1. Arguing with team members after having received a warning will lead to an immediate additional warning. Should this exceed three strikes a temporary ban will be put in place as above.

2. Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users. Flaming or abusing users in any way will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning.

3. Members should remember this board is aimed at a general audience. Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning.

4. Members should post in a way which is consistent with "normal writing". That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large, small or colored text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts. Users consistently abusing this will be asked to desist.

5. Users using the THF tech team images without being invited to by a team member, will result in a warning.

12. The above forum rules where applicable also apply to private messaging. Abuse of the private messaging system may lead to warnings (as above) and/or the revocation of private messaging.

Sounds like the member is in the wrong here - simply either ban him or send him an admin warning telling him to stop.

Tell your Moderator to stop arguing aswell

Yep, that would definatley be a case for permabanning the member. They obviously lack maturity and it's those sorts of members that nobody wants.

You have to take the Admin decision - put aside personal friendships and carry out either a perm ban or warn him once more, then you'll have to ban him if he continues after that warning.

Just tell them, them arguing isn't to be done on the forum!

well.... thank you for your help here is what I am thinking of saying

Quote:

Hello Brendan and Riley,
I have come up with something that I hope will settle this. First I would like you to read all of the rules, here. Next, as I really don't want to be the big bad policeman (as I am both of your friends) I would like to ask you to think up what you think you could have done differently, and then what you think would be a good consequence for yourself. What do you think would be appropriate for both of you? I would also like to clarify something. This forum is a forum about helping other users not an arguing ground. There is supposed to be a professional feel here. Now, I also know that Riley is a moderator and brendan is not. For right now lets act as if you are both simply registered users. No one has more power than the other right now, okay?

My co-admin (Soundboy) has also been very active in this debate/thingy....

That most recent response isn't going to get you anywhere. You can't ask them what they think their consequence could be, because I'm sure that both of them think they didn't do anything wrong.

As Flashgear said, do what's in the best interest of your forums. Both the member and the moderator are wrong here for arguing and bickering. If it were me, Riley would no longer be a moderator - that's a definite. I think another strong verbal warning would be enough for Brendan.

He wants the hostility to end between them, not prolong it.

What have you done regarding this issue THFS?
