New feature - Temporary suspension from IRC
Dear all,In spite of repeated announcements and warnings we find many members copying resources and reviews from other websites.
In order to prevent the increasing spam and violation of policies, we are introducing some features in IRC. From now on, webmasters are allowed to suspend members for repeated violation of policies or spamming.
The suspension will be for a fixed number of days, depending on the nature of the violation. The purpose of this program are:
1. Prevent spam and keep IRC as a clean site.
2. Give an opportunity for the member to understand his mistakes and correct.
The suspension will be done after warning the member 1 or more times, depending on the nature of the violation. If the member do not respond to the warning or if the member continue the violation after warnings, editors can contact webmaster and request suspension of the member for few number of days.
Each suspension will be added to the profile of the member as a 'Note' and will stay there for the life of the member in IRC.
In case of deliberate spam like inviting members for non ethical relations, mass business marketing etc, members may be suspended without warning.
If a member is suspended for few days, he/she cannot login to IRC until the days of suspension are over.
