  Basic Principles for Forum Moderation

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  a perennial issue for any online forum is moderation and applying rules.

  we have a set of community guidelines and posting guidelines that are intended to make clear what is and isn't acceptable but this tends to focus on the obvious standards of behavior for, well, obvious reasons.

  it's easy to talk about people being aggressive or insulting etc... as those are common and clearly unwanted behaviors and the typical issue for online communities - the most likely things to come up.. does this mean that everything *not* on the list is allowed?

  What was your ''the last straw that broke the camels back'' moment

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  there is a limit to how much straw (long yellow grass) a camel can carry on its back.

  if you keep putting more straw on top, it will finally break the camel's back.

  when you are at the last straw you are finally angry and will not take any more.. my moment (to stop attending all watchtower meetings) was after the harsh treatment from the elders and fellow congregation members of my second cousin who was disfellowhipped as a teenager.

  In my cong I remember one time my husband was about to go on the platform to give a student talk when the P.O. taped him on the shoulder and called him out the back.....he was told he could not give his talk because his haircut was too Worldly ! (He had had it cut thst day and the style then had a step in it...like Gibs in NCIS) Another time the same elder told me off because I collected the family literature order from the desk. ..aparently thst job belonged to the Spiritual head of the house. ...
