We've been around as a community for over 7 years now. In the past the membership has always seemed to understand that we have rules and also understood that they were the shepherds of their local boards. Most local boards haven't ever had any assigned moderator or seen much moderation at all. Did I mention we have rules...
http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=107.0 ...read them. They apply everywhere on the forum.
While I was on vacation I received a heads up that things were not very DMF like in the OzMo board. On my return I assigned a moderator. Someone I know and trust to be fair, but not take any bullshit from anyone. He's also an Aussie so he has a better idea of the version of English you speak and what is appropriate. If he asks you to do something you have choices. You can act like an adult and comply, you can act like an adult and respectfully disagree via pm, or you can shake your fist, verbally assault him in public, and show what an ass you are. I can assure you the last option will get you a time out from your participation on the DMF. Just so you know we have a three strikes policy...two if you're a real ass.
I stand behind his actions 100% because I believe that the OzMo board can once again be a place for everyone to enjoy as opposed to a hangout for a few juvenile members.
Thanks for listening.
