measure of conduct...

[imamartian]

Admin, i've been here a while, and had a few scrapes. Seen many come and go... I've even mentioned the rules a few dozen times. However, i don't really know what kind of stance/attitude/activity presses DIYnot's "BAN" button.

The rules are broad, and the rumour talks about a number of threads closed due to individuals..

My point is, should we be party to the detail so we can avoid the boot? i mean, if i'm two deleted threads away from a boot, wouldn't it benefit us all if i knew that?

Just a thought !!

They may have a "Warning" level that only the user can see. Some PHP does, but this has been tweaked about so who knows.

the 'user' being who?

my only problem really is it's a bit like a speed limit... i'm quite happy that there's a limit... but it's just hard as a motorist when they don't tell what the maximum is !!!!!!

You could only see your own warning level, generally if you behave it drops back down.

The trouble with such a system would surelt be the inundation of petty squabbles and appeals with the mods and admin, which would take up too much energy. As it stands, you know how close to the wire you get by how many posts get removed. If you keep pushing the boundary then a short term ban will be applied I'd imagine anyway, or a pm from the powers-that-be advising you to change your ways.

Again I have modded with such and the rule was no appeal so dont bother.
Like here sometimes things take time, others instant. Although I think this is because of a lack of Moderating team.

Aye, common sense must rule, if you lack that ........

In a word "Goading" very popular here, it could encourage a chance and push you over the limit.

I doubt that it exists.

If it's like other forums, the mods/admin will have a separate hidden area where they'll discuss/highlight issues and or members. Presumably they come to agreed policies as to which topics are taboo.

The forum i was a joint admin on was php, and there wasn't one on that. Not contradicting you, but maybe this one hasn't either. Dunno!

All depends on the package and tweaks.
