Community Reps Layout
Just trying to point out, that if a staff member from a site is a CR on here, they can not ban members from here trading invites.Quote:
Community Reps
Those that are BT staff and members at FST may request their own rank so it’s clear who they are on the site. Those with the rank are required to have titles with the site their representing and their staff position. After all, a “Rep” is “representing” their site, so displaying your tracker in your Custom User Title below your name is appropriate. “Reps” are welcome to use asterisks if they choose. The usergroup is titled “Community Reps” with its own rank image.
Filters
“Community Reps” at private sites may request their URL to be filtered. They may also request images that are an issue to be removed, such as those that disclose a URL or other privileged information. FST members that bypass filters with spaces or similar are warned and could be locked or banned from the site.
Account Trading
“Community Reps” that are active on FST and have issue with account trades are asked to post politely in threads that are an issue. Then post a report regarding it. The thread will be trashed or edited and the member will be contacted. We do ask “Community Reps” are active on the site so it’s a joint effort educating members regarding their rules.
“Community Reps” are required to be civil as slamming members simply doesn’t work. They are welcome to PM members nicely regarding their rules. Most will notice the “Community Reps” rank and step in line. We want to work together to sort these issues. There is a list of sites represented by active “Community Reps” on FST against account trading posted in a sticky in the Invites section.
Invite Trading
The Staff at FST does not believe invite trading is an issue. We’ve found most BT staff we’ve spoken with agree on this. Sites that have issue mostly don’t have them or keep them limited. It’s strange to have invites and then chase and ban those trading them. Many sites give invites to members as a reward for participation, and its clear some members want them to trade and get into other sites.
We’re aware some sites might not agree on this policy, though it’s the policy we’ve chose to take. If you’re here to ban invite traders, don’t ask for “Community Rep” rank on the site. Its better you choose to be a rouge element, although if this is road you choose you will be dealt with as such.
Cheaters
“Community Reps” are able to inform FST Staff regarding cheaters in the Report Section on the site. This is for heavy offenders and proof should be supplied. FST Staff will then review it. Then will choose what to note the members account or lock them from the Invites section.
Scammers
Some members purpose on FST is to scam others. Most often we deal with these on our own banning them from the site. For those that are heavy offenders we may give “Community Reps” details regarding those members. We ask they review it and choose what to do with it.
Summary
We believe this approach with “Community Reps” will bring the community closer together. If you agree to the above you may contact FST Staff to request Community Staff rank...
I had weeks contemplating this rule with my staff.
true stuff stoi
but as said, most com. rep don't read com. rep faq but expect us to read faq of their site
as for iTS com. rep, there are couple more iTS staffer here (other than com. rep) so i guess they (non-com. rep staffer) can ban traders :P
P.S. has any staffer been removed from com. rep position because he banned a trader from FST?
Hmmm.... Spam is everywere...
actually i asked Detale this when i got offered the job, and no they cannot(or they are not supposed to anyway).
I am not trying to make any enemies here with other trackers, far from it, but i do think if you expect your members to follow your rules on your tracker, that if you do accept a CR position you should follow the rules of FST.
Maybe im in a minority though on this lol
Everyone has choices to make. Those choices may result in severe consequences or happiness.
I would say minority in caring about it.
As I have mentioned before, staff take the CR position in order to better serve the community. FST just throws that in inorder to make users think that they wont be busted for trading.
I know that most sysops ARE strongly against invite trading, however they thought that having a community rep here for general help to members was important.
This lame rule is like the fine print on a contract...
"By becoming a community rep, youll be an asset here and help users with problems with your tracker.*"
*By accepting this job, we now own your soul, your mom's sexy mail order outfits, and your sisters virginity
:lol:
sorry but i have to disagree.
if a user of your tracker gets banned for low ratio, most staff will turn around and say "you should have read the Rules/FAQ"
well to me the same applies here.
if you cant follow the rules, then dont become a CR, its pretty bloody simple in my book.
Agree with U Stoi....
Fatcat, maybe U should let a community rep take over here as I don't ur doin a very good job only creating more tention... no offense
