Careless Whisper Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 One question about the Mod descisions. Are you also discussing if we'll get a new Fan-Fic/Roleplay Mod? That's all I'm asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds the fairest, but impractical. Earning something over time implies having somebody regularly monitoring your behaviour. Now, considering the majority of members who are given warnings, these are either a) Compulsive posters, who are impossible to track at all moments, or b) people who post around 40 times in their entire stay, then vanish.Considering the large number of members in this site it'd be impossible to keep tabs on who has earned forgiveness and who hasn't - hence the automatic waiting period. There's not much one can do to go around it, either drop the system altogether, make the warnings permanent (which I think, would lead to a whole lot of problems especially if the warnings weren't really that necessary to begin with), or go with what we already have, perhaps tweaking the lasting period. 2 cents gone just like that. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Altair Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 On PR they haz the terrificest system =D Permanent Warning but only on really spammy thingies and sheet like that. If you start behaving properly and help out they will remove your warning. Also if you were like a noob but have improved you may ask them to remove it and if they see that you have gotten better they'll remove it. It seems to work perfectly =P Btw nothing like +20 or +30 %, +10% mostly but if it's a big offense then it's higher =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodrun Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Warnings are just that, a warning.It's not a punishment, it's there to open the eyes of the member, in the hopes that they will change what they are doing. The warning is issued to tell the member what they're are doing wrong.The warning, is also not set as a permanent default, because, as you all should know by now, when a member receives a 100% warning they are banned for 3 days, thus making the warning last only a certain amount of time, leaves enough time for the member to change his or her ways, and leave a banning a possibility as a punishment, in case the member does not change.

Phantom Roxas Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 You didn't mention what would happen in the case of Umbra not being on. The Super Mods have to monitor every section, and while we have a fair amount, I think we need a normal Fanfic/Roleplay Mod for when Umbra's not on.

RestLess-BoTics Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Oh, I have another idea. [: [spoiler=Another Fantastic Glassy Idea] I believe we should alter the maximum amount of reputation points given each day. For example, we could set up some sort of organized system: >Members that are classified as one-star members - Maximum: Three reputation points per day.>Members that are classified as two-star members - Maximum: Four reputation points per day.>Members that are classified as three-star members - Maximum: Five reputation points per day.>Members that are classified as four-star members - Maximum: Six reputation points per day.>Members that are classified as five-star members - Maximum: Seven reputation points per day.>Members that are classified as six-star members - Maximum: Eight reputation points per day. The reason for slightly increasing the maximum amount of reputation points per day for the higher ranked members, would be that members who are higher ranked, tend to be more experienced than newer members. These higher ranked members, are usually the people that host forum events, and in these forum events, prizes are used to attract the attention of the members of YCM. I've noticed that the hosts have to wait long periods of time, in order for all the prizes that involve reputation points to be handed out. So, in order to fix this problem, we can increase the maximum of reputation points given each day. Lower ranked members, have a reasonable maximum of three per day, and with three, the newer members may be easily monitored, as a follow-up to see if they're properly following the rules. So, in order to work up to a higher maximum of reputation points, they'll have to contribute more to the forum, by posting more. This organized system, gives members rewards along the way, which will guarantee that most of them will be eager to reach their goals. Finally, if you add a few more rewards to this system, such as: > A positive reputation point for the top poster of the week.> 500 points, for the member that made the most threads within a certain time period.> A free name change, or credit for a free name change, could be given to the member that types up the best biography on a past YCM member. These biographies could be submitted in the form of a contest application, which will then be judged by a panel of selected members. This way, members will learn more about past YCM members either through reading, or writing biographies. Activity will surely increase throughout YCM.
