I have admin teams on my forums… they can access the backend and post as admin. That way more hours per day are covered with admin present in case some tech problems arise.
Gamtrak, no one has been banned here in some time, everyone is free to speak their mind. And from what I know, no one person can ban anymore, it takes warnings to the member and consensus.
“accidental bannings” are a thing of the past.
6.0 Infractions and Banning guidelines
In order to help maintain the professionalism of the forums, administrators and moderators have been given the ability to issue infractions. Consider an infraction a warning to change or face removal from the community.
6.1 All infractions will come from a forum moderator or administrator and will include a description. If you do not understand the reason you received the infraction, please ask for clarification. Your silence will signify your acceptance and understanding of the infraction.
6.2 After three (3) infractions a user will be up for administrative review. Based on the nature of the infractions, a decision will be made as to the account standing of the user. After administrative review, the user may be placed on a temporary “vacation” which will allow them to view, but not post in the forum, or the user may be banned for an extended period of time depending on the severity of the situation.
6.4 If you come across a user that has made a comment or pm that you feel warrants an infraction, please notify a forum moderator.
