There have been a number of discussions around the rules on the site, and how they need to be enhanced/standardized. While we have no intention to create censorship what we heard from members was rules need to applied, and they need to be applied consistently to all members.

That being said, the rules have generally stayed the same and there will be additional conversations around these, but wanted to inform you of how they will be applied. This is meant to crackdown on the disrespectful comments, inappropriate comments and flaming across the board. In full transparency we are letting members know of this change and how it will be applied effective immediately.

Warnings

The moderator team will utilize warnings for an posts that violate the rules of the site. When a user is issued a warning, it will be logged and "points" applied. These points will ultimately lead to action against your account. Points will be standardized across the Mod team, to remove any subjective nature. Generally warnings will be issued for:

Disrespectful/Flaming Post (E.g: Arguing with another member, name calling, expletives, being disrespectful to another member etc. - talking truely mean posts here, not playful)
Inappropriate Language (E.g: Using an expletive, light name calling)
Inappropriate Content (E.g Posting an inappropriate picture, porn, personal details of a member or otherwise)

Note: These warnings will be issued to any/all who are involved and violate these rules. E.g If Member 1 starts flaming and Member 2 responds with additional flaming, both members will receive the warning. The excuse of "he started it" is childish. We're all adults, report the post and leave it alone.

Actions

As a result of accumulating warnings/points actions are standardized and once again will be taken. To provide context the violations above range from 5-10 points based on the severity, so generally each step up represents an additional warning. Once again this is being shared for complete transparency to the board, so that no one can say they were unaware.

First Offense - Warning / PM
15 points- 48 hour ban
25 points - 1 week ban
35 points - 1 month ban
45 points - 3 month ban
55 points - Lifetime ban

Feedback
To maintain the integrity of the feedback system, no feedback will be deleted. Similar to today, feedback will require a valid thread and other controls in place to prevent abuse, but ultimately it is up to a member to leave feedback. If you receive negative feedback, that is prerogative of the seller.

Exchange Threads

Exchange threads should stay on topic to the item being sold and not be hijacked by other members. Members may provide guidance/thoughts on the price of an item in a civil/respectful manner, e.g (Typically I see these goes for...). There is no need for name calling or otherwise disrespectful behavior per the earlier comments.

As always open to conversation, ideas etc. At this point, no one can control or change the past, just the future. We're all here because we love Oakley, thats what this board is all about - Now lets get back to Oakleys!!

Mods should not be hiding and deleting posts either without notification , if you delete my post man up and tell me!

This is part of the new procedures, that you will receive a PM when a warning is issued, which should be the cases when a post is deleted.
 
Apologies if I have posted anything inappropriate or caused offence to anybody.
