Terms of Service Document
Purpose:
The purpose of this written document is to establish a fair a principled system of discussion amongst members of this community and to outline the roles and responsibilities of those who partake in it.
The Structure of the Players’ Corner:
The staff of the Players’ Corner consists of those who moderate individual forums (referred to as a Moderator), those who moderate forums on a global level (referred to as a Super Moderator), and those whose responsibility it is to maintain the integrity of this document as it applies to the Players’ Corner (referred to as an Administrator).
The role of the Moderator is to guide discussions within his or her respective forum. Since not all forums contain the same theme or subject matter, the Moderator is necessary in order to focus on the needs of a particular forum and direct it towards its best interest as established by its theme and subject. This requires that the Moderator have the ability to institute certain forum specific guidelines on how discussion is to take place. The Moderator may at his or her discretion enforce the rules of this document within his or her folder; however, that task ultimately lies with the Super Moderator and the Administrator.
The Super Moderator is an extension of the Moderator. On top of working together with all Moderators of the Players’ Corner, the Super Moderator is in charge of ensuring that the rules set forth by this document are being enforced throughout the Players’ Corner, and that all discussions taking place reflect the theme and intent of the forum and the topic of the thread.
The Administrator has the sole duty of authoring and interpreting this document as well as ensuring the stability of the forums. To do this, the Administrator is given the ability to deny access to the Players’ Corner to individuals who attempt to jeopardize the integrity of the forums, to have full control over the content made available on the forums, to make changes, both technical and regulative to the forums, and to derive from this document any necessary rules and guidelines.
The aforementioned body, known hereafter as the “Staff” of the Players’ Corner, shall continually work together to further and improve the Players’ Corner.
