Thanks for posting this, l_p_4_7; it's exactly how the Mod team thinks about it.Originally posted by l_p_4_7@9 September 2003 - 19:49
IMO:
First of all, consistent offenders of stupid posts and/or posts in wrong sections should be PMed by a MOD and warned, then if they continue, futher action should be taken (e.g. temporary or permanent ban).
MODs should be notified of such users (where appropriate) with evidence (links etc) and then the MOD will make the decision as to whether or not its necessary to warn the offender.
Opinions of other forum users should be kept to yourself unless you think they are affecting the forum in a bad way. If this is the case, a PM to a MOD (as mentioned above) will help the situation, instead of causing more trouble than it's worth with a name-and-shame list .
Besides that: we see this thing called Warning Level under each user who posts, which we raise or lower when appropriate, giving us the possibility to keep a list of everything he or she did 'wrong'.
If the level gets too high, and usual after some warnings by PM, we can put him or her on moderation.
