Dear All,
We would like to bring to your attention the following changes effective immediately to the “Global News” forums.
1- We will have a new thread every month called “Moderation” thread, in this thread members are encouraged to post links to offensive, insulting, trolling and double identity etc... Each link is then viewed by ISP moderators and appropriate action is taken. THIS IS NOT DISCUSSION THREAD, ANY DISCUSSION WILL BE REMOVED. ONLY REPORT LINKS OF WHERE YOU FEEL ISP RULES ARE BROKEN. This thread is viewed by all. If you would like your identity to remain hidden, you can use the Q&A forum to post your links. This should give everyone a chance to report and a clear database to maintain if a certain user is breaking ISP rules. PLEASE we ask of you especially in regards to multi usernames, only report once and when we looked into it drop it from further discussions or every thread will turn into so and so user has multi username. There is no solid way to prove if the user does or doesn’t have multi username, once the ID is reported we will do all the checks possible (not only IP check, but Login times, how they access the forums, IP vs. known proxies, Post times and some more) if none match we cannot take any action and at that point we ask all members to please stop accusing the individual and get on with the posts. Please use the thread wisely and give us 24 hours to attend the matter.
2 - If someone is trolling, or trying to change the direction of the thread, please let us know (by posting in the thread, so #1 above). Anyone found to be spamming a thread or trolling, will receive a warning. But you must tell us, otherwise we might miss it.
3- To stop spamming / users posting with multi usernames, new users must make a minimum of 200 posts BEFORE they can post in the Global News forum. This should solve many of the spamming problems.
4- If you feel a member is provoking you, we encourage you use the IGNORE LIST function, if you feel he is breaking ISP rules please refer to point #1.
5- We request from you to respect one another regardless of how you feel towards other members ideas; please try to self moderate by not insulting and keeping the discussions clean.
6- ALL members who have received a ban previously are now unbanned. Everyone gets a fresh start from this point. Let this be a new beginning for Global News forum and hopefully no one will need to get banned. If your ID is still banned please do drop us a line and we will take care of it. As mentioned no user (Regardless of what happened in the past) should be banned at this point.
7- We will review our decision in 1 - 2 weeks time. If members continue to insult each other and continue to have fights, we will close down the "Global New Forum". We are primarily a sport site and we dont want to lose members because arguments about politics. So please use the forum appropriately, and dont turn it in to a place to have arguments, and fights.
We truly appreciate your cooperation in helping us keeping the forums clean of insults, racism and spamming, where every user has equal right to post their views and opinion.
