Intro to User Infractions

**sAsLEX** · 15th August 2006, 11:26

ONe thing I find annoying is people move threads that were in the right forum.

ie move selling stuff from online trading to rave on.

And I tried starting a thread the other day and it got ammended to another persons thread instead of creating a new one, what up with that? Some heavy handed moderating for no reason.

and now you'll get punished for start that thread in the wrong forum in the eyes of that heavy handed mod ..

nice way to encourage website interaction

I think I'll just not start a thread ever again

Makes sense though TerminalAddict. Forums would be a mess if you discussed different topics in one spot. Besides, its a bikers forum

Ummm why?? it does not say Online Bike store it says trading!

Online Trading
For Sale / Wanted to buy

plus its "

not a "site only for the discussion/trading of things only biking"

Yip not mention of bikes only, and it makes no logical sense to move for sale wanted things to RR, if your dont like people selling other things in the trading section maybe make a new forum/sub forum for not bike trading

silly illogical mods

But it's in the General Bike Stuff category. I guess I'll have to make it more obvious for the simple folk.

**Squeak the Rat** · 15th August 2006, 12:16

From a user perspective it is quite daunting working out where to put something sometimes (much like kinky sex).

But anarchy wouldn't work either so we just have to have a bit of empathy for the mods. I'm sure most if not all do not enjoy having to move our posts all the time, but hey.....

(sh'es a mod, she's a mod, yeah yeah yeah)

Umm like have a not bike online trading section!

Think it's a great idea

Those who can't moderate their own behaviour should rightly get a kick up the backside (oops, that's not a punishable comment is it?!! LOL)

Seriously though, it's great to be trying to keep it clean, but don't sanitise it TOO much. A bit of diversity and controversy is good for keeping us all open-minded.

That'd be me then, I've acted on these reported posts accordingly. If it's in GBR-online trading and it's not GBR related it gets moved. Seems pretty simple to me.

Ok I see I like a few before me have missed the higher level GBR that encompases the majority of the forums here. Now since there is no other avenue to Online trade those items that are not motorcycle related could we

Open the current forum to all trading
Append a sub forum to the cuurent trading one for non bike stuff
create a new trading forum in RR
Other ideas?

Nice to see that the information for use on the current trading thing has been upgraded!

**oldrider** · 15th August 2006, 13:35

I feel privileged to be on this forum but I sense "rules" like they make in schools are sort of appearing here! (Clark government style)
That doesn't seem to be what I thought Spankme stood for when I joined up, censorship was the antithesis of this forum, is socialism winning the day here too?

**Ixion** · 15th August 2006, 13:41

Well, ,gotta admit that I have the same niggling doubts. So it ain't socialism!

**SwanTiger** · 15th August 2006, 13:56

I think this is a brilliant idea, for me personally, it is going to challenge me to be more abusive towards other members and break any other rules.

These infraction points give me something to work towards and also act as a performance gauge.

Also, being part Maori I must help to over-represent the Maori community in any statistics through my savage animal tendencies.
