Admin/Moderator Guidelines

[Burke]

What ever happened to the guidelines that we were hashing out a couple of months ago? I thought the intent was to eventually post them somewhere so everyone (not just the moderators and admins) knew what to expect.

I don't know. What DID happen to those guidelines?

Was this possibly meant for someplace NOT public? :SM087:

Oh well. Almost 3 am. Have to be up in 5 hours. I think maybe I'll get some sleep. Catch ya all by the light of the evil day-moon!

Good question... and there is an answer. The Administrator staff did some research, wrote the guidelines and then posted them in the moderator forum. (In fairness I should say that Aldo hand wrote a great set of guidelines and put much thought and effort into the project.) In that place we (admin and moderators) can discuss posts, members and actions without having to air the dirty laundry in the public forums. As to posting the guidelines on the public forum, that would probably have to be discussed between the Admin staff.

So yes they exist.

I'm thinking our moderator guidelines should be in that area Jim. New members see a long list of what they should do upon signing up. We'll just squash bad behavior unless you would like to institute something more public. I'm always open to suggestion!

I would leave the mod guidelines in the mod forum.

Thanks for the update. You can all do as you choose with the guidelines of course but it seems that having them available to the members would help everyone know the expectations. Reference the rules that we agreed to when signing up, I certainly don't remember what they were. Are they available for review after the initial sign up?

I guess the main reason I am asking is that I have noticed some things happening or not happening that I thought would be corrected with the guidelines.

If you have a concern... let us know. If you choose you can always send requests to us via PM or email. As for member guidelines... Dan probably knows where they are...

Is this the link Burke is referring to... if so... we can put it at the bottom of the forum as it is at the bottom of the home page.
