A Policy for "departing members"
Posted: Sun Jan 31, 2010 1:47 pm
One of the knotty issues that occasionally faces forum administrators is what to do when a community member decides to depart the community -- especially if the departure is a showy affair. After considerable contemplation, the administrative staff at SkirtCafe have settled on this:
Members who, for any reason, desire to part company with the SkirtCafe community are advised that usually the best option is to simply stop contributing and move on. This is by far the most common method; folks who "make a big scene" seldom do anyone any favors. The above having been said, if a departing member wishes to have his account deleted the administrators will comply, with the following provisos:
SkirtCafe's administrators and moderation staff sincerely hope the above will not be necessary except in extreme instances; we strive to maintain a stable and polite forum that is welcoming to those who are interested in the expansion of men's fashion choices.
- The ex-member's account will be deleted in a timely fashion.
- Existing textual posts will be retained, but the ex-member's identity will be anonymized to the extent possible within the constraints of SkirtCafe's operating software. This preserves the continuity of threads for everyone else in the community.
- Uploaded images will be deleted in accordance with the policies listed on the sub-forums which allow attachments; linked imagery is beyond SkirtCafe's control.
