I am finding it difficult if not impossible to understand the latest warnings and reminders. Which could lead to suspension. What on earth is going on?
If no-ones named it's not a warning, just a reminder. Not that I'm the moderator though.Less of the paranoia please
Me to Vin, I've received a warning on the WSM/SPGB strategy thread for asking about the party names in relation to a Scottish vote for independence. I think that's relevant in terms of party strategy, seeing as others were discussing the subject of the party name.Looks like you and me have our cards marked. Minor infringements that others can get away with gets us a warning.We are gonna have to be ultra squeaky clean in future.
Hi DJPI'm not having a dig at you, I know your not the moderator. There is a first warning for off topic edited into post #40 on the WSM/SPGB strategy in 2014 thread. But you're right, I am being a bit over sensitive. I'll try and knock it on the head.

What is the point of 1st warning? What happens at 3 or 4 warnings? It is importand to know because I believe 3 warnings and you can receive an indefinate ban. Which when you consder what other forum members have done on a nameless thread, it just appears rediculous to me. I don't think paranoia comes into . Some get away with a lot while others have to tread on egg shells. It is an objective observation and can be proved true: No matter which scientific method I use.

I post a Reminder when posts are starting to stray from the topic of the thread. Its not aimed at any user in particular but at all users. If any user ignores that reminder and breaches the guidelines and rules I then post a 1st Warning attached to the post in question. If any of the rules continue to be breached by the poster I will attach a 2nd Warning to the post where the further breach occurred. If I have to issue a 3rd Warning because of a further breach I follow this up with a PM to the user explaining what my next course of action will be if they continue to breach the rules: 1. I can put the user under moderation; 2. I can suspend the user for a definite/indefinite period. I will usually only take the latter action if there's a serious breach i.e. using a puppet account, or deliberate anti-social behaviour. Since the new guidelines and rules have been in place I've only had to issued two suspensions, both of which were for serious breaches. Although, lately I've issued Warnings on several threads overall the posting of a Reminder seems to be working by effectively prompting users to take care on what they post.However, if any user disagrees with any action I've taken the PM facility is available for me to reconsider my moderation, or to discuss modifying their behaviour.Hope this helps.
OK. Thanks for the clarification, Mod1.
