Intro to User Infractions

[Joni]

OK guys, I have just spent more than half an hour cleaning this thread up... I do have better things to do with my saturday afternoons

This thread is supposed to be an informative thread regarding the infraction system, all constructive conversation is welcomed - however the bitching and complaining has been moved to PD.

Please keep this thread on topic...

There is no problem talking about beer, titties and the rest... but not in a thread in site stuff where it supposed to inform users new and old about a significant change on KB. No-one will be prepared to go over 6 pages of crap to find one valuable post, which means this thread becomes useless.

Keep your off topic conversation to a thread that not as important as this one on KB.

Once again, if you have a problem with the way an infraction has been handled:
1) Send a pm to a senior moderator
2) Post it in the "got a problem" thread

The bitching achieves nothing...

OK, Im off to enjoy this lovely Canterbury day

TEHEHE THE LADY SAID TITTIES

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? John.

Even us socialists couldn't come up with this infraction thing. When I first started posting it was winner take all.

Now it's like the bloody UN. Any sighn of of a shoot out and the 'possee' saddle up with their gatling guns. Fuck 'em. Nuke 'em I say.

When enough individuals complain about the same thing most organisations take notice and try to do something about it. Here at KBer they just push it into pointless dribble? So do we push our heads in the sand and pretend there is no problem or does it actualy get sorted?

[onearmedbandit]

Got any suggestions then il4, seeing as you seem to be full of criticism over how things are currently run. A lot of things said here by certain members (including yourself) would have resulted in a full ban in many other forums.

bin the infraction system and realise that political correctness is rubbish, or ban us/me. If your wanting a sterile website avoid of fun and humor, whats the point? Sometimes making a big issue itself creates the problem. So I'll stop, hopefully this will set an example that some others...

Despite how long this is being thrashed out, I'll respond to that by saying in no way is humour or fun being targeted with the infraction system, in fact I find it hard to believe that you choose that as your argument. The system is there because of the increasing numbers of personal attacks taking place, to the point where people have been abused over the phone. Unfortunately the by-product of this is that those who get infracted will be the first ones to point out any inbalance in the system, be damned commonsense. So what happens in the interest of being 'fair' and 'balanced' all posts now have to be monitored, which means we (the mod's) become overnight arseholes all because we are the ones charged with making this site appropiate for everyone.

The answer is simple guys, lay off the personal attacks. The shit is old and tired and it goes nowhere. By all means have fun, take the piss, use all the humour you want, but abusing people on the forum because you don't like their bike or political opinion, etc serves no benefit to the site whatsoever.

Please don't force them to ban you all. Its like watching lemmings at clifftop. A trainwreck. If the attentionseekers don't know when to stop then we'll all be the poorer by your eventual self destruction. Don't you people know you have groupies - young bikers who follow your every move. Ahh dang, rebels without a cause. Bait - bite - bait - bite. Its like the middle East round here.
What would Helen do or say - bring in the mediators no doubt. Counselling?
Dover - where are you,have you reformed? That was not a deliberate invite to misbehave either. Over and out.

Well said.

The suggestion that Mods even remotely enjoy infractions is pathetic given as a consequence of an infraction we get the absolute complete going over by members.
I welcome any body who has an issue to write an explanation of a better way of moderstaing this site and then send it by PM to a senior Mod or Spankme, you all forget this is NOT a site owned by the members it is a site owned by Spankme, and he has layed down the rules, not the Mods, the rules are not OTT but they are there to make the site run smoothly, read the rules for the site usage, understand them, incorporate them in your postings and there wont be any issues.

Not all mods, just you Quasi.

That's exactly the point OAB. This is what use to make this forum so good. I'ts the piss takes, the humour, and yes at times it got over the top. But it was self regulatory. If any one got out of hand there were plenty of members who would come to their aid. But for Christ's sakes guys. It's only words. It's not as if a bunch of fives were coming through the monitor.

It's got to the point of being ridiculus. Threadstake off into their own and just when it starts toget exciting some mod comes up with keep it on topic. So what in the course of conversation a thread on seats goes of onto tits, sunglasses or whatever. It'a all info. Maybe some here want this site to be like other biker sites................if so then you do KBikers a disservice. It use to be uniqie. It is no longer because of it's rules and regulations............just like the others.
