Warning system

In light of recent events, we, as Staff, have come up with a new linear warn system.

In the past, certain events have made a mockery of the disciplinary system and as a result people have been able to get away with things. Furthermore, we're fairly lenient when it comes to suspensions/bans anyway.

However all that is now changing.

Everyone is being given a clean slate, meaning past transgressions (and warnings...) are being disregarded. Warn ratings will not be lowered as this means we would have to do it for each member. Plus, having warn records maintained ensures we are able to act with efficiency by taking the user into context, such as past behaviour (whether good or otherwise).

We are therefore introducing a new 'three strikes and out' ruling, that is applicable to all members, regardless of time on the forum, status, post count and even moderator status.

  • Level one warning - a verbal warning for minor incidents, such as thread derailing.
  • Level two warning - a serious suspension, up to the discretion of the individual moderator. Should be up to one week. Used for things such as offensive language, etc.
  • Level three warning - permanent ban. Used for extremely serious matters, for example ticket touts, xenophobia etc. Basically a step up from level two.

The first person subjected to this is Swedish House Mafia, who has been accelerated to a level two warning for his homophobic remarks. He has been suspended for a week and his contributions will be monitored after his return.

I hope this clarifies the situation. We are enforcing this rule because an accumulation of past events has forced our hand. The amount of warnings Terminator X has had, for instance, has made a mockery of the old system. I can't remember how many 'final warnings' we've given him! :lol: This new system is simple and we feel that we are giving you guys all the opportunities we can. Its sad its had to come to this, but the spam posts are becoming incessant now.

Remember we can accelerate you straight to a level two or three, so be mindful of what you're saying. I'm all for free speech, but there's free speech and then there's acting like a douche. Let's try and keep this place from following the route of other forums and together we can keep TalkChelsea's community as tightly-knit as it has ever been. There is no wonder so many great members have come and left - let's stop the current crop from following suit.

Thanks,

Alex (on behalf of Jim, Steve, Kez, oxfordblues, Artingo, Fulham Broadway, David EU, KieranVogel, EskWeston, Sh0n3x and Madmax).
