Backseat Moderation Notice
 
Hello lovely members of WCO!

Recently, the staff team has noticed an increase in messages sent between members correcting each other on perceived rule violations. This can be anything from notifying another user that they are powerplaying to telling someone not to swear, and everything in between. Contacting any other member regarding rule violations is backseat moderation.

WCO highly discourages backseat moderation. Instead of reaching out to another member, if you see a post that you think violates our guidelines, please report it so that the staff team can handle it. Backseat moderation will not be allowed, and any instances of this will result in a message from the staff team.

While we do appreciate that you all are trying to help, it is much easier for the staff team for you to simply report a post. The way that you do this is by clicking the triangle in the top right corner of a post! It should look like this: http://warriorcatsonline.com/forums/...ons/report.gif

As of today, December 2, 2022, the staff team will be much less lenient when it comes to backseat moderation. Please, follow the instructions above to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Thank you all, and have a fantastic day! :heartbounce:

What about if there are no staff in the cbox and someone breaks guidelines?

Why do I feel like this was created because of me-

in the case of guideline violations in the chatbox, we encourage you to take screenshots and pm them to a staff member! though this doesn't usually happen; we're usually lurking around hehe

this wasn't created in response to one person in particular, but rather just a general influx of these types of situations!

What if the person says anything hurtful? Is it the same rules? Or are we allowed to inform them??? Best of luck!!! @vellichor

in cases like these, we encourage you to ignore the user and report them to us -- if you'd like, you can even use our "ignore" feature to avoid unwanted interactions in the future! while we do understand that it's difficult to simply ignore someone who is being rude to you, the best thing is to let the staff team handle it!

Thank you Velli! You’re the best! :)

@vellichor Just wondering, is it considered backseat moderation if I answer a question for somebody in the site assistance? I just like doing it- and oop. Might get in trouble for that
