For Points of reality:
I will only Mod personnal attacks that are ladden with foul language or anything that is complained about to me by other members.


For Off Case:
I will only Mod personnal attacks that are ladden with foul language or anything that is complained about to me by other members.


That simple for both. So unless every other word is a curse I won't do much of anything.

If a typographical error begins really annoying me, I reserve the right to edit it away. Like, for example, if I was an On Case mod, I would've changed the thread title from "Competiting Interpretations" to "Competing Interpretations."

I won't moderate foul language / personal attacks. I also support renaming PoR to Nerd Deathmatch.

I will sticky spam threads to show everyone what we're fighting against.


I reserve the right to clarify in Cross-Ex.

i reserve the right to moderate: any corax/tisias post or post from an unidentified user (which are subject to lower scrutiny than corax/tisias but higher than that of an identified user); posts containing hate speech, defamation, true threats, slander, libel, or posts that contain information that threatens debaters, debate programs, or the community at large. for instance, you cannot post:
-descriptions of people drinking or using drugs at tournaments
-other people's home address, phone number, etc.
-allegations of cheating or unethical behavior at tournaments

you also cannot identify posters who choose to remain anyonymous, regardless of whether they are using tisias/corax or a registered account.

i will delete or edit the posts of anyone who requests but will not delete whole threads.

i will delete spam.

i generally moderate much more actively than most people because i think that net-benefits plays a vital role in communicating an image of the parliamentary debate community (particularly the on-case forum) and that people take way too many liberties with what they say on these forums.

I've said this in the past but I will say it here and now: I reserve the right to "lock" threads that have clearly run their course. I encourage people who disagree to follow the site policy to override a decision: http://www.net-benefits.net/mod.html.
