Temporary Ban for Press Guideline Violators

[Zangelbert Bingledack]

Talk about using a bazooka to kill a fly.

[Raoul Duke]

Kiba, moderating is more than scolding users for not following rules. You should fix what's wrong AND scold them, if that's your thing.
Also, please look further than the title formating, because the users cryptocoinnews and bitstop only post links to their blogs. cryptocoinnews likes to post FUD, bitstop only posts 2nd-hand articles, as in copies them from other sites.

cryptocoinnews likes to post FUD,

He's also a plagiarist. His content is entirely stolen down to the point where he doesn't even bother to remove references to the site he stole from from the article. (like "Here at the [publication x] offices we have often said..."/"[publication x] readers know by now that...")

Posts about the format of a title are not content and they do not belong in the offending thread.

Nobody wants to see the janitor, we just want a clean space.

What did he do?

[Lethn]

And so the Bitcoin forum did get usurped by power hungry users who ruined everything and there was then a mass exodus leaving nothing behind but spammers.

What did he do?

a mod shoudnt act like this

What the fuck is this? More incorrect date formatting?

Date fixed. I need to do something against people who don't fix their own shit.

It's a mean of "education", given that people don't read the god damn press guideline.

Is that a quote? He's power tripping. Happens pretty often when one gets ones first mod position. Give it a week and he should have it out of his system. If he's still tripping after a week, he might have been the wrong choice for the position.

you act like u have a lot of experience gayhawk

I think those who don't understand a clear warning in the form of a reply or a PM from moderator, should get atleast writing lock (can only write PM) for a few days. Or maybe get banned from the Press for a while.
A short ban doesn't hurt..  but might open eyes

Nobody is perfect, every mod goes a little too far at first.  It's a seesaw.until you find the right equilibrium.

This is the kind of dumb shit I do ban for, fuck off.

[krudkeeper]

global mods can ban

did not know you could ban. wow, i thought only admins had that power...

Global mods can ban anyone, usually only used for spammers, phishers and the like. Been that way for 3 or 4 months, since the run up to 100+. Bans for other reasons are still supposed to go through theymos. Local mods can ban newbie status members only.

[BadBear]

No, those go through theymos still, like I said. Not gonna shove it off on him just because he actually pushed it through. I take responsibility for my actions.

Kinda, I've been a moderator and/or moderation staff team leader on forums of this size or bigger for the last 5 years.

I like your posts qwk, they are almost always photos but just the right ones:)

[kiba]

Ain't fixing people's shit at the press forum anymore, either as a mod or a regular user.

1. Been told that I can't say "NEED DATE FIXING" in the forum thread.

2. Been told to simply quietly correct it.

3. Not getting support to help reduce irregularity in the press forum.

4. Been told that this is only "guideline".
