'Backseat Moderating'

What does Backseat Moderating mean?
Let me tell you. When you post "this thread needs to be closed", "close please", "wrong forum", etc. This is in fact considered SPAM - S.tupid-P.ointless-A.nnoying-M.essages. Another thing on this same train of thought: It's one thing to say "wrong forum" or "close please" but another to say that after someone else has already said it. That's even worse. Don't post if you think the thread is idiotic, just inform a moderator. We're here to do a job, not you.




The following is what to do in certain situations in our humble forums.




Threads in the wrong forum:
If you really must tell another member that their thread is in the wrong forum then please answer their question or have a valid reply before informing them of their mistake.

If one or more members Reports the thread about it being in the wrong forum, we will take care of it. After you Report, go ahead and carry on with the thread On-Topic, act like there is nothing wrong. A moderator will be by soon enough to move the thread to the appropriate forum.

Posting useless comments such as "move please" "this thread needs moving" "why the hell did you post this here?!? does this look like the *Insert Forum Name Here* forum?" only tend to de-rail the topic and cause arguments before the thread is even in the right forum. Thus it will more than likely be closed.

Duplicate threads:
Kindly inform the member there is already a thread on the subject, and re-direct them if you please. Help them out by pointing out the search button.

There is no need to be rude to new members who haven't had the time or experience to learn the forum layout yet. We were all in their shoes when we first joined KMC. Acting like a jerk to new members will make them want to leave and/or act like a jerk right back at you.

If someone posts a comment in a "Duplicate" thread saying there is already a topic then there is no need for everyone else to say the same exact thing.

Once again, if there is a duplicate thread: Report it, or send a PM to the forum moderator or a Global Moderator. We will deal with it by either merging or closing the said duplicate.

Disclaimer
From this point on all 'backseat moderators' caught in the act of doing said actions will get a PM from me. There will be no warnings for this, unless I have to tell you multiple times to cut it out, but I will have some choice words for you.

Here on out I want to see more Reported posts/threads, and less of you guys acting like you own the place. Be kind, inviting, present yourself in a positive way to new forum members. We all want our stay at KMC to be fun and informative. Treat everyone with respect. It's not hard to do.

Not just for one week.

This forum is still going to be around after May 19th, did you know that???

There will still be new members posting a thread in the wrong spot or members posting threads that most would consider idiotic, duplicate, etc.

This rule applies to the Episode III forum for as long as there is an Episode III forum.

Thanks guys.

Also, if you all really want to help...since I can't be here 24/7 and I can't check every last post since I was last online, if you see someone 'Backseat Moderating' and I haven't replied to them please PM me or report the Backseat Moderating.

I edited this post, removed the member's initials. This is constituted as member bashing in it's own right.

This is another one of the items that has got to stop. Do not publicly denounce another forum member in any way, shape, or form.

There is no need to mention names, what's done is done, get over it. I think I am going to have to be more strict on all of you if you won't stick with the forum rules.

So to sum up basically, if you have a problem then pm a Ken or another mod, do not bring it up in a thread.

Am I right?

Right.

This way you do not instigate an argument or annoy other members.

To add to my original post:

It's one thing to say "wrong forum" or "close please" but another to say that after someone else has already said it. That's even worse.

If it is your own thread...yes, but also send me or another moderator a message so we can either close or move the thread for you.
