Infraction System
OK, one more feature.
The infraction system.
If you find a user that insults others or you catch a spammer posting nude pictures of Britney Spears or links to Viagra sites, you can issue an infraction.
10 points per infraction
100 points for spammer infraction
100 points will ban a user
Once a single "spammer" infraction is issued the user is automatically banned.
I think that this will be a nice democratic way of dealing with forum abuse.
The infraction system is available to all the registered users. You'll notice the yellow/red cards. SOrt of like in Soccer. Please use the infraction system justly.

Marty, you are placing a big responsibility on us, as members in giving us access to such a powerful tool...
I'm confident that the members of OrchidBoard will choose carefully in the use of this tool  |

No worries, our members can deal with it. No mercy for spammers though. We will see how it goes, if it gets abused I'll shut it down.
I believe in empowering the people  |

That's because in this thread so far are only Silver Orchids. You can't issue an infraction against a moderator or administrator. Try a thread with regular members....

Im starting to think I like this system. Itchy trigger fingers not allowed.

A typed word it is open to the interpretation of the reader , I have seen a lot of misunderstandings from posts that were not intended to offend .
If blatant spam or a cussing match is one thing , but it could be used to cause trouble .
Why just us and not the moderators ? Reminds me of school days . Gin

Thanks for voicing my concerns, Gin. I was a bit uneasy when Marty tested the system on me (and others I presume). I've thought since then that other than 3 or so spam offenses that were quickly delt with, there haven't been any "offenses" among board members. Do we really need this system? Just a thought (now I'm worried I might say something offensive.)
