I have been observing remotely Several WU threads recently about the Sites FAQ's and rules (Interpretation) which I have fallen foul of a few times
and when I looked at the list I feel it looks a bit dated and could do with livening up
For instance there is Nothing about the modern Hate issues like Ageism and Disability or Sexual orientation
And advocating illegal software copying that's still a NO-NO (despite DVD burning not being high profile these days)
And there is the Religious Talk .A lot of webmasters say... (Not in the FAQ) You want to talk about Religion or Adult issues (ditto Life coaching/Politics/ psychiatry) either post in the right dedicated section
or find another Place.No Help
I was on a busy forum whose Main discussion thread section was wrecked by the Religious chatter (on a ratio of 70/30) and the web master made a separate URL for it ...Collapsed 3 months later through lack of use! :rolleyes:
While I am No fan of a tight Run forum I Like Forums that act fast on rulebreakers and Fault reporting (with a fast turnaround)
Worst sites are those who let issues ride for a Month after the event! or go offline without any notice!
Another aspect is Making everybody an ambassador for the site and if there's a Problem they report to Admin fast ...like me reporting the "Kitchen spammer" who is on site about 3 AM I report it and its gone by 7 am ..If it was the Daytime then the response time is at most 10 minutes (with most dealt with on the fly :p)
PS There is Little about the Use of the sites PM service being used as spam delivery ..Rare event but it can happen
