Modding Outside Your Forum (I just did it in Sporting Events)

[Dynasty]

I just banned Assani Fisher for starting about twenty new threads in the past 15 minutes in Sporting Events- essentially spamming the forum with his own thoughts/questions.

No problem with me. I'm currently working on cleaning up, but does anyone know Assani IRL, his posting is really not him tonight, no clue whats up.

[Dynasty]

Now that you've responded, I realize I should have checked to see if you were on the site. I didn't do that.

When I clicked onto Sporting Events, he had ~20 of the top 25 threads. So, I just quickly put an end to his posting rights.

Isn't the purpose of a forum to express one's own thoughts and questions? IMO this oversteps our "authority" to Mod outside of our own forum in the event of spam. And it looks like he at least put some thought into each of the posts (some more than others, but still . . .).

Can we please stop all this modding outside your own forum business for anything other than spamming?

Dynasty, wtf?... I didn't look at how bad they were, but this seems like a clear notify mod situation... you don't know how the mods in there have been dealing with stuff like this, and you shouldn't impose your own desire on another forum like that.

Dynasty and others,

I was "on-site" but was about to close out and checked the mod forum before leaving and saw this. FWIW, I consider this to be like spamming so I'm fine with Dynasty doing this. For those who didn't actually see it, Assani basically posted 30 different, mostly inane, topics all at the same time.

Seriously, I'm more curious at WTF Assani is on tonight.

"Rule one:

Moderators may never ban a poster for an infraction which did not occur in the forum they moderate. The only exception is when a spammy poster has gone crazy making multiple spam posts in multiple forums."

I guess you think Mat should amend his Rule 1 out of 2 rules?

I don't think Mat should ammend Rule 1. But, I do think you should improve your reading comprhension.
