    Default A word on Moderator Discretion, Room 101 and the new Hidden Forum.

    A word on Moderator Discretion...

    It's impossible to forsee, name and categorize every single infraction possible, or the context of every situation requiring mod action. Likewise it's not possible to assign a standard punishment for any given (and at this point still imaginary) situation.

    Moderators may choose to handle situations differently than one another, within the general provisions of the rules, based on their estimate of appropriate measures in light of the context of the infraction and (if applicable) the circumstances leading up to it.

    The mods are not here to persecute posters. We are posters, and we have an excellent system of checks and balances in place - mutual respect. This includes all posters at Domebo.

    On Warnings and being placed in Room 101:

    Mod Warnings, Banishment to Room 101 and Banning. A long stay in Room 101 will typically be the result of several Warnings. There may be occasions where it is used as the first measure if the offense is deemed extreme or as a simple and short cooling off period in a hot exchange, but in general a Mod Warning will precede Room 101. Banning is usually the last resort. Unlike in the case of banning, a Room 101 restricted poster may still plead their case or interact with the board. An argument can continue in an appropriate forum. The user can and should be able to adjust and return to the board.

    The Private Forum

    Lastly, we are going to be using a private forum for moderator discussion. We will use this forum to discuss board issues among ourselves so that we are better able to gain consensus among the mod staff with regard to interpretation of rules, executing housekeeping and providing better service to the Domebo community.
    This will be our consensus attempt to deliver consistent moderation. The moderating team worked this up in the new forum and we all agreed to it. So far this is the first discussion that we have moved out to ADF.

    The Mod team and CRSP and Pepperlandgirl are the only ones with access to the hidden forum. We plan to move discussions out of it as often as possible.

    Disclaimer, I am acting as secretary, getting this posted and will add it to the rules after discussion, the entire team batted this around and wording was from at least 3 of us. My part being the least.

    So nobody's commenting on this? I must have missed a lot. I thought having everything out in the open was part of why we started this place. What's with the turn of events?

    No wonder this place feels so stagnant. You're still spending more time talking about the boards than creating a community.

    ....those discussions ran for two days a week ago, with no policy discussion since then, but ok.

    ETA: This place is stagnant because there ain't nobody here. If you have any ideas for how we can build the community besides what we are already trying, I would honestly love to hear them.

    Myrna please don't go inserting any facts and reason into a perfectly weak bitchy comment.

    Shit. It's been really quiet in my office lately, too. I hope my company isn't going out of business.

    Are they still holding meetings anyway?

    If you don't know what to do...

    If the world is coming to an end...

    Have a meeting, waffle and bluster and hope it all turns out OK.
