thanks for the info paul

When you were a "S" on CF.com, the infraction system was not implemented... i activated it on april while the mega upgrade... so it's sure you were unaware of its function.. lol

Some of the infractions are a joke. I received one for spamming, yet I'm a licensed customer and own a vBulletin board, it's hardly spamming. Others' are general behaviour which are just pointless for me, I'm hardly some robot who goes posting sh!t.

I bet half the 'active' members' have infractions here. No wonder members' are leaving.

All the moderators are good for are closing threads and dishing out infractions.

Just because one owns his own vBulletin board does not mean he is unable to spam, quite the contrary: it gives you something to spam about.

Also, the definition of a moderator is to moderate content and ensure that it remains within the policies of the community...so "closing threads and dishing out fractions" and other moderating tasks is a moderator's primary responsibility.

However, ff anyone feels that an infraction giving to them is unfair, unjust, or a "joke", please escalate your issue to an Administrator via PM and it will be carefully evaluated.

until it's an Admin who is giving you an infraction... in that case, you can escalate your house and claim on the roof that you've been infracted ...

No, there are multiple Administrators for a reason. If an infraction is given (by any staff) and thought not fair, it will be discussed openly by the Admins and usually settled by majority decision.

Moderators are not police officers.

It seems to me, if you disagree with the "high horses" then the thread is closed.

Unbelievable how this place is moderated. Ever wondered why a lot of people have left?

Every owner runs their board differently, sometimes you just need people to do these tasks. I wouldn't have said vBulletin.org is a "community" based site anyway, its here for a purpose which is to discuss the modification of vBulletin (in my opinion) I guess the community element arises from members that visit the forum regularily.

as little yellow bird said, vB.org is not a community-based forum, you do not have to interact to be member here...

i personally think more... if this site have to keep its sole purpose of providing support for admins and coders, there is no need for some community-like forums... there is no need to talk about cars and politics here, there is already tons of sites that are doing it quite well...

We are a community of coders and members interacting together.
