Peace and Blessings Family,
We're going to do warning / violations / moderation different than we have in the past.
This will be the first piece of this new system ... public warnings being issued to the violating post.
When you violate any one of our 13 rules ... you'll receive a warning in that post, that will also appear on your profile page ... and a private conversation will be sent to you too, notifying you of the warning ... that you can't respond to ... but you're welcome to open a new thread in the Violations Forum ... to talk about if you'd like.
Each warning will have a point or two associated with it (along with an expiration date), and when you reach a total of 5 points, your access to the community will automatically be limited. Some rule violations will have more and/or different points or consequences associated with it. I'm still figuring that part out, which rule violations will get what consequence. As it's determined, you all will know.
In an effort to bring this first piece to the table ... warnings given over the next few days, will not count in real life ... ... but it will allow us to see the kinds of things that will be warned (things that folk have gotten away with in the past) ... allowing everyone to adjust their behavior so that they can stay within the rules.
For example, i don't think yall see yourselves personalizing the discussion ... so i'm going to show you ... every time i see it ... with a warning ... and you'll receive a point or two ... and when you reach 5 your access will be limited.
So we can use this transition period for us all to learn the system ... as well as adjust ourselves if necessary.
Another important piece to this new system ... that will be coming soon ... is that ... if you are a [USERGROUP=9]Premium Member[/USERGROUP] you will have the opportunity to issue warnings ... be Moderators ... if you choose ... if your behavior has been rule abiding ... if you are folk i can work with on my TEAM ... if i can feel confident that you will be fair, unbiased, and welcoming to all ... so many things go into being a part of my TEAM ... managing this community ... but Premium Members that fit the bill ... and want to help in this capacity ... will be much appreciated.
That's coming soon ... but for now ... we're trying out the new warning system.
There has been a LOT OF PERSONALIZING THE DISCUSSIONS!
There has been a LOT OF NAME CALLING.
These are rule violations ... review all 13 Rules ... or else you're problee not finna be happy with me.
From this point forward ... we'll be seeing new warnings for violations ... who's gonna be first?
If you have any questions, just ask.
Much Love and Peace.
