In recent years this mod team has tried to manage this forum from behind the scenes. Due to the increase of new members and recent activities we feel that it is time to take a more "on-stage" approach to forum moderation.
What does that really mean?
Last May, the Webmasters instituted a list of new tools for Moderators to use to deal with posts and issues that may occur on their forum. Fortunately, we have not had to use these tools very often and were going to continue to monitor as we have always done. We believe that this forum has always been able to be supportive/ fair/ and considerate of other members, mods, and Webmasters.
Recently, this has not been the case. In order to make sure that everyone is on the same page, We have listed the infractions below and for how long they last.
(Category / Points / Expiration )
Argumentative/Sarcastic 10 10 Day(s)
Signature Rule Violation 20 15 Day(s)
