GameTZ Moderation System   GameTZ Moderation System GameTZ has a moderation system in place that allows users to file complaints on each other for violating the rules. This allows users of the site to help police the site and tip-off moderators to problems that exist. How it Works The chat, forum and bad trader systems have "moderate" links in convenient places. These links allow any user to file a complaint against another user for something they said in chat, something they posted in the forum or for a bad trader report they made. Each complaint is then examined by a GameTZ Moderator. The moderator will then "approve" complaints for valid rules violations and "dismiss" others. An approved complaint will cause the user's account to be restricted. Restricted accounts are not allowed to use chat, post in the forums or post Bad Trader Reports. Restrictions usually last for 24 hours, though moderators have the power to extend a restriction time as they feel is appropriate. Along with the full moderators, there are also mini-moderators who are just like regular users except that their chat complaints are approved automatically (and thus lead to an immediate 24 hour restriction). Mini-moderators exists to deal with troublemakers in chat quickly and decisively (so that they don't spoil things for others).
