Private Silkroad Chit-Chat I

What else do you suggest, they are free for new ideas.
Some suggestions have been denied by the administration, meh.
It is not possible to change the people from now to then.

I've got an idea, but I doubt it'll ever be implemented. Get a new user group, which has the ability to edit and ONLY edit peoples posts (ofcourse, they have normal member rights also) and they edit threads which have bad grammar into something which is literate.

Another idea is getting rid of the warning system. Afaik, the maximum amount of infractions you can recieve before a ban is 3. (And it's not even a permanent ban) I suggest getting stricter on the warning system (or even completely removing it) and having 3 infractions -> permanent ban. If you warn someone 3 times and they only get 1/3, they will feel like they've got a "long way to troll" before eventually becoming banned - and it's something which continues to be regularly annoying.

To conclude, the last idea I would suggest is either creating a sticky in the Private SRO Advertising section titled "Foreign PSRO Advertising" or creating a sub-section. This is a problem which is repeated through the advertising section throughout ever since the files have been released. You'll read the title "--- Online / Best Server/ 24-7 Uptime / etc" and you'll open the thread, and the language will be either turkish, or german. and It's something that has been dwelled upon, as I've had my eye caught by the title, only to be disappointed by all the information inside not being readable.


P.S add more moderators

first one has already been suggested
admins consider it to be too much work for us to have to approve all of them, and no blame, it is lot of work
second one, is most likely not to happen

1 warning only, then infractions. Warnings are there to remind a user on our rules. If he is new they have to give him the time to read all these rules. Some are hard to find.
If an user reaches the infraction limit of 3 he will receive a temporary ban. If he reaches it again, then permanent. Since infractions last 1 month and the temporary ban usually 1 week, the person has 3 weeks long an infraction amount of 3! infractions. Which means that 1 infraction would be enough to get perma banned.

Already suggested this in my previous time as mod, but they won't add extra sections for languages or similar.

I think this wont happen, just because there not even much members who have good grammar here and will agree that job to edits threads and fixing grammar..

Why did you delete my post? It was the truth - it wasn't even offensive. He did nothing, his english isn't that good and he's inactive, while Creationist did way more good and wasn't selected, not to mention English is his native language, so he would certainly avoid mistakes caused by the language barrier.
