This thread however is not a place to flame moderation staff or spam, all posts must abide by forum rules and must discuss valid issues or raise a valid idea or point. Last update to rules: 19th November 2010 -------------------- |

Thank you JdB I would agree with you there.
I think the deep point of this discussion should not be looking at the enforcement of the rules as a generalization but looking into which rules should be enforced and how. Personally I feel 72h PR for essentially posting in the wrong thread, is harsh. The problem could be sorted through editing by removing the text and asking for it to be reposted here. PRs and Warn blocks, i feel, should only be used when a major rule is broken. For example, the posting of elicit material or flaming. Everyone knows the major house rules and your right, we are all friends here. Proper rule breaking is a rare occurrence on the board and a sensible moderating style should reflect that cheers, Carver -------------------- |

Proper rule breaking is a rare occurrence on the board and a sensible moderating style should reflect that cheers, Carver He didn't get a 72hr PR for just posting in the wrong thread on it's own. This case was exactly like that of Brataccas (last week if I remember correctly), someone broke the rules, a notice was posted correcting a member, and someone openly (in the wrong place) criticised the decision. In this particular case the prior notice was to stop criticising moderating decisions outside of the designated thread. That made it a 1+1 case, where prior actions had obviously failed to produce the desired result. Again quoting myself from the Moderators section: "the only ones we really enforce (/crack down on) are those for image size, place of discussing moderation, porn, warez, cracks, MP cheats and spam outside of the Chatter, Word Games & Jokes section." I personally don't agree with a PR + WB being given for posting a 100kb+ image in the Combat Photography (and I never even post images there!), but I never went around criticising the decision of a moderator to give that penalty (which is clearly mentioned for all to see) in public, especially not after a moderator has asked members no to do that. QUOTE The problem could be sorted through editing by removing the text and asking for it to be reposted here. I did, I moved the content of two posts from pMaster and Helping Hand into the Forum Moderation Feedback thread where they belonged, and asked people to please stop doing that, Helping Hand criticised that decision in the Community Chatter thread none the less. Clearly not in the place where it should be. I can accept that people post in the wrong thread, either by mistake, or because they feel it belongs somewhere else, but what Helping Hand did is pure defiance, just like Brataccas a while ago. QUOTE but if we can't post a vid which could be an example for a discussion elsewhere than in the vid thread. that becomes crazy. I left a few videos in the Community Chatter thread where they were, as that is the only place besides the Video thread to post a number of unrelated videos (while not breaking the forum rules for content). Certain dedicated threads exist so it is easier for members to find the content they like, and to be able to keep threads on-topic -------------------- |
