A revised approach to discipline.
In order to maintain a climate of goodwill on the forum, we are having to rewrite, then reassert the rules.
The "1 day - 1 week - 1 month", schedule of bans was not working as it prevented us from handing out two or three small bans in succession. Sometimes, even if it is a third ban, one month seemed a little Draconian as not all offences are created equal.
Instead, the mods will entirely use their discretion for small bans, and only escalating to the committee should a more extensive ban be justified.
There is also occasional, but still too frequent petty bickering on this site. This cannot happen without two of more sides, so from now on, we do not care who started it; should you want to get involved in a petty argument, all sides will spend time in the cooler. The Club Scuderia management team will be the arbitrator in all such disputes.
There is also a new rule concerning bullying and harassment, i.e. do not do it. If it is clear that one or more users are clearly picking on another, then, again, expect to take a short holiday from here.
Whilst we recognise that it is within the parameters of normal human behaviour to instigate and endure conflict, please be aware that we wish to make this a better place, and if you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem.
So read the rules, and understand them. If you are unclear as to the meaning of any of the rules, then please feel free to PM a member of the moderating team for clarification.
As a suggestion, if you have been irritated (either on or off the forum), and you are posting in an antagonistic frame of mind, just ask yourself if anyone benefits from what your post contains. Are you scowling when you type? Are you intoxicated when you type? Are you angry when you type? Are you being selfish in what you type?
If you can please consider these points BEFORE you hit the "Submit Reply", then you are contributing to making Club Scuderia a better place.
And if you are unable to think before you post, then prepare to enjoy the clanking sounds of the jailers key.
Thanks for you co-operation.
