Ozhonda Infractions System

[honest muz]

Far from a power kick - the idea is to make moderator decisions more consistent. That way it is more difficult for X moderator to be harsher than another moderator or have a particular bias against certain individuals.

We also haven't changed what people can and can't say on this site since August 2005 (the terms and conditions regarding content were last updated then). So your gripe about freedom of speech sounds like sour grapes rather than constructive feedback. Things have not changed regarding posting content since 2005.

There is also no such thing as a right to free speech in Australia - we are not in the USA. But thanks for your input. Your constant gripes about the moderating team are always enlightening.

This set of rules is a good thing in my view. The word community comes to mind, with different generations, points of view coming together, hopefully with a richness and synergistic dynamic that adds to the vibe. Way to go guys!

I've been a moderator on a US based site for motorcycles in the past. We didn't have a points system. To me it's a bit like being the kid with the most footy cards.

But hey, how cool is it being a moderator???

how is a points based infraction system is like footy cards? that is retarded

a better comparison would be with your local rta/vicroads. there are set penalties for each offence (well i know there is in victoria) which is to prevent unfair or biased treatment.

anyone complaining about a system designed to make it fairer for EVERYONE needs to get their head checked

He's refering to the pq points system.
People try to get as many as they can, like kids with footy cards.
