Some policies from an unofficial plymouth momentum group.
The core discussion policy elements are highlighted in bold.
There is no transparent decision explanation commitment and no appeal process. Many of the definitions use ambiguous terminology that will necessarily lead to subjective, unaccountable censorship.The risk here is that simply offending someone will lead to temporary and permanent bans. This facebook group is exactly the kind of opaque forum that leads to divisions, frustrations, lack of unity, lack of accountability. The owners probably mean well, but their lack of accountability will mean that this group leads to infighting and very little focussed action.
Its a fine example of why i felt the need for a superior forum, here at momentumunofficial.freeforums.net
Our superior processes mean theres some transparency, and we aim at total transparency, and there is as much indepedence in the appeals process as is possible givien the size of the administrative team here at any given time.
These elements alone make momentum.freeforums.net superior in its implemntation before we even get to the additional functionalty we intend to add primarily relating to prioritisation and thread seperation to improve focus of dicussion.
