Forum Rules Updated

In an effort to make them easier to find, the forum rules now have their own page: https://www.fiatforum.com/rules.html

We're also now rolling out the infraction system (details can also be seen on the rules page). Hopefully this will kerb the accusations of moderator power tripping as we now have a nice list of what scores what.

Also let it be noted that a warning can be issued without points given (the prefered method) so you're not going to get points if you accidentally break one ... however keep doing it .... :dead:

It's all up for dicussion if you have any ideas or comments about the rules/points issued - so please feel free to comment below

but he has a sub admin to step in for him :devil:

Ben can offer more than what I can - he has more buttons to press than me

Apparently I've commited Insubordination
Reason being "You're a very very naughty boy "
Think there should be a rule for mods coming on to members myself!

[sammiboo]

i thought he usually picked on beau?

You must be his favourite then this month - fighting is a sign of love :devil:

 

[SkinzCinqSporting]

No I used to get it all the time a while back :bang:

 

[fiatdownunder]

hmmmm what was the post earlier about admin picking on users.....

 

[dave]

i thought he usually picked on beau?

no he loves boo, thats why he keeps a pic on his Sig so he can see him all the time, like a husband might keep a pic of his wife in his wallet, just custard is a Scott so has no wallet as he keep his money in his sock

 

[custard]

No I used to get it all the time a while back :bang:

What about if you've tried every avenue to get hold of a member i.e. by PM and email, would a FAO thread then be given points?

 

[custard]

well theres little point as if they come online the get a pm notification straight away.
if the pm box is full they get an email.
remember its not an automated system so obviously there are variable circumstances for every post

Judging by the way this thread has so far developed we have just lost some members and three mod :idea:

 

[ben]

Just to point out, these were not brought in because users were causing too many problems.

It was due to a problem occuring and there being no set way to deal with it, so people were getting accused of being over zealous etc ... this way everything is nice and easily laid out

 

[allanhelen]

I must admit that the Mods do a very good job!!!

The only critisism i ever have is the intolerance that is sometimes shown to newbies because of basic questions that regular forum users already have knowledge off

I feel that deleting a post and appling a correctly worded direct contact (even a bogo letter) would have more effect and ensure continuing subscription rather than the far too frequent public humiliation

[custard]

yeah but its a tricky one.
delete the thread and they post wheres my thread
leave it and have multiple posts on the same stuff
make up faq's,guides etc and some dont look or just post anyway

theres some stuff coming that should make it much easier for members to locate info which i think will make a big difference.
as with most forums when you 1st join its hard to find some info,stickys etc when theres loads of sections
