what to do when mods commit offenses. Options

[*incoherent*]

^x2
sounds good to me. we should vote on it.

james...and if they do, should they also be demoted?

[racoons > you]

vote on what? i hav elosttrack of things. GOD IM TIRED

[*tweeak*]

Nay?

[Heathasm]

well . . . when official members get a warning they are demoted, too, right?

[racoons > you]

wait. so we are voting to decide that if a mod is deemed bad enough to get ehir official warnign level raised, they should be demodded, yes?

[*tweeak*]

Oh, well then I don't see how that requires voting. Seems like a given. That being said, it could be hard to get the right amont of leniency. If there's a mass conversation (or orgy) and I'm involved, and warning goes about, I don't think I'd deserve to be demodded for it. ughh

[Heathasm]

yeah i was thinking the same thing nicki lol

but i was also thinking having it as a suspension instead

[racoons > you]

i miss jordan. he was always good for an orgy.

ANYWAY.

but yes, if mod has atheir warning level raised, they should be demodded.. we can sort out what should meirt the warning level being raised later.

(off topic, I wish I had moddy powers :[)

Just a quick question before I vote, do the mods have a chance to like regain their powers after being demodded? I do think that it is a bit harsh, I think a suspension would be quite suitable. I mean, official members can get their status quite easily. Also, they were made mods for a reason, they can do the job. If they slip up, I don't think they just get blantantly kicked out.

[*disco infiltrator*]

Yes, if they prove themself worthy of redemption, they should recieve it.

[sadolakced acid]

about the whole conversations in threads.

isn't that what kinda makes cB fun? i mean, as long as it's not happening in like, website help, where someone might actually need to read the threads, it shouldn't really be bad.

sure, if it goes past a page that's usually too much, but usually it doesn't go past there.

^Are you talking about that game you created? Just make it a rule asking people to say something random they've heard, did, said, thought...whatever, but anything random. As long as every post isn't "did i win?" as I saw in there, and each one has a meaning, I don't see a problem.

[sadolakced acid]

well, the game is supposed to be a compromise. it's what this other forum did, and it seemed pretty fun.


but anyways, like, other forums that hvae purposes other than to connect people ( like a forum to help people fix comptuers or stuff) would have to be more strict about off topicness and such...

but in a forum that's purpose is for people to talk to each other and have fun? i think offtopicness should be treated with salutary neglect, unless it exceeds a page.

[*mona lisa*]

I think I see what you mean...well, my interpretation of it is a topic devoted to off-topic convos. As long as people have something to discuss, I'm not against it.

[racoons > you]

ooh... an offcial conversation thread? i LIKE it

[*disco infiltrator*]

I never liked off-topic threads (on other forums) because I could never keep up and always came in not knowing what people were talking about...

But other forums pull it off, so I don't think it could hurt. As long as people still go elsewhere.

Threads that are purely conversations tend to go fast and make people not want to do much else...I know from experience...

[*mipadi*]

I don't really see the point of a conversation thread. We have PM's; we have the AIM chatroom; people who just want to chat can you AIM, MSN, IRC, Yahoo!, Google talk, private Invisionfree forum, other private forum, etc. There're myriad choices for off-topic, random, and untargeted chatting.

[OneOfTheseDayz]

aye
