Intro to User Infractions

[SpankMe]

Read first post.

First it was getting binned, now it's loosing priveledges. Shit this is a bikers site not kindergarden. Whatever is said on here is nothing but words. No ones getting whacked. You just can not take some of the drivel that goes on here seriously. Sure some of the stuff can take a bit of getting used to if it directed at you. But as I've posted somewhere here FLAME RULE #10 no one cares. If the going gets too hot there is the option of using the ignore button. That way you don't get see what is posted and if you stop posting the other party has nothing to feed off. If the PM message is abused just send a PM back if it continues or happens again toss them off. Sorry guys I'm thinking like Old Rider here, just getting too many rules and I'm a socialist. That's gota tell someone something. Take another think on this one Spank.

I like it. Good work spank. Unfortunately it means more work But good on ya!

Jumped ship just intime then. No way would I be able to remember all these let alone enforce them.


Good idea SPank but does seem to be getting a bit heavy handed. Better than straight to sinbin though.

[Lou Girardin]

Yay, there goes one already!!!

Yeah, let's have a site where only approved opinions are allowed. We can talk about bikes and only bikes ad infinitum. God forbid that anyone is entertaining and/or not afraid to say what he thinks.
Oh that's right, you've started that site already.

I've got to agree with skyrider. One of those complaining about the twins thread was feeding the fire instead of just letting it go. Then there were the others that had little if anything to contribute to the thread, but jumped in like a pack of wolves when they smelt Finns blood. A really enlightening exhibition.
Most of us are adults and should be able to shrug off some of the more outrageous posts.
Rather than more rules, why don't people use their mental ignore buttons.

I agree entirely Lou Quassi was a bit over the top in stiring and moderating at the same time. If anyone realy thinks this yellow and red card system is a good idea go take a look at Quassi's site and see how quiet and boring it is I had a look a minute ago and there were only 5 users online in my opinion part of the Charm of KB is the repartie and cut and thrust of personalities and if you get grumpy with someone on the site its always water of a Ducks back by the time you come together to go on one of the orgaised rides

Fine... Just got my 1st infraction today... I guess it's useful for mods, as long as they use it sensibly... As the forum gets bigger, there is more of a need for abit of order, just don't get carried away and kill the fun in here as well yeah?

[Quasievil]

A little side note, the thread is concerning user infractions, posts should be related to this subject, have a loverly evening from Mr happy Mod

[SPORK]

Finally. My gosh, all you people complaining, think about it. You'd need to of posted 15 threads in the wrong forum in a month to even get to the first stage. So honestly, grow the fuck up, Spankme can run this ship however he likes.

[Goblin]

Well it appears to me that you only need one complaint to get an infraction. It would also seem that this infraction system could be fairly easily abused by over-zealous moderators who have personal grudges against certian members, or even members who are prone to whinging to moderators every time their little feelings get hurt
It reminds me of school detention!

Yeah thats about right Goblin, if it can be backed up with OTT abuse, however its interesting a slight remark from a mod will be banged out of proportion. No Grudges from any Mod, but its generally the same members who are causing the issues.
It also isnt the same members making the complaints, alot of them just believe in a standard that KB should be run at (like the Mods) and are happy to promote those standards, However alot of members (yourself included) feel its okay for certain members to basically say what they like
Examples of a recent infraction comment
1/ THEN ZED FINISHES SPANKS BLOWJOB AND FUCKS OFF

That got an infraction as that is OTT.

But in saying all that, a few members are trying to turn this situation into a anti mod campaign, which is fine, but you should stop and realise that we are carrying out unpaid work to help keep this site running and perform more tasks than giving out infractions, ie moving posts , mentor stuff.
So before complaining about mods about nothing, look at what we all do and think of showing some appreciation, or put your own hand up and offer to help in some way

Thats about it

[Joni]

Yeah Goblin its more like a playground actually - just remember you are playing in someone elses playground - now just like in real life you bully other playmates eventually you will be rapped on the knuckles... you run around swearing like a sailor... also not gonna work - its not how the person who owns this playground wants things...

Come on guys - this infraction system has been set up to help the Admins and Mods to run the site a little better, this is only as bad as you make it... why must people now call mods all kinds of things when they are just doing a job - people seem to think when a mod does something its personal - get over it guys, its not personal we are just doing a job - which is help run a site we love.

[Sniper]

Mods in all honesty, you will get people winging about infractions. Its the same reason they get upset when they get a speeding ticket and the same reason NZ is the way it is, people dont want to take responsibility for their actions.

I bet that if they recieve green over a comment they wont get upset, but the moment they get an infraction or red rep they start whining. Think of it as a policeman giving someone a speeding ticket. By law its wrong to speed, but they dont see why they should be the one to get the ticket ect.

Mods, my 0.02c is if someone crys about getting an infraction then tough. They know where to go if they think it unwarrented so I would ignore those that stir. You guys have a hard enough job as it is without having to explain why you give people infractions.

I really dont understand what you're trying to say on your first sentence. Your remark about how you feel that Crazy Steve should be shot before he can get his screwdriver out is, quite frankly, a personal attack on a member. Steve gave a broard, generalised statement about police in general....not directed at any particular member of this site, but got an infraction for it. Whereas you make a personal attack on him and it's OK...?

Now I'm not trying to make this an anti-mod issue. I reckon we should be able to say what we want, but not outright abuse other members. I am not complaining about nothing. I complained about your direct attack on Crazy Steve but you did not infraction yourself so there is a double standard. You yourself said just because you are a mod, it doesn't mean you cant give some of these people a bit of their own. So you are buying into their wind-ups and infractioning them for their responses. That looks to me like an abuse of power! Also looks like it's the same mods who are causing the issues by reveling in these wind-up posts. Now Im am in no way anti-mod and I think they do alot of thankless work but there are a couple of mods on here that get into heated arguements then dish out infractions because they can.

Btw. There was really no need to give that example.

Joni....Please save your patronizing for the kiddies.
