IV. THE MODERATING TEAM
Moderators can EDIT, DELETE, HIDE and MOVE your posts and threads. They are the ones who will moderate topics and posts. They can issue warnings to any violations committed in our forum.
Moderators are also capable of BANNING ACCOUNTS and BANNING IP ADDRESSES. Remember that when your IP address gets banned, you will not be able to log-in again in FT forum using the same internet connection even if you will create a different username.
Moderators may delete and lock messages at their discretion. Part of the job of moderators is to keep the boards clean. Messages deemed inappropriate, old, or off topic may be deleted, hidden, or locked by moderators at any time.
The moderators cannot be on the board 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Therefore, objectionable or offensive posts may not be removed immediately. If you see an offensive post, you may report it by posting a message in the Request and Complaints under Feedbacks and Suggestion Board. Also, post the link of the thread for easier tracking.
The moderators have the final say. If you are told by a moderator to stop doing something, you cannot claim that it was not stated in the rules. It is impossible and impractical to list every rule possible. Attempting to circumvent a rule will result in a more severe warning. Also, the determination of things such as shouting, flaming, spamming, trolling, etc. is dependent on the moderators, not the users. Any complaints involving attempts to find loop holes in the rules and complaining that it was not explicitly stated in the rules will not be acted upon.
Disagreeing with them in anything other then a private, respectful manner will be considered not only harassment but trolling. If you have issues with moderation that has occurred, the correct actions to take is to contact the head moderator of a particular forum section you are inquiring about when attempting to resolve the issue. You can post your queries in the different moderator corners and stations at each team sub forums. If you are unable to resolve your issue, then you can take it to the Forum Administrator.
If you have any other question(s) regarding the forum, you may report it by posting a message in the Request and Complaints under Feedbacks and Suggestion Board.
V. MODERATOR GUIDELINES
1. Moderators are NOT allowed to edit member profiles, especially changing avatars and signatures, unless requested by the user.
2. Moderators should keep the forums clean and orderly.
3. Moderators should delete threads that may cause fights and misunderstanding.
4. Moderators should always be neutral.
5. Moderators should give warning to all violators, including those who are friends and senior members.
6. Moderators must not tolerate anyone.
7. Moderators should not allow non moderators to use their account for whatever purpose. If a non moderator is proven guilty of using a moderator account that member's IP address should be banned for 3 months.
* Proving of guilt may require 5 moderators to approve on this based on the presented evidences.
VI. GENERAL PENALTIES
The following penalties will be given to the members who incurred violations.
1st offense – 1st warning
2nd offense – 2nd warning
3rd offense - 3rd warning
4th warning - 4th warning
5th offense – 5th warning ( 20 days SUSPENSION of account)
6th offense – 6th warning (BANNING of account)
Suspended users can make a 2nd account. Nothing is wrong with that especially if the intention is good and will follow the rules and regulations of this forum. However, if the user incurs violations, the following penalties will be given.
1st offense – 1st warning
2nd offense – 2nd warning
3rd offense – 3rd warning (1 months SUSPENSION of account)
4th offense – 4th warning (BANNING of IP address)
Rules for Banning an IP address.
1.) A member gets his/her IP address banned when he/she purposely use multiple username accounts to cause arguments and unhealthy discussions in any section of the forum.
2.) A member gets his/her IP address banned when his/her username, signature and posts purposely attempt to cause trouble, continuing to disrespect the forum rules, moderator warnings and other members' rights and opinions.
VII. RULES ENFORCEMENT
Excuses for not knowing the rules will not be accepted. These include claims about being a "too new to have read the rules". The rules apply equally to everyone, old members and new ones.
Failure to abide by the rules corresponds to a punishment such as warning, suspension, temporary ban or even lifetime ban so be sure to follow the rules religiously.
When any of the above rules are violated or supposed violation occurs, moderators, at their sole discretion, determine an appropriate remedy. Should there be a disciplinary action taken against your account, moderators will post your username in the Members w/ Warnings or the Suspended Members list.
These rules are subject to change with or without prior notice. So it is imperative that you check the rules and read them from time to time.
Access to this forum is a privilege and not a right. The Administrator with the help of the moderators monitors the forum to the best of their ability and at their own discretion.
