not to be rude, but... Options

[angel-roh]

when some mods say we can't double post nor spam, how come they spam or double post?





if they become a mod, do they have a freedom to do whatever they want and break a rule? i thought it wasn't fair for the other members. they get warned for double posting a lot or spamming and when some mods do that, they dont get warned...


so yeah just wanted to say that... that's rude and messed up.

hi there,
thank you for voicing your opinions. please pm me with specific examples and ill see what i can do. i personally abhor power abusers, so i can assure you, if your accusations turn out to be true, these moderators will shiftly be demoted.

and i am saddened that you had to create a new account to remain anonymous to protect yourself from retaliation. forums should never be like this. idealy, it should be an open medium where ideas and perspectives are freely expressed without the fear of retaliation.

attached below is a copy of the moderator guidelines. if you feel any one of the current staff members is in direct violation, please pm me. and this goes to everyone, please take this chance to express yourself so that i can do something about it.

and those who have truthfully expressed yourselves, thank you. i hope cb will come out to be a stronger and friendlier community through this event.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
First and foremost, staff members are here to make sure everyone has a fun experience in these forums. They are here to help out whenever they can, contribute and make interesting new topics, and generally, be fun and nice! They also enforce the community guidelines, police the forums whenever problems arise, and act as mediators to resolve the disputes, mediators in the sense that they should never willingly participate to contribute to the problem. They are the solution, not the problem! They also police these forums in a sense that they lessen general mayhem by organizing and making sure that topics in their respective forums belong where they are. Another responsiblity staff members have is to promote the community "togetherness", by making sure everyone feels welcome, participating in the sitewide initiatives, and create some of their own. Generally, staff members have the gaurantee of the site's good grace and support in whatever initiatives, contests, polls they start. So be free and think of ways how you can play a central role in the fastest growing blog community!

MODERATOR FUNCTIONS
...

In addition, moderators have the power to warn members who intentionally cause harm to the community or perform actions deemed unacceptable by the community guidelines. This, however, should be used as a last resort. A private message should be sent to first time offenders informing them of the unacceptable behavior. Second time offenders may be given a warning. Only when there are multiple offenses should staff members resort in disabling the offender's posting ability or suspend the offender's account. The period of time for such action should never be more than 10 days. Send me a pm if you feel the offender's actions call for a more severe punishment.
