I made this thread to make moderating easier for everyone on the team. The first post will constantly be edited to add new definitions. Questions can be asked to clarify things. As always, administrators have final say. Please keep this thread minimalistic as possible.

Spam - one word answers OR opinions without any reasons, unrelated to initial post
Posts - factual posts that can have opinions attached
Delete - spam, warez or porn topics
Lock - minor offensive threads

Doesn't this belong in the Staff forum because that's where all the moderators are?

Question: Do we want to delete or change spam posts?
Depends on how spammy they are. I actually prefer unapproving them so they remain as evidence of spam.

Question: If the initial post of a thread is spam, do we lock it or delete it?
If it's like really bad (pron, massive amounts of random text, etc), delete it. Otherwise, just lock it.

Because the Staff forum also has the PEOPLE in it. The PEOPLE include spammers, though I'm not saying everyone is a spammer. Here, I can discuss topics that plague SEN, without going offtopic, such as comparing symbols of Hitler to pie.

With that logic, couldn't you also say that the thread "state of SEN" belongs in Staff as well?

I placed this in this thread because I wanted to discuss this thread with the select people, that should be known for their constructiveness.

I appreciate you replying, but what you say is very vague. "Spammy", "massive" "really" doesn't clarify things at all, since people have different definitions of each.

I guess Staff forum is only for Staff. I just thought after I saw Slyence's post that it was going to be another useless forum... Anyway, this should be moved.

What do you want, a code of laws like Law 800.3 section 5?

I'll copy over a PM I sent to you:

How do we define spam? Simply: we don't. We keep definitions open and apply them when we need to in a reasonable way. If we spell out straight up definitions, people will try to find loopholes and exploit them. By keeping our terms open, there are no loopholes, and we can interpret however we wish. If you feel something is wrong, then take action. It should be on a case by case basis, with a seperate but fair reasoning each time.


Following this, I think each moderator should have their own style and not be restricted to what a set of books tells them to do. Moderators should be able to think for themselves and have judgement enough to do so.

I'll give an opinion here though...

If nobody's replied to it yet, generally yes.

I'm not trying to drag the question, but what's to stop them from exploiting the "free" system in the first place?

Well the question was either to lock it or delete it...

But I assume we delete it.
