Changes

^ Exactly. A checks and balances system.

Wow. Not a bad idea at all.

I don't so much like the "getting approval from another mod" or the "collaboratively writing a detailed PM" idea. Mods tend to stick together with decisions anyway. Plus I think that would delay the decision and slow us down as staff. I would much rather train the staff correctly the first time to recognize where, when and how to utilize their power and so they can do so appropriately themselves without even having to ask another staff member. Of course they can ask if they need to, but they shouldn't be forced to wait for another staff member to come online to make a decision.

We should definitely ease up a bit on the swearing rule, but I still think there should be something there. I don't think we should let members use the F bomb whenever they please.

^That's only if you enable that feature in your "Board Preferences"

Uhhh.. The last warnings were because it was said in images. They don't get censored in images, derp.

Only thing is though (IMO) I still have two warnings for swearing at the moment, and it feels slightly unfair to me that the rules are going to change and allow it, when I just got banned for it but meh I guess better fixed now than not at all =D

Also the images are not always warn warranting for swearing, mine was also for sexism in the said image.
I do pretty much agree with everything Moka and WS said though, actually I agree with almost everything in this thread

This is great! I like this and I'll back it up all the way. ^^

Although easing up on enforcing the swearing rule is fair, there should still be a rule about swearing in moderation. First of all, as stated before this is a PG forum but swearing can also escalate drama very quickly. People generally have more rash and angry reactions when someone they are arguing with begins to swear at them. Even though swearing is normal, it should definitely still be monitored.

Okay, thanks for the information!

The status updates should not tell the reporter what has been done per se. It just needs to say the issue has been dealt with, not "The user has been warned" because that IMO goes against the no naming and shaming thing you talked about before.

And actually the banning protocol, well can not really give any feedback on that until we see it in action I guess.
