| '''''Moderators''''' are members with certain administrative functions in the [[AGS Forums]]. A moderator may lock, move or remove a forum thread according to forum policies. A moderator may also intervene in conflicts that seem unappropriate, fruitless or impossible to end in a constructive fashion.
| |
|
| |
| Most boards have their own local moderators, and in addition there is a small amount of global moderators whose jurisdiction stretches over all boards.
| |
|
| |
| Moderators regularly confer in the exclusive Forum Moderation Board, where everything from major forum issues to isolated moderating actions are discussed and assessed.
| |
|
| |
| There are a few unwritten thumbrules that serve as a code for the AGS-community:
| |
|
| |
| * Threads are not removed unless they abuse fundamental forum policies or break laws. In most cases of inappropriate posting, threads will merely be locked.
| |
| * Posts are not edited to alter their authors' standpoints or attitude. Posts are merely edited to sort out technical issues (like fixing links or correcting [[BBCode]]). In rare cases, posts can be edited to censor abusive language or similar.
| |
| * Members are generally not banned due to bad behaviour. The AGS-community is based on a pedagogical philosophy of transparency and constructive criticism. All members are encouraged to correct their behaviour and return to the community rather than stay away.
