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!

sqad, yes, but thaT's the aspect of your post i'm commenting on

[Sqad]

bednobs...then the answer to your question is..................yes, maybe.

[ummmm]

We should have in our profiles...

*prone to flouncing
*can be aggressive
*finds debating difficult
*sarcastic person
*posts nonsense

[Mick-Talbot]

i'll have the last 2 please ummmm

[ummmm]

I'm sure we could create a massive list :-)

[cazzz1975]

I think an "about me" blurb attached to the profiles would be an excellent idea

[jno]

didn't you get the memo, ummmm? You are the designated scapegoat this week and everything is blamed on you.

It was meant to be my turn last week but I pretended I was on jury duty and couldn't oblige.

[ummmm]

jno - so it's your fault it was all blamed on me last week as well?

I didn't realise I had so much power.... :-)

I have to say,I agree with both anne and sqad here.
..and this is not really about docs overposting.
Where we used to be up in arms over some particularly nasty trolls-and rightly so-now the targets are those who are perceived to be 'attention seekers'-for want of a better term. They do not generally abuse,if anything they post quite innocuous threads. But some seem to get jumped on for little. Yes-they can only get banned/suspended by the Eds....but if enough report they are gonners. TBH-I would not consider their transgressions reportable. It's as if the goalposts have been lowered so far-that any behaviour that is even slightly wrong is seen as a mortal sin....there are no grey areas. You are 'in' or 'out'...and there seems to be little room for forgiveness.

[Mick-Talbot]

pasta , this is at least the second time doc has been suspended for overposting.

I can remember reading a warning from the Ed about it.

[Sqad]

pasta.......your point is well taken.....the rules for suspension seem to be so rigid that there is no room for the "quirky individualist" who's posts by and large, although transgressing Site Rules, are innocuous.

This is not purely a question and answer website and the eccentricities of individuals should be respected providing that they do not cross the line of the general conception of decency.

Ed +team....yes you have a difficulty job, but in my opinion a degree of human individual understanding is required.

It's not what you say, it is the way that you say it.
It's not what you do but the way that you do it.
It;s not what you are it's who you are.

These Abers are not the rule, but the exception, but they do exist howver small in number.

In my opinion.

[sara3]

yet they think they have the right to take over the whole site when the mood takes them.

it's boring and inconsiderate.

[cazzz1975]

considering some of the stuff you have come out with in the last few years sqad, I would say this applies to you also.

[Mick-Talbot]

the rules for suspension seem to be so rigid that there is no room for the "quirky individualist" who's posts by and large, although transgressing Site Rules, are innocuous.


now that ,sqad, i will agree with.

[boxtops]

Perhaps we should just let it drop now - this is getting as tedious as last night.
