As this Forum grows, it is clear that some kind of framework for moderation going forward is required, in order to keep this an interesting, informative, and friendly place for all SDSU fans.
Should a moderator become aware of postings which either a) violate the User Agreement and/or b) violate the fairly simple "be nice" rule, this disciplinary framework is available to the moderator:
1) In-Thread Suggestion. All Forum users should pay very close attention when a moderator suggests a modification of behavior, attitude, or tone of conversation in a thread.
2) Public warning. Should the moderator's general suggestion to modify behavior be insufficient, a public in-thread warning may, at the moderator's discretion, be issued.
3) Final public warning. Should the undesirable behavior continue, a moderator may, at his/her sole discretion, issue a final public in-thread warning to modify the behavior.
4) Restriction of posting/viewing rights. This may be a suspension of posting rights or banning of a user from this forum. The restriction may be temporary (a "time-out"
or it may be permanent. Disciplinary action is at the moderator's sole discretion, and there is no appeal of a disciplinary decision.
Please note that this is a framework, not a hard-and-fast procedure. Certain behaviors will result in immediate suspension or banning, at the moderator's sole discretion. Suggestions and warnings are a COURTESY extended by the moderators to the user--the moderators are not required to issue suggestions and warnings. Moderators are free to use their discretion as they see fit to keep this Forum an open, informative, friendly, and welcoming place for all users.
