As a moderator, I would hope I know the rules and policies fairly well. There may be some details on specific boards that I need to review periodically but for the most part, I can enforce the rules and answer questions about policies. Of course, no one knows everything, so I have no problems asking for verification if I am not sure.
Well, I think I have a pretty good handle on the rules for good posting, but sometimes I cannot remember the specifics regarding how to do certain things. For example, when in RPG I am told to roll the dice, it can take me a long time to find the page where the dice are for me to roll.
I think I know all the rules and policies but because of some members we are usually adding more rules so I have to learn some more again.
Offtopic but,
You are not the only one, I had the same problem until I saw that the roll dice is actually in the little box where the group stats is, in every single of your posts in RPG! |
Our rules have been born out of the need to control certain types of users, namely: spammers, underage teeny boppers and the like. However, because of all these added rules I sometimes have to check my own self about a specific Board in the Read Me threads to ensure I am being an example. Yes, even the Mods bring up my socks too and that is great!
For just the short amount of time that I have been here I would like to say that I have become very familiar and have a good understanding of the basic set of rules and policies fairly well. I still catch myself checking to make sure that I am remembering them correctly. There are a lot of boards that I have yet to fully read the "read me first" threads but I feel that I am getting there, just slowly. I haven't really had any intervention for not following the rules so I believe I am staying somewhat on top of my game.
It has actually been a long time since I updated / modified the Rules or Policies here - thank goodness. I remember there used to be a time when I would have to edit them on a daily basis for the spammers and infiltrators we would get, but all seems to be quiet now because instead of waiting for them to read the rules, the scripts just stop them before they could try to break them, hence the reason so many hate the 'Watch Dog'.
