I have posted the Moderators Guidelines below...Please pay particular attention to item 4.3 and especially item 6. In general I support moderators as I know the difficulties involved. But we were discussion Features.



Moderators Guidelines:

1. The job of a Moderator is to watch over the board to make sure other users stay within the guidelines of this site.
2. The Main moderator (the one listed first) is in charge of the board, with the other moderators around to help watch while the main moderator is off-line.
3. If a board is used frequently, the main moderator should try to find 1 or 2 others who can watch the board, hopefully from different time zones so the board can be watched as much as possible.
4. If a post does not fall into the site guidelines, the moderator should:
1. Edit post for content if rest of the post belongs in the board.
2. Remove the post if none of the post belongs in the board.
3. Warn user IN PRIVATE about edited/removed post, and point them to guidelines if needed.
4. If multiple users are engaged in a flame war, a public post saying "stop" can be used.
5. If posting continues after a warning, the poster should be hidden for at least a few hours, possibly longer (24 hours or more).
6. If after being unhidden a poster continues, then a ban of the user can be used.
7. Moderators are free to take more strict or less strict actions as needed, but should try to follow the above guideline when possible.
5. If the board is getting out of hand, which can happen from time to time with certain topics – the moderator should change the posting right to "Approve all" until things settle back down. The moderator can also change the posting right to "Approve pawns" if it is needed.
6. REMEMBER: This is suppose to be a fun game site, so some off-topic post and fun can be a good thing, so be careful not to over-moderate, and try not to nit-pick every post to find something wrong with it.
