16. Moderation
and Enforcement of Guidelines
(a) Moderation messages will be public. This is not done to embarrass or upset the poster but, rather, to serve as a learning experience for all users. Similarly, messages will not be deleted unless they are obscene, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in gross violation of our guidelines. The poster will be warned in the same thread, with the relevant portion of the message quoted as necessary. The poster, of course, always retains the option of editing their initial message.
(b) Moderations will follow a three step process:
·
Informal
Warning. This may or may not contain those words but is a message
from the Moderator indicating that you have crossed the line. Please pay
attention to such messages and follow the Moderator's instructions.
·
Formal
Warning. If a user has received an informal warning and, in the next
30 days violates this or another guideline, s/he will receive a formal warning.
Formal warnings may also be issued immediately for gross violations of the
rules, directly insulting another user, or arguing a moderation call in the
thread.
· Suspension. A user who has been issued a formal warning and again violates Community Guidelines will receive a 30 day suspension. Suspensions are automatic, but may be appealed via email. We reserve the right to issue a suspension for blatant attempts to disrupt the forum, use of multiple Ids in any Message Center forum, or if in the opinion of the Moderator, such an action is required to ensure the safety, comfort and/or enjoyment of the forum by other users. Continued violation of piedmontradiology.COM Community Guidelines after suspension may result in permanent expulsion.
