All,
Hopefully you will have noticed that a set of Community rules/guidelines have been drafted, with the aim of improving your overall use of the Saxperience Community. If you've not seen the guidelines,
take a look here...
To help to ensure that the guidelines are followed and that moderation of the rules and rule breakers is simple and visible to all, a new system has been incorporated into the Saxperience forums... the
'infraction system'.
This system is something I expect some users will get to grips with quicker than others
Essentially this offers a clear way of communicating when members have overstepped the mark and some penalisation is warranted and it also enables automatic management of trouble makers.
There are two ways the system can be used (at the discretion of the moderating team). Either to warn (yellow card) a member or to penalise (red card) a member.
Whenever an infraction penalty is given, the community members are able to see why the infraction was given and what penalty was given. The member who received the infraction penalty may receive further details via PM.
Infraction penalties can be accumulated and may expire over time... All infraction penalties received are shown within the 'user control panel'.
If you manage to collect 10 infraction points then your use of the Saxperience forum will be extremely troublesome. If you manage to collect 20 infraction points, then your user account will suffer a ban, which may be relaxed when your infraction points fall below the appropriate limit.
Sounding complicated yet??
The infraction categories and penalties may be subject to change whilst the use of this system develops.
Here is an overview of how the infraction penalties are currently setup.
Please let me have your feedback both for and against this system
