And it doesn't matter if you are or not, that HOH Rant was disgusting literature, and should have been removed! Oh he is a friend too...Never mind I guess perhaps in that case leave it up, to cause some drama. 😉

Originally posted by MissOleumThere have been several incidents in which one user was spamming up the fora at high speed. In these cases I'd say it's absolutely essential that one mod can stop this immediately. Otherwise it sounds like a good idea for bans (I don't see why it should apply to warnings; I would certainly want to receive a warning if a mod thinks I am stepping over a line). Maybe a solution would be to allow a single mod to give a 1 day ban, and then it can be decided by several mods whether it should be made longer.
I believe that a single MOD should have the right to remove single posts and close threads, but any warnings or bans (including thread removals) should be a two or three person decision. And if that's slow, so much the better, everyone has time to cool down.
And of course I'd still like to have the mods warn people before they get a ban, but I know I am talking to deaf ears (or typing to blind eyes) there.

I am not talking about your example used though!
Perhaps indicate how many threads in one Forum is acceptable in one day?
For example: I enjoy Grampy Bobby threads, I wish he posted more!

a) clear guidelines for the mods regarding when and when not to give bans (I don't know if they already have those, but I sometimes got the impression that they don't); and
b) if a mod gives bans several times that the other mods disagree with, that mod gets kicked from the mod team.
Originally posted by NordlysYes, it sure helps if everyone is on the same page.

Originally posted by CrowleyI am sorry about your grandmother. I am sure we have all had friends, or family who have been in car crashes, also midgets and deformed people in some of our familys. Which is a very good reason we should not put down, or make fun of either in our forums.
Actually it was my grandmother and she died later that night in hospital from her head injuries.
Perhaps this is a lesson learned for the future?
