Denis W. Veteran Posted February 19, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 19, 2009 Good luck. (Y) It's about time we get some cleanup on news comments; moderation there used to be a lot more lax than the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calum Veteran Posted February 22, 2009 Veteran Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Well that involve some kind of time travel device? :unsure: Cos I've seen that movie, it just got confusing. :( :laugh: Ah, no no. I have other ways to prevent them ;) It's just a bunch of things, really. I'm thinking if some users see my moderation in the news comments, they will begin to know what we do not tolerate here and learn for next time; hence, preventing inappropriate comments from them in future. The same applies if I advise a user that any of their comments have been inappropriate; after revising the rules, I would hope they would learn for next time and this would prevent inappropriate comments from them in the future. Finally, by having the rules in my signature and just promoting the rules as much as possible, I would hope more users would become aware of them and realise the types of news comment we tolerate/appreciate. I will try my best and let's just say, if a user continually breaks the rules, they will not be welcome here :) I'll be the only one time traveling around here, understood? Gotcha! (Y) ;) :D (that was my plan B, ya see... :whistle:) Edited February 22, 2009 by CalumJR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leesmithg Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 So what is it you need to join the club of funny hand shakes and silly walks? I am an admin at another site b.t.w. I asked this as I see some people that joined not-so-long-ago suddenly having privileges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we need staff, we generally have an idea of members we have noticed that we believe would make good staffers. Be a good member, be helpful, be courteous, stick to the rules, and we might notice you. But there are no guarantees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
