor female neighbours.

I'm not giving you a slanging match via PM, I'll give you some truths though.

I'm also not apologising for my opinion on the matter, and I don't need the forgiveness of a 4 times banned poster Damo.

I stand by my comments.

Then there really is no shame.

Atrocious.

In your opinion.

Which I'm not too concerned about.

 

[Darth Vader]

No thanks. I am not getting into a PM slanging match.

It's simple for me. You need to apologise to Esk. All will be forgiven.

As for Azul. He needs to calm it right down. Instead of bringing down right embarrassment with some of the recent stuff.

Be a big man and apologise. Simple.

This place is weird

 

[bizzaro]

Several or more posters have entirely embarrassed themselves in the past 24 hours.

The false personal comments also. Show their weakness.

You be the expert on embarrassing yourself Damon. You have an uncanny knack for it.

Can @chicoazul and @Elong use this as their new avatar please.

He's the Turkish General behind the failed coup.
Thanks in advance.

Edit, 'sake that's huge. I've made it smaller now apologies to all.

Oh look, the mods locking and deleting one of my threads for a change. I wasn't aware that discussion on Kenwright and Moshiri wasn't allowed because the truth might hurt. Disgusting.

Says Gif boy.

Your first post on page 62 was an expletive filled rant. None of it actually related to what was being discussed.

Thats why I cannot take you seriously.

People like yourself need to calm it down. Only showing yourself up.

It's a football forum with people squabbling because a transfer hasn't happened exactly when we thought it might do. Lets call a spade a spade here. It's cringeworthy for adults to behave like this. We've spoken about the 'spirit of GOT' but there's no way that this kind of behavior falls into that imo.

There was a reason I said what I said. It's wider than a transfer didn't happen on a certain date. But I explained that and have said enough. You should know me better than that.
