Weekend Moderation Reminder

[AB Editor]

Good Day Everyone!

These rules: http://www.theanswerb.../Question1006509.html

Still apply. It seemed to work last weekend although you may blame the sunshine (moonlight, boogie etc) for the reasonably quiet friday night...

Remember, be naughty this weekend and you'll be suspended.

The process from then on:

* Reviewed on Monday by editorial team
* Results in:
1>> 1 week suspension if the suspension was correct
2>> Reinstatement for those suspended "in error"
* Returning with another name during a suspension will see you excluded.
* Users will be reinstated the following Monday all going well.

Apologies to the majority of users who are, naturally, excellent to each other.

Also: Please, if you have any more suggestions for this: http://www.theanswerb.../Question1005647.html please air them soon!

You say that^ a lot, sqad.
But what, then, or whom, do you suggest actually carries out the editorial/moderating duties ?

I think 'offensive' on this forum should be treated as having the very narrowest of definitions.........and anyone finding it too narrow is at perfect liberty to take themselves and their broader-mind off to a more receptive forum.

In my opinion............

<<<<<But what, then, or whom, do you suggest actually carries out the editorial/moderating duties ? >>>>

This is the point that requires addressing in my opinion, but not in the opinion of the Ed+team...........and I accept this. Until and unless we are clear of the anatomy of the supervisory team, we will be working in the dark and accusations and doubts will continue to fly around.

<<<<think 'offensive' on this forum should be treated as having the very narrowest of definitions..>>>>

and indeed the Ed team agrees and they are implemented.....but again this "narrowest of definitions" is so vague as to vary from one moderator to another.
team
I accept the thoughts and decisions of the Ed team, but clearly a problem exists with many people.

Yes one can say if you can;t stand the heat then get out of the kitchen, but is that the way to run a show?....maybe it is.

In my opinion.........

[jackthehat]

Right.........
You want to know who the Moderators are ?

Why didn't you say ?

[ChuckFickens]

I assume all the people saying they are unclear of what might be deemed offensive walk around permanently with a little guide book of what might be found offensive in their pocket that they refer to all the time in real life.

Or is it just on this site that people seem to require spoon feeding as to what may be regarded offensive?

[Sqad]

Chuck....no notebook needed, just consistency.....manner really offensive remarks remain unpunished.....other ?less milder forms....get suspended.

JTH..............another JTH one line answer.....no. that is only the part of the problem......if indeed there is one?

[ummmm]

But you are allowed to offensive on here. You only have to look at the news section...

[cazzz1975]

I might not all be down to moderating either sqad, the report button is available to everyone for the purpose of reporting offensive comments. people were advised by the ed to use the report fecility, that is what its there for!.

Hi Spare.....I cannot resist commenting that you appear to wish people to be kept in the dark. Hence the reason you suggestion along with a cup of tea:-)

[ummmm]

Yep - I had a busy day reporting Man-On-The-Top-Of-The-Clapham-Omnibus yesterday :-)

[mrs.chappie]

Ummmm, you were friends with Kn0bby for a long time. Do you know what you did to set him off on this vendetta he seems to have with you?

[jackthehat]

I see two types of offensive posts.
1. Posts full of expletives, name-calling and personal digs.
2. Almost as (1) but with more moderate language, general opinion and a modicum of intelligence employed as to terms and the usage of more descriptive language.

(1) will be removed more often than (2), but that is as it should be.

[tiggerblue10]

Its not just the offensive ones posts that get pulled. There are some that come under the "Pure Stupidity" category.

[mccfluff]

lol i;ve been guilty on more than one occasion

[tiggerblue10]

Hands up! Me too. Lol

[ummmm]

Define 'friends' MrsChappie...

[mrs.chappie]

Cyberly (is that a word?) corresponding with each other in a reasonable/civil manner, even when you disagree on something.

He was on AB for a long time before getting the chop and I didn't noticed unpleasantness from him towards you....or at least, not like he is now. He seems to be going overboard with it :o(

[ummmm]

Well does that not suggest he has a screw loose?

[mrs.chappie]

Yes it does....especially if nothing's happened to start him off.
