removed member rejoining

topic posted Sun, October 15, 2006 - 7:37 PM by  §t®ngV◊i©e
Does anyone know if you can report a member to TOU for rejoining your tribe over and over when you remove them?

Just curious, I'm not there yet and I know I could keep the tribe moderated but I don't want too so I was curious if anyone had any experience with this.

    I'm not sure if this is an issue that has been brought up before as being a TOU violation. Given the way the TOU are currently writen I don't see how simply rejoining would be a violation. Annoying as all hell yes, but a TOU violation?

    I think it would be the behaviour of the member once they have rejoined, but I should clarify that I'm not the final word on TOU around here.

    Strongvoice....I don't think there is anything in TOU to keep a removed member from rejoining a public tribe. In the past, I made it clear that the member had been removed and went on record in the tribe, saying that anything they post after a particular day and/or time would be removed as soon as I saw it.

    I have found that it is a lot easier to keep volatile moderated. Although my preference would be to make Extreme honesty public again, i have found that taking the time to keep membership moderated has cut way down on the number of continuing flareups among members who deserve removal but wont go away.

      You CAN have a member removed permanently from Tribe in general for this kind of behavior however there is nothing to stop them from creating a new profile and doing it again.

        I don't know if this one would do that. But he could just do that to get into the moderated tribe.

        oy, I suppose I was totally due. I've been far to lucky for far too long.

          In my experience, making a tribe moderated for just a week or so will generally solve the problem. They give up after that.

            You've clearly never moderated the Extreme Honesty tribe then. Folks there hang onto stuff like this for years.

              LOL Oh Rich, I love moderating but you'd have to pay me to moderate extreme honesty. YAY for you for taking it on.

                BTW Strongvoice, EH only generates between 3 and 6 member requests a week. It's really not that big of a deal in a tribe that size. I sort of like knowing who the new members are as they join, and sometimes they even send cool notes with their request for membership.

                  but if you are trying to keep people out don't you have to spend time looking through those 3-6 profiles to see if they are alts for the people you are trying to keep out? The tough part of moderating EH would be the other stuff.

                  I like ask a sexy woman anything being open. I get notifications when people join but I like the random late night guy who stumbles in there to ask about his romance woes. (o: Plus I know lots of people who don't bother to join if they have to put in a request, I know I often won't bother joining if I can't join right then and post my thoughts. If it was the same rate of joining as without being moderated it would be closer to 12-20 some weeks for AASWA I think. But then again I think it would drop.

      I could do that. I could tell everyone to ignore him and then just delete his stuff when I see it. Maybe he'll forget about us soon.

      I have some tribes that I think are better moderatated but I really don't want this one moderated. Man I would spend all of my time trying to sort through the requests to join.
