It honestly depends who the user is. If they have a past history of saying that then saying "I changed my mind" then obviously I am not going to entertain them lol. I just wait for them to change their mind again, don't reply, and laugh when they do make the post. I actually had this happen recently where someone said this. I call these kind of threads "click bait".. LMFAO For someone who is a pain in the ass and there really isn't nothing we can do unless they violate the rules, I might just feel happy for the moderation side of my forum as they have to deal with 'em. However, if someone who has been here for some time and has been actively involved, I would definitely leave a kind message to show my appreciation of their dedication to the forum.

I stick with simply Administrator, Global Moderator, Forum Moderator (moderates a singular forum).

Sometimes I regret using NodeBB because of the price and sometimes it is laggy because of my SQL Database choice and I can't change it now. If I knew about XenForo, we'd be using it ATM. I still like how it looks

NodeBB can be pricey. My forum is a NodeBB Forum.

Hello, Good Moderator Guidelines & Procedures are informational, easy to understand, helpful, and they should explain what your moderators should do and not be doing. Another part about Moderator Guidelines are setting up a system for Mod Warnings or Mod Strikes, for my forum I tend to give them a reminder first then after 4 Mod Strikes they're off the team. Moderator Procedures: Moderator Procedures can consist of rules, guides, etc. I like to have my forum rules pulled up while creating my moderator procedures. You want to be sure to add a procedure for each rule and if they have questions obviously, let them ask you. If you have it set up where your members get banned after a small amount of warnings because they're problematic, I created the infractions tool. Infractions: Your Moderator Procedures can also consist of a infractions list. It is better to color-code your stuff for easier navigation. Infractions is the degree in which the rule breachers action is. Staff Guidelines: these can be whatever is appropriate for your forum. Just add a bit of common sense and you'll be fine. My Example: Staff Guidelines 1. Don't Block Users 2. You can't be moderator on any other forum 3. Have fun! (The rest can be whatever you think is appropriate) --- Small infractions Each user must get 5 warning points for Small Infractions, after that (ban, suspended their account, etc) for (The Duration) - Trolling - Being Rude (All The Non Serious Rules Go here) Medium Infractions - Light Harassment - Arguing (All The Kind Of serious stuff go here) Major Infractions No Warning Points, Just a ban - Mass Harassment (Constantly Harassing Usrs after numerous consequences) - Underage - Hacking (All the stuff you want to be a immediate ban goes here) Thank you & Welcome to Administra, Bdev
