Your job as a moderator is to enforce the following rules:
|
|
".post_rules()."
|
|
Delete posts or threads <b>only if they clearly violate
|
|
one or more of these rules</b>.
|
|
However, there may be other cases where it is alright to
|
|
delete posts or threads as the moderator sees fit,
|
|
such as:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>whole threads that have disintegrated into pointless
|
|
argument, especially between a few parties, though the
|
|
content might not exactly violate any of the rules above
|
|
<li>older threads (that don't appear on current first page)
|
|
that may contain less offensive but still questionable material
|
|
<li>a thread needs massive cleanup can be temporarily
|
|
deleted to hide it while cleanup takes place
|
|
</ul>
|
|
If in doubt, discuss it with other moderators on the email list.
|
|
Please respect the following guidelines:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li> Don't let your personal opinions
|
|
or moods affect your moderation decisions.
|
|
You may not delete a post simply because
|
|
you disagree with it or dislike its author.
|
|
If you find yourself getting angry, take a break.
|
|
|
|
<li> Don't discuss moderation decisions on the forums
|
|
of this or other BOINC projects.
|
|
Use the email list that has been set up for this purpose.
|
|
Consider using an anonymous account for moderation,
|
|
so that your own forum activities are kept separate from
|
|
your moderation duties.
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Except for posts containing obscene language or pictures,
|
|
avoid deleting posts until someone complains about them
|
|
(and, of course, don't delete them simply because someone has complained).
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It is possible for an administrator to temporarily banish
|
|
users by selecting the \"banish author\" link in each post.
|
|
In this case each offending author is sent an e-mail stating
|
|
he/she will be unable to post for two weeks.
|
|
Moderators will also have the \"banish author\" button but
|
|
should only use it in emergency cases, such as:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>spammers suddenly littering the forums with garbage
|
|
at a quick rate, or
|
|
<li>egregious offenders (i.e. highly violent or pornographic
|
|
images not suitable to children under 18 years old).
|
|
</ul>
|
|
In normal cases, if a moderator wants to banish a specific
|
|
author they must ask the adminstrator first. <b>Any</b>
|
|
user banishment results in an e-mail to the internal
|
|
moderation list describing who got banished and why.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>REMEMBER:</b>
|
|
It is impossible to keep any internet forum free of yahoos.
|
|
People will say incredibly stupid things when nobody can
|
|
punch them in the face. Don't try to solve this problem -
|
|
just try to maintain some level of sanity.
