New Board Rules.

[DanB]

Courtesy. This shouuld be number one rule on the moderator guidelines.

Very true. For proof it read this post https://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/showp...63&postcount=8, it does put people off

[Entity101]

However, there are some that do. So to prevent this becoming an issue, why not send a PM to people who get their stuff deleted with a short explanitory note.

In a lot of cases it is clear to everybody why a post gets deleted or a thread closed. Specially with flames and off-topic posts.

Some members keep doing what they do even if we send a PM, so why bother sending a PM?

Manners.

We cant get at them, if we arent doing it properly.

Remember Billy "I got no PMs" Dean?.... except we had copies of the PMs back and forth..

I think manners went out of the window a long time ago.

The key word here is 'some'. As the overwhelming majority of members are pretty decent people, I will happily pm people if I delete or close threads. Its the least I can do....and I guess I should expect some flack if I don't. Although by PM rather than a thread on the board would be nice.

Those that choose to ignore pm's are just asking for moderation though....

Hehe Entity cracks me up - and his post was deleted!

Now what about my initial points about the accountability of the mod team.

Thanks RF and Sara. That is more or less what I was about to type.

[Rat Faced]

The Mod Team is accountable to the Admin Team.

Individual Mods are accountable to the Mod/Admin Team

[manker]

That's not what I meant.

Can members of the board expect members of the team to account for their actions when questioned.

Members aren't allowed to question the mods

Decisions of the Administrators or Moderators ARE NOT up to public discussion or questioning and will not be tolerated. Complaints concerning moderators or their actions may be discussed with that moderator or brought to the attention of an administrator by means of a Private Message (PM).
