Based on your responses, here is the new plan:
Unless asked, admins will not edit posts. One unacceptable word, and it will be deleted entirely.
Deletion is dependant upon guidelines set up in "Our Rules" found at the top of the forum pages. Additional guidelines for particularly "hot" topics may also be implemented, and, as always, are at the discretion of the admins/moderators.
Please report posts that are not in compliance with the trot.org rules. We can't be everywhere.
Infraction Guides
For an egregious deletion such as a blatant classified or flame (i.e. double posts don't count against you), a system warning along with an infraction will be given. The infraction points (probation) will disappear after 30 days.
If a second infraction occurs within that 30 days, the user ID will be banned for 3 days. Banning means NO posts, NO PMs. You can read, but you can't play. There will be no warning at this point. Again, infraction points will be given for 30 days.
After that 3 day ban, if you still have problems controlling your fingers within 30 days, you will receive a 10 day ban. This time, the infraction (probation as it is) will last for 6 months.
Serious control issues? Another infraction within that 6 month time period and you will be banned from trot.
For those who continually "test" the limits of the 30 days, we will decide on a case by case basis.
And, think you're being a smarty pants and decide to sign up with a new user ID while banned? Better think again. Automatic infraction violation that ups you to the next level.
In order to implement this, we are opening up the forums while doing some testing of the system. It may not be perfect originally, but we wanted to open up the rescue forum.
If you play nicely and think before you hit send, you won't have a problem.
