Strict System - Under this system of moderation, all rules will be enforced more heavily with a clear, concrete moderation process when it comes to warnings and bans (This process would be shared with the community once it is developed). While we will not become Waypoint and just ban without letting you know ahead of time that you are breaking the rules - there would be far less verbal warnings being given out before we actually take moderation action. Essentially: You know the rules, you follow the rules, or you lose privilege to post on the forums.Lax System - Similar to what we have now, this system would take a more relaxed route to enforcing the rules, with moderation decisions less concrete. While there would be a suggestion moderation process, any punishments would ultimately come down to the Moderator that is online and handling the problem, along with the severity of the rule break, and whether or not there are alternatives to bans availableHybrid System - This would use both the strict and lax systems, and apply them to different rules for the website. For example, Personal Attacks/Graphic Content/Harassment would fall under the Strict System - you know that it is not allowed, and the moderation process for handling them is concrete and clear. Issues like spam and shitposting, however, would fall under the Lax System - it comes down to the moderator's discretion as to how it is dealt with*
The rules are fine, I'd prefer them to be stricter, but at this point you've tied your hands by letting the forum grow without being strict, so changing that now would cause a drop in activity.

I would like to commend the mods for banning Berzerk so swifly earlier today, however. I honestly expected you to just let him off the hook with a slap on the wrist like you do with everybody else.

He was just asking you to give the name of the Alt instead of saying "Go into the flood".

I could put my two cents in, I suppose.There was a situation last week with users posting their IPs. Kitsune and I argued that it was close enough to revealing personal information and that it probably shouldn't have been allowed. We were overruled, but not really convinced. It seemed... inconsistent at best.I wouldn't mind slightly stricter moderation, as long as it's not too strict.
