Moderating Guidelines

Moderating on PoD is done at different levels, which will be laid out below, but the guidelines for all moderating will remain the same across the board. This is a guide to have all chatters and members of PoD aware of procedure and to know who to contact should issues arise. We strongly encourage Room Leaders to handle all business in their rooms when they are online. We also strongly recommend the use of the MOD CALL button in the top frame of every room for situations that arise needing the assistance of a moderator.

  • All warnings to Anonymous type chatters entering a room will be done in PM. Three will be given.

  • One minute will be given between warnings before the second and third are given.

  • First booting for Anons will be no longer than 10 min. NO BOOT WILL BE LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES!
    • (If someone is requiring a longer boot and is NOT on the PoD SITE BoS list, then it must be handled by a member of the Management, Snr. Management, or one of the Site Owners).
  • A person on the BoS list of individual rooms**, will only require one warning, in PM, before a 30 minute boot.


    • **Note - This list MUST BE POSTED visibly on your room entry.
