Happy Face 29 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Gentlemen, this is not a democracy. None of you were democratically elected, you have no constituents, you have no accountability. The simple question that needs to be answered is, 'will banning this member improve the board?' If the answer is yes then ban them, no need to complicate the issue. It's been complicated for years. Why not simplify it so even the simplest member and their mates can't complain when they're hoyed oot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Agreed, I think people calling for bans are childish. I don't want anyone banned and I don't want anyone to be demanded to be banned if they have done very little wrong. However, it seems little things piss people off so let's try and get rid of the little things. The irony is that me and HF couldn't give a fuck but given the infantile reactions of people "OH MY GOD HE SAID SOMETHING NEGATIVE I CAN'T IGNORE THIS AND ITS SPOLIT MY EVENING" it needs to be solved.

Christmas Tree 4812 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 This smells a lot like the old magician's misdirection. TA-DAAAAA! Everybody look over here at the new rules, while the virus reinfects the board. Let's just get to the big reveal that everyone gives a shit about instead of this underwhelming display of fake flowers from up your sleeve.

ewerk 31172 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 It's been complicated for years. Why not simplify it so even the simplest member and their mates can't complain when they're hoyed oot. What complaints have there been in the past over bannings? The only problem I can remember is the fuss over one member who hasn't been banned (I don't have a position either way). You're all big boys on the moderation team, you're fit to make decisions without having to justify them to anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7161 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 There's moderation and then there's just deleting . . . .stuff you don't want to hear 'gorgeous' So is chatting up the mods now banned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4812 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 This is what happens when you have more mods than is required. We have Ant to do the techie stuff, Ketsbaia is the work experience boy and the rest of your appear to be moderators without portfolio. Don't think of yourselves as forum policemen, more like members of COBRA. Largely in the background, unnoticed, until you're called into action, at which time we need men (and a woman) with balls to take the action that is needed and to instruct the marksman to take the shot. Basically, stop trying to create a role for yourselves that is neither needed nor wanted. Absolutely spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 On my conspiracy forum people get banned everyday but nobody notices (unless it's a old member) cause there are 4,000 members and hundreds of post everyday. The real issue here is that we honestly feel that we know each other quite well and therefore it is harder to take action. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4812 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Can you define that then please? I think it's fine as it is and no-one should get banned or further moderated, but the concensus seems to be there are problems that need addressing which aren't defined in the rules, so why can't those that see a problem suggest moderating guidelines, rather than have a random few foist them on the forum? Going on what I've read, something like.... Thread Blitzing - Responding in 5 threads at once with quick fire smileys and one or two word responses will see all of those posts deleted and 1 week in the creche. Thread derailing - Any posts that doesn't respect the subject of the opening post will be moved to a thread it does belong in. Repeatedly derailing thread gets 1 week in the creche. Thread mining - Digging up threads from the past for nothing more than a smiley, or a 1 or 2 word dig gets 1 week in the creche. Threads can be resurrected for informed/detailed posts. Quoting an old post in a new thread to laugh or have a dig is fine. 2ToTango - Any thread that attracts multiple complaints to the mod team will be locked. The 2 top posters in that thread will be placed in the creche for a week. 3 Strikes and Out - Anyone sent to the creche in 3 seperate instances will be banned permanantly. The concensus amongst forum users is that there was ONE problem and that ONE problem needed sorting. That ONE problem has had many warnings and not changed. It either need ONE person to change or the moderating team to act. The wheel does not need re-inventing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who doesn't like it can fuck to http://z3.invisionfree.com/NUFCforum/index.php Anyway, do whatever you want. The new rules aren't going to affect 99% of the users on here and ultimately no one really gives a fuck. I understand why you wanted to consult the users on the new rules but really people just need strong leadership and you need an iron fist. So get the admin/mods to agree on a list of rules and be done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
