techrecoveryMy style of moderation is the same method that I use in my personal journal, which has three four rules.
1) 1st amendment is loosely enforced here. (See explaination about this here.)
2) Don't be a dick.
3) This community is for talking about the "behind the scenes" at tech support. don't ask for help here, you will be mocked mercilessly. Also, try to keep the language R rated. Read the Info page for a better description of what I mean.
4) Don't be a dick.
That having been said, I'm pretty easy going, but if I have to wield the Ban Hammer, look out, 'cause I gets uggly fast.
Edit:: I'm speaking as one of the new mods, not the original moderators or the original creator.
Ya'll had to push me. ::sigh:: As if my life didn't suck enough already.

Date: 2005-09-15 04:27 pm (UTC)i reached my limit yesterday with that mallory person or whoever it was. they were constantly posting the same inflammatory, completely unhelpful, off the rules, stirring it up for no particular reason post.
after deleting the thing 5 times last night i went ahead and removed his posting access.
after he (apparently) left the community and rejoined, apparently regaining posting access, and posted the same post AGAIN, i removed him completely, changed the community to a moderated membership comm (hopefully only temporary), and promptly rejected his membership a few minutes later when he tried to join again.
i'm hoping that moderating new members doesn't have much of a disruption, and should only be a short term thing.

i'm very laid back, i'm very open, i give lots of leeway. but if an offending post has been made, deleted, and re-made 5 times and you just aren't getting the hint, then... well... you fall into that number 4 you have up there. also the number 2.

Date: 2005-09-15 04:29 pm (UTC)it'd be nice to be able to make a post to the comm that is only visible to the other mod's.

Date: 2005-09-15 05:19 pm (UTC)Define "off topic". THis community exists as a discussion place where people can vent about their jobs, and ask other techs for advice (on occasion, and usually a bit of groveling is implied.)

Date: 2005-09-15 06:11 pm (UTC)it was 50/50 to me whether or not to post a message regarding the continuing incident, in the end i voted against posting something else on an already tired, worn out, and unnecessary topic.
feel free to forward me the message, i left a comment on the offenders latest lj entry explaining the action i had taken, he should have responded to me.

Date: 2005-09-15 06:16 pm (UTC)perhaps he wants us to ban him so that it'll be easier to resist his temptation to flame in the future?

You'll never take me alive, mod boy. Not without a lot of Guinness. We're talking kegs. Bring the keg and we'll have Techies Gone Wild... no wait, where are you going? Dammit! I'll put it back on, I'll put it back on! We don't even have to use the discoball tap that plays porn music when you pour! Comon.
Fine. I reiterate my post-mortem necrophiliac tendencies.
*quick translation of all this crap:* Congrats on the new powah. Use it well, or at least amusingly.
