General discussion of moderation procedures - Part 7

Guido clearly violated forum guidelines...repeatedly. For a 14 year old who is immature, this is more likely than that of an adult.I agree that we should not tolerate or condone Guidos behavior.I work with many kids like Guido, however, and am not in favor of a permenant suspension.Can we give him a few months and see if he matures any more? (Maybe even a year or so....) But I would like to have the opportunity to mentor Guido, should he come back. He DOES have some issues, and I would insist that he formally appologize beforehand.

Knowing Parasomniums style as I do, I would venture a guess that the remark was satirical. Para has an acerbic yet likeable wit about him.I just finished talking with oblivionlord in chat and attempted to explain to him the idiosyncrisies of human interaction in a chat forum.We can be a bit like one of those churches you mentioned in your other post: a bit exclusivist. But in general, we try our best to provide a balnce between disciplined guidelines and rules soas to prevent forum anarchy, and a level of friendliness which can only get better!
