How We Do Things
After seeing a some posts from a few members about "abuse of power" I decided it was time for some enlightenment as well as not deterring other threads topics .
First when any moderator pops in a thread and asks users not to behave in a certain manner then we have reasons for doing so and it`s best not to keep engaging in that manner .
Also when an official warning is given absolutely no one knows about it except the user of course and the moderators . Now if the user then decides to make it public by advertising in threads then naturally everyone who reads it will know about it . Also at no time will any moderator make it known who receives a warning .
Banning is taken very seriously by us and is not done on a whim by any moderator . The only reason a spur of the moment ban will occur is from ad spam or blatant rules violations .
A few things we do concerning warnings and bans :
In the event that a warning or ban is considered or cordoned it is discussed by the moderators at length and with links to the offending posts so that we can all see the extent of the post . Generally we try to contact the user by PM . Also users usually get at least one official warning before advancing to the next stage . Depending on the severity of the post or posts a user may receive more than one warning before advancing on .
Anyway I just wanted every user of this forum to know what they can expect from us (moderators)
