| Re: Our so called "Elite" Members or higher
Dark1Angel, we do not treat older members any different then the ones that haven't been here as long. In fact, if you have less then a 100 posts and been here less then a week, we give you a warning, a link to the rules and send you on your way and if you mess up again, then you get an infraction.
No one gets special treatment, either good treatment if they're a good member, or a troublesome member who gets harsh treatment wouldn't get treated any harsher just because they've been troublesome in the past.
While the way the staff handles stuff might differ staff member to staff member, the result is always the same, the issue is dealt with the same way: an infraction or warning is given out based on the situation, and if it warrants it, the user is put forward in the ban request page in the staff forum, where the staff member has to make their case why that user should be banned, other staff members weigh in on the decision, giving their reasonings why or why not the user should be banned, then the choice is made by Dragon Ball or Trunks, the two admins of the site.
We're a community site, permanently banning someone from the site removes someone from that community, and we want to see the community grow, not get smaller, so the process isn't automatic. |
