It is about managing violations on your community in an effective and useful way, so that you can make informed and confident decisions when it comes to banning and the like.

    I read it. Not bad. I think you should have included some of the contact templates as well.

    A couple of links to some hacks that help in this area might have been a good idea too like the <a href="http://www.vbulletin.org/fo…">Warning System</a> hack.

    Hey Keith,

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I don’t think I’ll include links to hacks, etc. Just talk about the concept which in its simplest form (the form I described) can be setup in any forum (worth using) by default.

    On the contact templates, that could be an addition to the article for a later day or maybe its own article. But, if at all, probably an addition. Maybe one day. :)

    Thanks.

    Your welcome Patrick. I figured you didn’t include the hacks info because you wanted to keep the article simple :)

    Yeah, that is a plus. Never know though…
