Title: Africas Gateway - Code of Conduct
Post by: Dpleezy on October 11, 2008, 12:46:25 PM
What's up people. Here's a first draft of the proposed AG Code of Conduct. Let's get some feedback...

::::::::::::::::::

Africas Gateway - Code of Conduct

Respect:
AG is a hip hop forum that has been around for a while. It has developed a certain style of communication that is a bit more rugged than most forums. Members are expected to be able handle a certain amount of trash talking. However, certain standards of respect should still be maintained. Racism and threats of violence will not be tolerated.

Self Promotion:
Everyone is on AG to hear about Hip Hop related topics so some self-promotion is allowed. Spamming or flooding forums with self-promotional items is not allowed. If you're promoting an album, for example, start one topic in the correct forum.

Username Restrictions:
- Each person may only have ONE username/ account.
- Usernames may NOT contain any personal information (real names, locations, etc.).
- Usernames may NOT be similar to a moderator's username.

No Personally Identifiable Information:
Do not give out personally identifiable information about yourself in the message board such as entire real names, last names, address, parent's names, phone number, email address, age, place of employment, or school. Do not give out other people's personal information either.

Member Signatures:
a limit has been set on the size of people's signatures. Please endeavour to keep your signature as short as possible, and please refrain from posting huge images within your signature. This is to a**ist members with slower connections - please be considerate.

SPAM:
Please don't SPAM through the AG Forum. 'SPAMming' includes sending identical and irrelevant submissions to many different Forum areas. Usually such postings have nothing to do with the particular topic of the group or are of no real interest to those on AG.

AG reserves the right to ban a user at any time, without notice, from any or all Forum areas for spamming.

Etiquette:
Please don't post messages in ALL CAPS, all italics or all bold - it makes you look like a retard.

New Members:
- First 20 posts must be approved by a moderator before they are made visible
- New members can only start new threads after 20 posts

::::::::::::::::::

'Progressive Discipline'

Forum Members who are in violation of the Code of Conduct Rules will be subject to the following Progressive Discipline steps:

Step 1.
Warning from Moderator via private message. In order to give more control and responsibility to forum Members, any Member in violation will first be asked to edit his/her own post(s), if necessary.

Step 2.
Warning from Moderator, to be visibly posted on the thread in question.

Step 3.
Vote by quorum of site 'Core Group' (Moderators and other site leaders) for short-term banning of one week.

Step 4.
Un-banning after period of one week; return of full privileges to member; probationary period of one month.

Step 5.
If the member complies with all Code of Conduct Rules for duration of the probationary period, any future Progressive Discipline will begin at Step 1.

Step 6.
If the member violates any Code of Conduct Rules within the probationary period, as determined by a vote by a quorum of site leadership, they will be banned for one month from the forum.

Step 7.
Persistent offenders will be permanently banned. This should be a very rare occurrence.

::::::::::::::::::

Responsibilities for Moderators

1. To maintain relatively 'civil' discourse among forum members (within reason by AG standards). Talking shit is part of AG, but sometimes it does get out of hand (flaming / death threats etc).

2. To guide heated discussions back to acceptable parameters, as defined by the Code of Conduct Rules.

3. To administer progressive discipline to forum members who break the Code of Conduct Rules.

4. To run their own posts past other Moderators when there is a chance the language might confuse or offend.

5. To respect their roles by adhering closely to the Code of Conduct Rules.

6. To refrain from abusing control of the site to unilaterally ban, edit, delete, censor, etc.

7. Note: Moderators will be subject to the same Progressive Discipline steps as any Member, and will also be monitored by other Moderators.

I like the rules proposed so far.

Can we please add one about pronographic avatars? There are a lot of members that log on from public internet access areas that shouldn't have to load up pron when reading the forums. + I am convinced there are some users under the age of 13 here.

Also some defintion around what happens in the event one user opens multiple accounts posting from the same IP address. Like Pyro's suggestion that all the other accounts will be deleted & only the first registered account will remain.

Is milk actually going to empower the mods with the ability to perform all these functions?

Yeah, it is kinda disgusting.

I didn't ask for it though, she took me completely by surprise and I didn't wanna offend her. I didn't wanna kiss her after that either.

This brings me to another point.
If we're gonna have a section for pics and adult entertainment, it should be off limits to any one who hasn't registered and made a certain amount of posts. and the pron avatars thing is also an issue. I agree with Tate, cos it is kinda embarra**ing when you open a site and those things pop up.

and this is a rule  ??? ...what if i want people 2 know i'm in Obz
cape town, for networking reasons. i always like 2 know who's
in my vicinity just incase i need sumthn.

Oh and can we have a rule about quoting comments directly
above you. That really annoys me, especially if its a long post
and sum cat quotes the whole thing all ova again just to add
"LOL" under it. It's even worse if i log on with a mobile phone

the regulations seem fair otherwise

Derailment can be easily policed if the moderators had the rights to delete/ purge/ modify posts.

Pyro & Ekks thats some BS about buying Zimbabwe for a couple of hundred Rand. A lot of Zimbabwean businesses transact in US$...
...you realise the Rand fell to 7yr lows vs the US Dollar this past week...

I didn't say a couple of hundred. I said if all AG members joined in. That means we'd have a couple thousand.

Yes I'm pretty emotional about my beloved country these days. Beware my South African brothers, you too are sitting on a time bomb.

Anyway yeah I like the rules thusfar here. I think the post count for an exclusive XXX zone should be the same as whatever it is on the other Exclusive threads.

As you may have noticed, Milk has fixed the mod tools so we will be enforcing the code of conduct as of today.
Title: Re: Africas Gateway - Code of Conduct
Post by: K'niep Tang on November 08, 2008, 07:18:59 PM
generally the rules are ok.

"Step 3.
Vote by quorum of site 'Core Group' (Moderators and other site leaders) for short-term banning of one week."

who are these 'other site leaders' and how does that get decided?

also, any rules based on number of posts is rubbish (like that proposed rule that u gotta have 600+ posts to see certain sections). some of us got better things to do than sit on AG all day trying to up our post counts. infact, the ppl who probly have that kind of time are kids with nothin better to do than try to get them selves in to Deac's pron section.

but hey, the beat goes on I guess...

the props / smacks thing is anonymous - you can't tell who gave either to you.

it's a simple system you see in a lot of forums these days - if you like what someone said in a specific post, give them props. if you don't like what they said, give them a smack.

i think we must have strict regulation on people fraudulently using false identity.

ie.
Other users logging on/registering as "Big Buff, Pyro,Blakles" under false pretense.
