How lenient are you as a staff member? (Forums)

[Heatman]

The truth of the matter is that when there are so many people that are active on your website there will always be one case or another from their interaction but you have to be very lenient with them in order for you not to scatter your website by yourself by being too harsh.

Sometimes administrator bans indiscriminately, sometimes it's the boots fault I can understand that human beings can be difficult but there should be plenty for each offense and not outright ban some people are actually ignorant

Seriously, it is very important that as a moderator in a website or the owner, you should be lenient with people that are active on your website even if they break the rules, you can to let them understand unless the person is not open to understanding his mistakes then you can ban him permanently.

I think staff members on the forum must be lenient. Otherwise members will leave the forum. For example, the admin of Beermoney Forum is just too strict and he bans members without even listening to what the member has to say. This is why many people have stopped posting there.

One of the most common sources of problems, in my opinion, is the refusal to even read the regulations, let alone follow them. Staff members should be lenient enough to issue one or two warnings before imposing a lifetime ban in major cases and possibly suspending accounts for a few days in less serious cases.

Most forum staff members are lenient and this is due to the fact that they have been in the game for long and have learned to tolerate members, especially if that's your first time of defaulting.

If am a website management, I can be very linient to my members if they actually do with my terms and conditions. Otherwise I will suspend then or even replace them with nother member.

People are going to override you when you are too lenient in the workplace. so it is very important to set a boundary as a result. this does not mean that you shouldn't engage in cordial relationship with those who are in the same workplace as you.

If I have a part of the forum where it is okay to post nsfw posts and they post in a regular forum then I am not too mad, but if it's a forum that strictly forbids it , they get a warning. If they are second or third time offenders, ban

Well the truth is as much as we want to be strict, disciplined and maintain order, there'll always be the sentiments based on the fact that there are a some people who bring a lot of progress to your forum and even if they err, you'll be lenient in judgement.

The best way to deal with any of the members of a forum who go against the rules and regulations of the site is to be giving a very strong warning at l ast for three times before any strong action would be taking, because no one is perfect and anyone could also make any of the mistakes by going against the rules and regulations of a forum.

Employees who are involved in decision-making feel their contribution is valued, and the process of sharing opinions and discussing work matters itself can foster a sense of teamwork and improve relationships between workers themselves.

From a forums perspective, most staff members on forums have had to deal with at least one form of rule breaking from members, even if it was something minor. But I was wondering, how do you deal with people who break those big/important rules (such as no posting adult content/illegal stuff)? Do you remove the content and give them a warning? or do you give them an automatic suspension/short ban for posting it at all? Do you base your decision on the particular member and their history?

For me, if it's a bigger rule (such as the above) then long-standing member or not, you broke the big one and that means you're getting the boot. For more minor rule breaks, I will take into account the situation and the member at hand to see if I do need to do anything a bit more severe (like a mute etc.)

As a staff member i think that it is important that you stick to the rules and that you warn the members as they start to go of course or if they are starting to make mistakes because then they can correct it as early as possible.

Spamming is a grave violation on forums, and I see people spamming, I am quite strict and immediately send warnings. However, for minor mistake such as adding links to the posts or annoying other members with PM, I will first senmd friendly warnings.

Judging your members to quickly is something that is always going to discourage them from actively participating in your from activities. There is always a possibility that people will make mistakes but you need to take it very easy when you are trying to handle situations.

There's a procedure on how a forum is managed. The forum rules and guidelines is what gives all the procedures to be used by a staff member when discharging his functions. The rules and guidelines of my forum are written with leniency. If a staff uses it to work, he will be linient by default.

Yeah, that's very correct. It is very wrong for you to carry out any activities of your community without following the rules and regulation that you have set aside to use of manage the community whenever any member is doing anything against the community standards. The rule should be brought in to use and tackle the person.
