A new system called "Democracy" has been added to the message board.
*************************************************************
The two main features of "Democracy" are:
1. "Reputation points" (given by users to other users)
- Users can give points to the other users of the message board. The user who wants to change someone's reputation must refer to a post and post a short comment (review) on it so everyone can see his/her reasons (to prevent the misuse of reputation system).
- Users can refer to the same post only once.
- Moderators can delete a review (and a reputation change) if they find it untrue.
2. "Warnings" (given by moderators to users)
- Moderators may give warnings to users that violate the forum rules. A reason of the warning must be included.
- The warning have to refer to a post.
- The warning has an expire date set either by the Moderator.
- Once a user gets certain amount of warnings (3) he/she's banned from the forum.
- Users can notify Moderators about post which they think violate forum rules.
*************************************************************
Starting December 1st 2005, every month, the Moderator / Autograph Expert who receives the most points from the other members of the message board will receive a $10 allposters.com gift certificate.
