Mods need to issue verbal warnings more


Recommended Posts

Well, basically title says it all. Mods need to start issuing verbal warns when someone breaks rules, flames, spams, whatever.

And then if they are ignored, warn, lock topics, whatever the situation calls for.

I don't see mods popping into threads and letting people know they need to calm down and be respectful as much as they should.

From what I've seen even before I left YCM, verbal warnings very rarely stopped anyone. I agree, the first verbal warning is the first step. But people easily get out of hand and don't bother listening to the first, second, or third one.

If this is to urge the mods to do the first one, then I definitely support this. I just don't think they should wait for people to calm down after the second verbal warning at the most.

Exactly. That's the point though. My second part.

I typically only use verbal warns, unless something is unquestionably deserving of more.

 

...what happened yesterday?

 

Incident brewed up, and I ended up having to ban TEW and warn some. Let's not talk about it.

 

Tbh, verbal warns will be more effective if it also includes proper warns, especially to members that should've known better.

 

But still, support.

100000000000% support.

Verbal is a necessary step and can easily prevent shit from happening. 

Sometimes, people don't even know when they're stepping out of line (not saying this was the case last night, as it was not).

 

And that way, you guys can at least say "we warned you" when something actually does happen.

I typically give verbal warns first, before I start issuing actual warnings.

Of course, if members already broke it in the past, they really shouldn't get verbal ones to be honest.

 

That being said, it'll at least lend substance to any physical warns we give, since we did warn you verbally + then you chose not to heed it. (Of course, there are some members who decide to ignore posts/PMs + won't see the warning; only way you're getting through them is the physical one)

 

In essence, first warn given is a verbal reminder (stop doing it or else) and second/subsequent offenses are actual ones.

 

 

 

But support though; shouldn't be that much of a problem.

A verbal warning serves more than just to reprimand the member that is out of line, it's also a reminder for other people to not cross the line. There's no reason not to support this, so 100% support from me.

 

However, another thing that is needed is a clear punishment system in each of the subsections. List all the punishable offenses and the punishments for it. This is actually a rather effective way to keep people on line as they know exactly what they can be held responsible with, and a mod cannot be accused of bias. Just my two cents.

In all seriousness. It should be common sense.
