Is there somewhere on this forum that;

Notes a correct procedure and protocol for disciplining forum members?

Does it set out clearly first offence penalty, second offence etc? Does it list what constitutes an offence?

Is there a requirement to have the offence action approved by another moderator before it is given?

In addition, if a forum member reports a post, there should be the requirement to stipulate the reason for reporting the post.

The person reported should be notified why they had been reported, and what happens next and the ultimate consequences.

As an incentive to further discourage unwanted behaviour, each member should be able see how many offences they have, what the next action could be etc etc.

Wildly threatening a life ban without following correct procedure is overly draconian.

Pino, are you the current FIA incumbent perchance?

Just my tuppence h'penny to a subject that needs to be addressed fully.

Have a nice day everyone.
