Darknight Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Hi george , I am happy that this discussion have started. We admins have had a low profile for the last week. It's not easy to be a forum moderator...If we are too loose then we get shit, if we ban members we get World War III here. How to find a middle way so we all can have a nice time here? At least Warnings should be given with valid reasons based on objective rules and not on Personal desicions from mods "i like this person or not ". I also agree with a kinda of redidivist procedure where you are banned longer after several offences. What i surely would suggest is also that a MOD is accountable for his actions by the community and needs to explain his reasons for banning. The following discussions can be held in the open , not in the way you now quickly try to hush things up , hoping that it will blow over. I've been jumped on by one of the mods before (the one with a lot of space left on his pages ) wich resulted in an immediate banning, distortion of the thruth, and then utter silence from you as well as all the other mods at that time. This account still reads to date " your posting permissions have been removed. they will return in 2006-05-15" At least you could own up to the fact that past experiences with Moderation weren't to pleasant for some people. lastly i got a "warning level " ???? where all my post had to be reviewed before posted, this in fact is useless as you can't follow a conversation as your Reviewing mod is drinking chan somewhere. I didn't even know that it existed, let alone was i told i incurred it ??? The current trend of attaching a reason when deleting some lines in a text is quite a step forward from the old days, But sometimes old habits creep back in i guess. Now we're all human , but maybe you should look upon your members as clients and not as a neccesary problem to run a forum. i understand you can't see everything right away but at least you can structure your banning policy and not just let some mods run wild , when they feel like it , because they are YOUR friend and hey "i need him". It's not fair to all the thousands of other members. they all contribute and make YOUR business. Nobody will contribute if they know that they could be banned on a whim in two minutes. Only openess of policy can make this forum and your attaching biz's grow more large, in the end it all boils down to pageviews: no members , no pageviews, no forum,no sponsors, no advertising, no tshirts, no marketing for radio bangkok ect... I surely feel you do a good job every day, but the personal execesses need to be rooted out (on either side). now i'm going back to sitting here... doing nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gentleman Scamp Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 On the other side of the coin, how about a 'Reward Points' system for those who post the most constructively, behave themselves the longest and spell with the most accuracy? As an insentive we could have little stars next to our names and any member who earns five gold stars gets a free Thaivisa T-Shirt! You could also have a 'Member Of The Month' scheme where the winner gets a tour of TVHQ and gets to be mod for a day and have lunch with a mod of their choice.

stumonster Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Yes the good old thai visa has dived in the last month..not just cause of the influx of the ajarn crowd. not responding to obvious cases of verbal diarrhoea will help the situation. I don t think more moderation is the answer, just a bit more control when some one is obviously trying to push your buttons. been back in the bearpit for the first time in a couple of months, but it still seems to be dominated by the usual cabal....yes its smee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatter than harry Posted August 22, 2004 Author Share Posted August 22, 2004 Maybe a moderator could start something in Forum Support if they need our feedback, like Elsie says, the point has been made and they're probably working on something.

RamdomChances Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 All you need is an anouncment on the forum suport desk, saying that a member has been banned and why. Ie Member XXXXXX was banned today for abusive postsings by mod XXXXXXXXX Although I do like the idea of warnings in red it think from toaster and stockys - Initial warning, explaining the infringement - Second offense with a 10 day suspension - Third offense with 30 day suspension - Fourth offense would result in a permanent banning But with an anouncment of the baning/suspension. Also whats the big thing about talking about "moderation issues", if a mod feels the need to ban someone , should'nt he/she accountable for it and comfortable backing up that desicion?

penzman Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 You could also have a 'Member Of The Month' scheme where the winner gets a tour of TVHQ and gets to be mod for a day and have lunch with a mod of their choice. Don't know if he'll let you see and use the laptop... The server room is located up north, 100m deep in a cave dug under a mountain but I heard som tam, pad kapow and fresh fruit is sold all along the tunnel.
