If you believe that a member's post violates the TOS (usually this is for personal attacks) then follow these steps:
- Post a new thread in the Coord forum titled "[Membername] - personal attacks in forum?" with a link to the thread
- Check the member record to see if the member has any previous warnings or reminders and if so, make a note of this in the thread
- Wait for a moderator or admin to give the go-ahead to remove. Coords do not currently have access to delete individual posts, so you will have to ask a mod to remove the post in question.
- You will still be able to read the deleted post, but regular members cannot.
- You must always contact the member whose post you removed. If necessary, issue them a warning or reminder. You can use this sample wording:
Dear [membername]
I have had to remove your post in this thread:
[link to thread]
because [reason for removal, e.g. violates the TOS on personal attacks]
Please remember that the purpose of our forums is for members to communicate, discuss and share their opinions. Attacking those who do not share your own opinions is not acceptable.
[This warning has been noted on your member record.]
OR
[Further TOS violations will result in you receiving an official warning.]
Regards,
[yourname]
