General warning notification

[Peter1469]

Based on member input, moderation is going to make a new effort to do less policing of the forum and rely more on member reports. If we act on a report, it will be done as consistently as possible and address not just the member behavior but also the history of behavior. If we don't take action, we will try where needed to PM back an explanation why. We do participate as members, so when we do find problems, instead of immediately issuing infractions, we will post general warnings which if ignored will result in infractions. In order to make warnings more visible we will add a prefix http://i.snag.gy/3F75G.jpg to warned threads.

I am not a reporting type person but I get reported often. I am going to begin reporting myself

[sachem]

[Chris]

If it's too flashy, let us know, we can change it.

Well, when they recover from the seizures, they won't be able to say they didn't know there were warnings.

[texan]

I hate this forum! I love this forum! Hate! Love!

[Common]

The moderators we have now are the best weve ever had in my opinion. Yes, even chris I have to grudgingly admit is doing a good job this time around. Its not easy to be a mod on any forum, this one seems to be particularly tough because the mods participate in the conversations more. Which Im not insinuating is a bad thing at all.

[Cigar]

Like my Father always says, if the Job is easy, everyone would be doing it ... have a Cookie and get back to work.

I am certainly glad I am a paragon of respectful postings

[PolWatch]

We have several paradoxes of virtue.....:grin:

[Chris]

The warning icon has been implemented so now you can see what it looks like. If you're prone to seizure, I don't know, look away?

[sachem]

Ok. I just stopped seizing. I'm starting Dilantin.

[sachem]

Don't all respond at once. I'll just use the escape button.

[Chris]

Try this:

[sachem]

Try this:

http://i.snag.gy/jtgrc.jpgThank you. I'd hate to sue over brain damage from a seizure. :D

[sachem]

And I don't want to hear anything about already being brain damaged.

[sachem]

Well, when they recover from the seizures, they won't be able to say they didn't know there were warnings.They might not remember.

[Chris]

Thank you. I'd hate to sue over brain damage from a seizure. :D

Yikes! But that was a thought I'd had.

[sachem]

Yikes! But that was a thought I'd had.That someone might sue or that I am brain damaged?

[Chris]

That someone might sue or that I am brain damaged?

Why sue of course. Your sense of humor is still intact. :D

[sachem]

Why sue of course. Your sense of humor is still intact. :D

For now.

I hate this forum! I love this forum! Hate! Love! I'm just here for the refreshments...

[Captain Obvious]

What the hell is that supposed to be, besides annoying?

[Chris]

That's easier on the eye actually.

Some folk allege that our warnings are not visible until it's too late. Flashy thing ensures that no one can ignore that there are warnings on the forum.

Too late for recommendations?

Well the forum is more than just guys...

[Mister D]

Well the forum is more than just guys...

We do have some lesbians.

And breasts that large are not attractive.

I'm fairly sure some guys would disagree with that, but different strokes for different folks. I have no opinion in that regard other than to say that some things head south with age.

I have always been attracted to faces but I really don't get the big breasts thing especially if they are disproportional.

Yes they do but that's ok

[Dr. Who]

Eventually it's the person that has to draw you - the package and whatever there is about it that attracts you will eventually wane and what you will be ultimately left with is the person. Focusing on the physical is short term gain for long term pain.

Same here but gifs and normal yahoos don't mesh well.

[Captain Obvious]

Can you guys put a function in like a link or button in warning notices that takes us directly to the post that caused someone to be infracted or thread tossed? That way we don't have to wade through pages and pages of gobblidygoop to get to the dirt.

Don't think that's possible.

The point isn't gossip. It is to remind all that moderation is tougher after a general warning has been issued.

Or an upset stomach followed by vomiting!

Reminder: When you see http://i.snag.gy/3F75G.jpg on a listed thread or at the top of a thread that means a general warning has been issued in that thread. Typically the warning is to get off each other and back on topic. This is done instead of issuing immediate infractions. But after a general warning has been issued even the slightest ignoring of the warning can merit a thread ban and infraction. So heed the warnings.

I am confused. Do general warnings come automatically with an infraction?

[Peter1469]

No. It makes the icon in the thread so people can see that there is general warning in place.

We let more go prior to a general warning. After, not so much.

Thanks for the question. :smiley:

[Gypsy]

Keep in mind that some people are posting as you are warning. It happens.

[Chris]

Yes, we allow for that, sometimes give a second warning.

Still, you (generic) shouldn't be behaving in way that merits TB.
