If infractions are given out for rules that are set out and we know about, there really isn't an issue. I think our mods here are a lot more understanding of where our posters are coming from. I think the "frog" comment would have gone by here without a look.

    Those are just my thoughts.
    I don't like the IP system as it was set up on the previous board (not bashing
    that board, just disagreeing with a policy). I believe, as Jody posted here,
    with some sort of board that represents the community, which will decide,
    in serious cases, whether action is to be taken and, if so, what action. In
    the case of banning (not necessarily suspension . . . see my previous post),
    however, I believe in a unanimous vote, not majority.

    I do not believe a moderator should be saddled with that responsibility.

    I also believe that, in the case of banning (again, not necessarily suspension),
    the poster in question should be allowed to make a statement on his/her
    own behalf before advisory board (or whatever we'll call it) makes the decision.

    Regarding some sort of "IP" system, I do believe the moderators need a
    method of record keeping, but one that does not take a whole lot of time
    and effort since we are working and/or family people. The "IP" feature in
    this software is ideal, and it can be implemented without accumulation of
    actual points. But some sort of history is necessary to keep track of
    especially problem posters.

    I might come up with more later, but, as I implied, I'm working.

    I'd say the IP system could work pretty well if all the guidelines were laid out before hand...

    Otherwise, the best bet would be a group decision by a few of the mods.

    Thank you top, I was more interested in your opinion now that you have been on both sides of the "force" lol. If we don't go for that, i would agree with the vote of the moderators. I don't really like the trial by committee. A lot of personal opinions can come in there and no need to spread the power any more. That's just my opinion. I think our moderators here are pretty good at their job.

    I would prefer some discussion between mods before a suspension is issued to anyone. I think that is the fairest way. So I guess option 2 would be my choice.

    This isn't a "bash the mods" thread, for then it could very easily turn into a "bash the posters bashing the mods" thread.

    Please give constructive input on the subject at hand or resist the temptation to hit "Submit Reply".

    Thanks

    Anyway, I like what the Freak used. Get an infraction, and you get a certain amount of points against you. Exceed the limit, you get a time out. Repeat offenders get longer, which could eventually lead to an all out permanent ban.

    Some posts (full nudity, etc.) would lead to an immediate ban. That system seems fair and balanced.

    Again, JMO.

    I suggest that the one who starts the mud slinging 1st, gets in more trouble then the guy who is simply defending himself. And the mods have to be fair and unbiased.

    By and large, the mods here are fair and unbiased. They do a great job. Of course there will always be a few whiners and such, but you can't please everyone.

    I appreciate that sentiment, but I am a firm believer in this being a community and the community discussing how we should do things, and then I attempt to implement what the community "as a whole" wants. I am not a believer in one person making the decisions for a message board/online community.
