I'm done with mine. and i would like to give you some sort of brief explanation as to why i voted on the following:
Quote:
Moderators SHOULD NOT use personal judgment in moderating decisions, and refer to strict rules only.
|
personal judgment is sometimes mixed by favouritism and current temperament of a mod. i believe it's much easier, both to the members and mods to rely strictly on the rules.
Quote:
Members SHOULD NOT be allowed to break any rules, at any time.
|
given that it is explicitely implied on the rules
Quote:
Moderators SHOULD take history and frequency into account, when infracting.
|
i believe Conan explained before that this has been practiced and i pretty much agree on this point. it's a very fair thing to do.
Quote:
Moderators SHOULD publically post a member's infraction and/or ban information.
|
to avoid the mods to explain one by one to all thousands of members here thru pm the whats and whys which may differ from a day to day basis depending on the mods memory capability
Quote:
Members SHOULD NOT PM a moderator for that information, but ask publicly.
|
something tells me that if the members will pm a mod for any information, the volume alone will be a task for them to reply to each and everyone.
Quote:
Moderators should have to justify ALL of their decisions
|
for transparency of course
Quote:
Members should be given a LIMITED number of chances to cease disruptive activity.
|
given that they're not breaking any rules along the process
Quote:
Moderators SHOULD be allowed to decide what constitutes disruption.
|
because moderators, out of anyone here, know the rules better
Quote:
The "Why Someone Is Banned" thread should remain OPEN.
|
i don't see any good reason why this should be close other than trying to avoid giving explanations about why someone was banned.
Quote:
Complaints against moderation should be posted PUBLICLY.
|
i think that is kind of a cumpolsory word to use, "CAN" may be more appropriate.
Quote:
In order for everyone to be treated equally, moderation must be black & white
|
i'm not sure what black & white here really means but if it meant transparency of moderation to all members, i'm up for it.
Quote:
Community majority opinion on these matters SHOULD dictate future activities.
|
more than 1,000 heads are better than less than 1,000 heads.
again, this is just my opinion.
