General Forum Etiquette:
1. DO NOT POST IN ALL CAPS - it looks like you're shouting!
2. Be respectful of other board members views and opinions.
Rules for moderators:
1. When a post is reported, validate that a rule has been broken. If a rule was broken, decide whether to settle the matter via PM, locking mechanism, or deletion of the entire post.
How do I know what action to take?
* If this is a first time offense by a contributing member of the forum, it's likely the poster didn't realize they were breaking a rule. Most users are happy to obey the rules if they understand them, start by giving the user the benefit of the doubt. Send them a PM explaining the rule to them and give them the chance to explain themselves and/or let them correct the mistake (if necessary). Don't forget to email the admin with a copy of your PM - so we have a record of what action was taken to resolve the issue.
* If there is a heated debate and things are getting out of hand - locking the post is acceptable to end the drama.
* If the post is completely unacceptable and letting people read it is detrimental to the community, then it must be deleted. This is the most extreme situation and is used as a last resort.
Examples of when a post needs to be deleted include (but are not limited to):
A member posts an advertisement on the brides only board - this is a clear violation, and will hurt the members reputation as well as stlwed's reputation as an unbiased resource - this must be deleted ASAP to avoid damaging reputations.
o A newbie joins the board, and one of their first posts is aggressive or to stir up drama... if it's clear the person only joined the forum to stir up drama, then its safe to delete the post.
If deleting a post, copy and paste the entire post (including the username of the poster and date/timestamp of post) in an email to the admin before actually deleting the post.
2. If asked to lock or delete anything not in direct violation of the rules, no action is to be taken.
3. If asked to lock or delete anything via PM or email, remind the user to use the report post mechanism so we have records of what happened when - do not take any action until there's an official report against the post
Violating any of these rules, may result in having your post(s) deleted and/or termination of your account.
We reserve the right to edit/update these rules at any time without notice..
Thank you and happy posting ...!!!
