Reports and Complaints Against Rules Violators

Site Rules:
http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39306

There are a few "unwritten rules" as well. Antagonising a moderator or admin is one of them.

Site rules apply to the regular forums and to chat and private messages. The owners of the private forums may moderate them as they see fit, but hopefully they will choose to generally observe the site rules.

Reports and complaints against other members for violations of site rules should be handled according to where the offending material is posted:

1. Forum Posts: To report violations of site rules in a member's post, click on the red triangle beneath the user's profile info (see attached screen-capture below).

2. Chat: To report violations of site rules in Chat, send a PM to the moderators (Susan; mbdorfer; MohrSnakes; Roy Munson) outlining the complaint. Include a chat log or a screen-capture of the offending chat posts. The mod team can't act appropriately without evidence that site rules were broken.

3. PM: To report violations of site rules in PMs, forward the PM in which the site rules were violated to the moderators. Outline the complaint clearly in the first lines of the PM.

Note: Before submitting a report or complaint concerning the violation of site rules, it would be prudent to make sure that the offending member wasn't responding to your own violation of site rules. If you call someone a fool, and he replies that you're a moron, submitting a report for a name-calling violation wouldn't be wise.

Bumped because we're getting lots of frivolous reports lately.

That's a good thing, IMO. Forums that are ruled with an iron fist don't seem to do as well. And the openness of this forum allows us to form close friendships, or at least deeper understandings of those we will never agree with!!

Very true Nanci! I have come to terms with this, and I really do enjoy the freedom of this site. I do not belong to any other forums, but why would I want to when this one is so great.

I want to help keep this site great, too. I volunteer to ship up some fire ants, honey and rope as persuaders.

I'll keep you in mind as an "on-demand" supplier!

What...the large colony set up at the end of my front porch walk-way isn't good enough for you?! And if you ask some on this forum, I should have a good supply of rope already in my garage, some probably knotted and well broken in!
