with out flamage - I'll try to draft a set. These are my interpretation so far and up for discussion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area Reps and Mod responsibilities to be split
Area Reps
*Should not have mod access to the main boards, but for their area only..
*These mods should have access to the "Mods and Area Reps" board where they can request or post up info as required.
This sits in line with Area Reps as Event organisers.
Mods
Mods should be divided into a logical structure.
I personally suggest the head admin sits at the top but also suggested is the club captain.
Then you have committee members who have global mod rights,
Under that is techincal mods who are given moderation rights across areas of the technical sections.
and Area reps who stated above have mod rights to their respective area Boards.
Guidelines for Post moderation A moderator should request in the first instance via a PM to a user that they change their own post. (this is case dependant and sometimes requires immediate intervention) either resolution is reached or Mod will moderate/delete post. Mod shouldnt have to PM a user at this stage saying a post was mod/deleted.
Guidelines for Issuing of Warnings Mod should issue points to a user.. In the email the offending action should be quoted (as links to posts often get moved) and why they got the points in a common sense manner, not quoting those silly pre-made emails that come from the system. (this is my opnion) At this point i dont feel the mod shouldn't have to put their name on the bottom of the email sent out. *note* also points can be issued silently without a user knowing - This has merits on occasion, and is has been used to stop a user posting in the short term, and has been reversed within 24h.
My feeling is that mods are able to issue warnings.. the technical mods are there just to keep the tech section in line and things be reffered. again (my interpretation thus far)

Im sure i have missed points but these can be added.
