Forum Moderation Policy

I love these flame wars today!!!!! Btw, ya!!! IF u don't wanna read a post, don't! It's that simple!

. so now the ops on #winbolo are cops? wtf. a lot of them are little punks that have played less winbolo and are younger than me, and now i gotta respect their awthoritie cuz they have a @? give me a break. "

That is something similiar to how I feel too about giving selected mods the power to vote on a post of mine.

Yes, I agree it is fortunate that Elvis has loosened the very tight restrictions this forum used to have - and we've seen the result by the explosions of dialouge and posts occuring here that are hidding among the flames. However, let's not make things half-shitty again just cuz this forum you go to is completely shitty in its moderation policy.

hold up there a second bigguy .... "very tight restrictions" ? .... wtf? ... before this forum had no moderators .... then elvis added 2 .. me and killjoy ... total between us we deleted 4 posts, maybe 5, that all had "die sticks" as the entire point of the post ..... thats tight restrictions? ... you brought this whole bullshit forum policy on yourself .... before we had none, now we have one .. its becuase of YOU that we do .. and its becuase of YOUR actions that I think your a backstabbing jerkface ... along with lrl ... so if you don't like how we as a community build this forum policy that was needed due to your bitching and complaining .... cram it up your ass. personally I think before elvis even implemented the first forum he should have written a policy of this nature or used one from a different forum, that way you little bitchs wouldn't think that your being oppressed. its like going from a society that allows armed robbery and killing of innocent people to a society that jails people who do that ... oh no ... we're being oppressed! ..... grow up ....

I don't know what all happened, but seeing gas thrown on the pile doesn't help any.

guess that depends on what your trying to "help" ... and besides .. if there isn't a little gas throwing ... whats the fun?

The underlying problem with trying to censor or trying to remove the posts that are stupid and silly, is that at the same time, it will prevent and discourage people from posting those posts that are a true gem.

Most of the posts are just stupid. Plain, out and out, STUPID. The only posters I can think of that actually know what "wit" is and use it correctly are kax and stimpy, but they don't post too often.

Honestly, who wants to see a freaking smiley flood? Most people don't. Who wants to be misdirected into reading a stupid poll by a misleading topic? Again, not me.

D00dz I M whey m00r whittie then Kax lolololol :twisted: :) :twisted: :) :D :shock: :oops: :roll: :wink: :evil: :P :x 8) :lol: hehehehehehe :wink: :cry: :oops: :twisted: :idea: :?: :!: :arrow: :P :x :? hahahahahaha u skuk Kax :twisted: :evil: :idea: :cry: :? :D :shock: :o rofl :^) kthxbye

SHITTY STIMPS, I'VE GOT MORE WIT THAN NE1.

my question is .. when is elvis gunna step and and lay down how things are going to be ... this 8 page post has more then discussed things that should or shouldn't be in the policy .. but I see no policy update.

Min

:idea: Is this, in fact, the longest thread ever? 8)

just to keep this thread alive, i too agree that a new policy needs to be put in place, for moderators to follow, as well as more specific guidelines for exactly what is and isnt tolerated on the forum.

ambigiuoty, in my opinion, is the main reason for all the problems

And another attempt to keep it alive and push it along, here is my take on what the policy could be, based on feedback in this thread and my own thoughts:

• winbolo.net moderation policy:
  This policy is intended to create a free and open forum, with minimal restrictions. This is a 'living' document and will continue to be updated as required.
  
  - Moderators (mods) may move topics to a different forum if it is posted in the wrong forum.
  - Mods can post new topics in the news forum to appear on the front page of the site.
  - Mods must make a comment saying that "moved by XYZ" or "locked by XYZ" and provide rational when needed.
  - Mods may lock topics that are inappropriate*, with mod vote to unlock.
  - No posting of illegal material or material that may be inappropriate* to younger people.
  - No posting on specific methods on how to cheat/hack related to winbolo.
  - Mods will be able to move inappropriate* threads to a moderator-only forum for discussion and if it should be moved back.
  - Posts for "deletion" will be kept in the mod-only forum for future reference (and thus not really deleted, just removed from general view).
  - Specific posts (when in otherwise fine thread) can ONLY be edited by a mod if a original copy is created in mod-only forum and voted upon. The edited post needs specific rational.
  - Mods who break policy will get a chance to explain their rational to other mods, and get one warning before mod status is taken away.
  - Elvis makes final decision on removal/addition of mods, but mods can take their own 'non-binding vote'. Elvis may choose to warn only for minor policy breaks.
  
  Moderator voting:
  - Mods will each have a single vote for each case, majority vote wins, with a quorum (minimum) of three moderators participating.
  - Mods will have a minimum of one (1) week to cast a vote, and longer periods can be specified when the vote is started.
  - Elvis will have veto and tie-breaker votes, as well as ability to change this policy at any time.
  - If vote is 'to keep', the original post/thread will be returned to forum.
  
  * Inappriopriate content examples
  - Advertisements or spam for things not bolo related.
  - Porn, warez, cracks, serials, etc.
  - Links to viruses or other computer damaging websites.
  - Double messages (second message can be deleted or moved to mod-only).

  Feel free to add suggestions and trash this, as long as you give constructive alternitives, so we can finish this.

Its absolutely unbelievable that this community has degraded to the point that rules of this nature have to be explicitly documented. unfucking believable. Why can't we just have some maturity for christs sake .... oh ya I remeber ..... becuase people who arn't mods get extremely pissy when they feel someone is stepping on their "freedom of speech" ..... like I said ..... maturity ..... and yes ... this means you fi .. and you lrl ... becuase your the cock monkey's who started this whole fucking bullshit thing in the first place.

p.s. Since we have to have one ... and elvis is obviously not writing it. I vote that sheeps revision be updated to be the current policy.

I think we need to start discussing the forum policy again, and this time, actually come up with one, and post it so that the moderators can do something about certain types of posts, such as spam, and porn.

Min

Yeah, though it was pretty funny to see you own all those nuber topics.

The current policy allows for moderators to lock inappropriate threads, was just me deciding that all the spam was inappropriate and therefore within the current policy to moderate.
