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;

Screen Shot 2016-06-24 at 20.53.51.webp

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...

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

The false personal comments also. Show their weakness.

There was no personal comments and there would be no personal comments on those we were talking about.

There will however be personal comments about you, you bad rash on the anus of all mods because you're terrified of being banned, again.

You wretched snivelling human being.

No mate. I'm just a bit perplexed by what you're trying to achieve with this sort of behaviour.

Its not really achieving anything is it?

'You wretched snivelling human being'


I mean what does that achieve really?

Seriously. This forum is populated by many different people with different views. But you seem to have gone off on one. Frankly you're showing yourself up with some of this nonsense.

I'll just keep enjoying the forum. For what it is. A place to discuss stuff.

Think you need to remind yourself of this too.

There no one less qualified to claim forum high ground than you plums. Agog you even tried that angle. You've been banned multipe times permanently. Yet here you are. Still obsessing over small things.

I'm not trying to claim anything.

I merely made it very clear you were out of order yesterday regarding Esk and you're out of order today with all these comments you've sent to me.

The fact I've been banned is nothing to do with anything. Its history.

The only obsession at the moment seems to be from you to get your own way on the forum. Quite what you actually want isn't quite clear though.


So I say again. Tone it down a bit please and chill out.

The way you're going about things at the moment is just alienating a lot of people.

Damo you utter freak you're neither a mod or a psychologist. So pipe down or I'll hound you until you have you next hissy fit threatening to leave the board you texan.

When you climb from up the mod's arses and throw another twenty quid on the front page to try and bribe not being banned you may realise that we know a lot more than you do. And words that were said were nothing personal at all against someone I like, but instead honest words that I've also been subject to in the months before from said person.

So stay out of something that's got nothing to do with you. Sticking your little rat nose in and trying to curry favour with the mods.

Towards you this is my final post. Take it to PM if you want. But you won't. As you want the attention.

Lizard.

I can see its obviously a waste of time discussing this with you.

You simply will not be told to relax or calm it down.


I bet you couldn't even say what you're trying to achieve with all this behaviour either.
