Popular Post Four Posted October 17, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2016 Community, Just recently we had a thread started in this forum calling out 'over moderation' and throughout the replies in that thread many of you made some great posts regarding what moderation/admin could do better to create a stronger mesh between the community and us. I told you I would take those ideas and bring them to moderation and admin to see what we can change to be better for you guys and here is what we decided on based off your criticisms: -Threads (more specifically Alliance Affairs threads) that go on for pages and pages. Those that stray off topic of the OP will no longer be warned. There will be 2 'Global Verbal Warnings' given in the specific thread indicating to you that you're going over the edge of a constructive conversation. These are given out if the threads become spam or widely off the topic of anything related to the politics of this game. The second warning notifies you that should this behaviour persist, the thread will be locked and those who continued the behaviour will be warned. Moderators who issue Global Warnings will report their post via the report button to notify the rest of the moderation/admin team that a warning was given, this way everyone is on the same page. We changed this because we understand that although the posts within a thread might not all pertain to the OP, they can still pertain to the surrounding political sphere the OP is related to. -Threads that don't belong in a particular forum OR are lacking in proper posting etiquette. This happens a lot in General Debate/Discussion. Our general practice would be to lock or move the topic and sometimes warn the topic creator - but we are switching up that practice. Those that post in the wrong forum or are lacking in proper posting etiquette will no longer be warned. Moderators will notify the topic creator of the error and allow 24 hours for a change in etiquette or request to move the topic. After 24 hours and no progress or contact is made, the thread will simply be locked. No warns. Moderators will report the thread and notify other moderators that contact has been made to change etiquette/etc. This way we are all on the same page and over moderation does not occur. -Public call-outs of the moderation team/administration Any time moderation or administration is publicly called-out by a member of the community, we will work professionally and diligently to rectify whatever issue came up, in a swift manner. -Tweaking the Warning Method We tweaked the warn protocols so that people will not be double-warned for the same violation basically in a 24-hour period. It has happened in the past and it shouldn't be. In addition, we have outlined when to give a verbal or when to give a warn point. Because of this, most warnings will end up being a Verbal Warning. You will only receive a Warn Point if your negative behavior continues or you end up doing something pretty bad, like terrabad. Moderation will also be reaching out to members of the community via the warn system on a more face-to-face level. Removing the stiffness of communications and replacing it with a real-talk method. I believe this will help moderation blend with the community a bit more. In addition to the above changes: General Debate/General Discussion topic rules/posting etiquettes have been changed to be a bit more 'loose' in terms of what you can post/how you can post there. I'd like to see more beneficial discussions and debates in those forums. Election/Presidential/Hillary/Trump threads that are located in the Forum Games & Spam forum of this community will be closed. Unfortunately, the amount of reports we have received from these threads have been beyond the norm. We do ask that you create a more formal discussion or debate in the respective forums. Any non-essential election thread will be closed. This ruling will last now, until the US Presidential Election is over. This has been approved by Alex. In closing, I know that moderation and the community have clashed on several occasions. I have been harsh, you have been harsh and there are some that just outright hate the moderation team here in PW. I do want to put out there that we do work to better this community and I hope that these changes to moderation practices show you all that we are willing to work with you, the community. Thank You. If you have any questions or something doesn't seem right - let me know. 13 Quote It was a pleasure serving this community - Stay Frosty!

Foltest Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) All these changes look great! Thanks for taking the time to consider and give feedback, it's rather refreshing to have mods that listen rather than ignore or even punish dissenters. Now we just need to ban GreatKitteh and we'll be on our way to decent forums... Edited October 18, 2016 by Holton 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozalia Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I'm going to assume that LordRahl2 having been running scared for a long time has finally managed to get the high energy Trump SUPERthread closed. Just another victory for the Roz if he requires such things, I LOVE IT MAGGLE! This'll go great I'm sure and I look forward to the post election period where I will if God blesses his last gift on this Earth, the Roz, be able to continue posting.

I noticed that you let that thread languish. Most dominant thread on the entire forum languished? Please. I got more busy recently so less posting is all there is to it and besides at the end of the day any activity is more than the Clinton Super thread you never dared to bring about. Not that this matters so thats that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRahl2 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Yes, languish. Your posting there fell way off as your guy nose dived. Anyway, wrong thread for this. I appologize. I had nothing, directly, to do with the thread closing. Our combined shit posting may have. 1 Quote -signature removed for rules violation- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiki Mod Dr Rush Posted October 21, 2016 Wiki Mod Share Posted October 21, 2016 Or you can just not attack paracov since I practice self-restraint out of respect for NPO. 1. You attacked us this last around so thats not a fullproof plan going forward. 2. The war is over so aren't you supposed to in your cage again?
