Irregular topic post deduction scheme

I think this approach can be implemented for a while; let’s see the reactions from our friends in Sichuan. If it doesn’t work well, we can then take action to make corrections.

I think this plan is feasible, but first we need to make the discussed plan public and place it in a relatively prominent location so that everyone can see it. In the future, if our moderators deduct points and this leads to disputes among members, it is recommended to send them the link to this plan in order to ease the workload for our moderators. Deducting points is not the goal; our ultimate aim is to, through such deductions along with appropriate guidance, help our members understand the importance of posting in a proper manner and the benefits that this brings to everyone, so as to elevate our forum to a higher standard!

Unregulated posting really does need to be regulated and brought under control! My personal suggestion is to first send a message to the person who posted the post in an irregular manner to remind them and ask them to make corrections within a set time limit, which could be one week. If they still fail to make the necessary corrections, then penalties should be imposed. It’s okay to make mistakes as well as to correct them – I’m not sure if this approach is appropriate.

Improper posting due to inadequate management!!!!:victory:

\"Sending messages to posters who don’t follow the rules to give them reminders\" – this has also been our practical approach for a long time, but it hasn’t yielded very good results； \"Give them a deadline to make corrections; this deadline could be set at within a week.\" The problem is that moderators have too much work to handle – it’s difficult for them to remember to address posts that were reminded about a week or even a day earlier. Usually, moderators only pay attention to those posts that rise to the top, and sometimes they simply don’t have enough time for that. \"If no corrections are made, then penalties should be imposed; mistakes are allowed, but so is the opportunity to correct them.\" I agree with this point. However, the approach should be to impose a penalty first; once the mistake is corrected, the moderator can remove the penalty or even give points as a reward, depending on the circumstances. If the moderator fails to remove the penalty promptly after the correction, the person who posted the message can send a text message to the moderator to ask them to do so.

Recently, there have still been irregular request posts. But I said it in a rather angry tone; in the end I just couldn’t bring myself to do it and helped fix the question instead. Merciless moderator! :loveliness:

It is recommended to create a post in which the standard formatting for posting, as well as the approaches and methods for dealing with posts that do not follow these standards, are all detailed. Pin and highlight in the foreign language section. When our moderators encounter posts that do not comply with the rules, they can temporarily deduct just one point, state the reason in the comment regarding the deduction, and provide the moderator with guidance along with a link to examples of proper posting. This helps to reduce the workload on our moderators and protects them from getting involved in disputes when dealing with such situations! And in the moderator’s comment, it can be stated that if the original poster organizes the post, they can send a text message to the moderator who deducted points, asking them to revoke those points and assign an appropriate score! Some time ago, the miniascape moderator texted me to ask everyone to work together on dealing with spam posts, and I did so for a while – I removed many such posts from the Professional English section and the general section, deducting 1 point from some users’ scores. Most members didn’t contact me via text, but one member kept bothering me; it took a lot of persuasion to get things back to normal. That’s why I want to advocate for protecting our moderators! http://bbs.hcbbs.com/viewthread.php?tid=381557&page=2#pid2090878 This post was last edited by huamei461112 on 2009-2-24 21:20 ]

I plan to list the relevant details in more detail in the \"Thread marked for moderator handling\" post, and change its title to \"Thread marked for moderator handling (including rules for the foreign language section)\". There, I will list all kinds of rule violations along with the corresponding penalty points, with the focus on dealing with posts that do not comply with the rules; these rules will be put into effect after being made public. Incidentally, the \"Post – Track – Close\" function in Echo is already quite comprehensive, serving as our foundation

Let me share my opinion: This forum has placed great emphasis on standardizing posts for a long time, yet in reality, irregular posts are everywhere on the forum. Appropriate punishment for those who violate the rules is essential. Solar has done a great job, and my suggestion is to implement this approach in the chemical English communication area and the general English communication area for a while to see how effective it is Then execute it across the entire region or the entire forum.

A few thoughts: 1. The idea of classifying irregular posts as suggested by Solar and listing them as topic posts for public display is good, but it would be better to send a message to the relevant parties first to communicate, so as to avoid causing them any displeasure. 2. The “Chemical Engineering English Discussion Area” mainly contains discussion posts, making it easier to standardize; the “General English Discussion Area” is mostly filled with reposted content, with only a small proportion of actual discussions. I’m not sure how to standardize it 3. Are there too many and too frequent topic posts recommended by moderators this month? For posts with superficial discussions or few participants, it’s sufficient to just highlight them.

The first point is not to make public others’ irregular posts, as that would be too reckless. It’s merely about listing various irregular behaviors and specifying the penalty points; of course, these can be removed once the issues are corrected. As for the second point, I plan to follow what Qingming from Floor 10 suggested, starting with implementation in two districts first； The general section is the same as well – as long as the posts do not violate the rules, that’s fine. I’ll finish writing it first and then everyone can take a look, making any necessary additions or improvements. There are indeed too many rules in point three; there are very few replies, let alone any extensive technical discussions

In my personal opinion, posts that do not meet the standards are mainly created by newcomers, and this can be understood. It is recommended to first send a message to the authors of such posts to remind them to make the necessary corrections, with a deadline that could be set at one week; if they still fail to make the corrections, then penalties should be imposed. I think this would be better.

I fairly agree with the original poster’s view. We should adhere to the principle of developing this section, giving warnings first to those who do not follow the rules and setting a deadline for them to make corrections; those who fail to do so in time should then be subject to appropriate penalties
