Also, an extensive ban report must be filed in the designated area of the staff center. I let them ban because they need to be able to put a stop to someone's behavior when I'm not around. Also, you wouldn't send a police officer out on patrol without a pair of handcuffs and citations would ya? If moderators don't have any powers like that, they wouldn't be taken as seriously. | ||||

Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 10,246 Location: Athens, GA | Yep, I think that all moderators should have the power to ban...If you can't trust them to make this decision, then why are they moderators? If they get a little too "ban happy", then you need to sit down and talk to them. I'd hate for my forums to ever be in the position where a member is running rampant in the forums but only a moderator is there and he/she cannot ban the member So of course, all moderators here have the power to ban (watch out!!  )

| I trust my staff 100% and they do have the authority to ban if deemed necessary and I'm not around. For the most part, they just ban for 1 day and then they create topic of discussion in the staff forum regarding the member. We'll decide if that member needs a more permanent ban.
