Updates to Oakley Forum Rules/Mod Actions 2020

For the umpteenth time, the management said to use the report button.
Well... I don't know what else to suggest. Locking should be a last resort, IMO.

For the equivalent umpteenth time, tell those crying about the lock to....use the report button

Good on you. Roommates paid rent early this month?

Actually the Ducati hatchet you just shipped me did

Also which house. We have two

I'm a powerless peon.

It's done. The decision is the decision. Send a PM to continue discussing it.

I've seen countless others inquire about this very issue, but now I'm genuinely curious about it as well.

Being that the rules are just arbitrarily applied as desired by the mod team, does that also mean that the number of points issued for a given warning are also arbitrarily decided as well?

Also, can we get more clarity on how things that we report are 'moderated?' We all know the mods have told other members that certain members report them, but what I'm asking is, can there be a more uniform policy as to informing the reporting party how things were settled?

It would also be nice to know when your own posts are reported and how those are handled.

You can't expect people to learn and navigate within a ruleset that isn't applied equitably nor explained very well!!

I believe this explains, unless it’s changed...

Updates to Oakley Forum Rules/Mod Actions 2020

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...

Have cleaned this toxic thread but wanted to address this question regardless.

Yes, points are standardized. No mod nor myself can change the values of a warning when issuing. Point values do vary between type of earning e.g flaming vs. violating exchange guidelines, but I won’t disclose the specific amounts to avoid members “not minding a lower value warning”.

But bottom line is yes point values are objective. Sure where warnings get applied are always somewhat subjective, we have defined general criteria here but every situation/context is different.

I like my points like I like my school lunches. Doubled

How do you check your strikes/points against you?

Insult @OakleyBoss. He will tell you how many more he added to your existing total. It works for me 100% of the time
