Moderation Changes

Nothing big, this site has had more than 2 mods befores (3 if you count Royal Diva):

JSin, Superman and Jaf were 3 others that I could think of.

Heh, good one, Red...


Can we assign the Mods points for bad language and avoiding the profanity filters too? :p :D
 
yea now this is a good system. Some people seemed to get banned last year without much reason like playmaker and a few others. Glad to see a more "fair" system.
 
I like the new concept, it shows we are making progress. However, if this is a democracy, where is my vote?

Congrts to HndsmCelt, Kingsgurl, Pixelpusher, Slim and Warhawk

I don't see it listed anywhere, so I'm going to post the names of all the new mods:

HndsmCelt
Kingsgurl
KP
Mr. Slim Citrus
PixelPusher
Warhawk

I think each of them brings a depth of knowledge about our favorite team AND a variety of opinions that should certainly keep things interesting.

Welcome to one and all!

It does seem like a great system, and one that will be interesting to be a part of. Thanks Jeremy, for the opportunity (and the spiffy new flack jacket, very cool)

To your second point, Rome, I will say this. The stuff that gets people banned from sites is not often left up on boards for general perusal.
 
congrats to the new mods. i guess i'll have to watch my p's and q's.

Actually, having just rereviewed the code of conduct here, so far as I can tell, neither p's nor q's are infractions. ;)

Nor, and there seems to be some persistent confusion on this, but nor is this system in any way designed to crack down on things and/or change the standards of the board. Its a change in how those standards are enforced and who enforces them, not in the standards themselves. If somebody got along fine before, they should be able to get along fine now, barring some extreme change in their posting behavior.
 
Must be one of those new fangled school punishments


yep. elementary level. 3 levels of cards, all different colors for levels of punishment. green, white and orange. don't remember now which ones are which except that I didn't want my kids bringing home any. ;)
 
Ah. What happened to the good ol' days when they would just spank your behind or put you in the corner. Not that I ever incurred such punishment:D

So we can probably expect PixelPusher to come up with some deluxe green, white, and orange card GIFs to display in a threatening manner when appropriate, right?

Hmm... still not as scary as the bat.

Wow - take a few days off from peaking at the site and we have new mods! Congrats to each of you. As someone who frequently hangs out here in the middle of the night I think it's great to have extra Mods - I always wondered how the few others handled doing this job, their day job, family and sleep. Thanks for being willing to contribute your talents here!
 
This is not as radical as some of you are making it out to be. 95% of you will never receive an infraction and will never even know the system is in use.

Posters have always been "warned" for inappropriate behavior. Usually Brick or VF21 will send them a PM telling them to knock it off or whatever. The new system just gives us a means to keep track of the warnings, or infractions, and to spot repeat troublemakers. If you haven't been getting regular PMs warning you then don't expect to receive any infraction points.

This is NOT meant to "tighten things down" it's just something new we're trying out.

Also it should be noted that posts can still be edited or deleted immediately if they are inappropriate and any member may be immediately temporarily banned (followed by a vote for permanent status) for obvious "trolling"

I never even read this post J... :)

Good post and I take it your an Apple guy? What about Linux? Since it's so close...

I am assuming this server is hosted on Linux or Unix... Thanks for such a great forum J..
