User Management

Basics

Sanctions refer to administrators blocking or issuing warnings to specific users who violate regulations for the smooth operation of Sigmate.

  • Users are not repeatedly sanctioned for the same behavior.

  • Sanctions cannot be imposed if the time of detection has elapsed more than 12 months from the time of violation of the regulations.

  • If the manager determines that it is subject to indefinite blocking, it may be blocked regardless of the time of detection.

  • Weighted sanctions can be imposed by referring to the previous sanctionโ€™s details.

Blocking refers to the restriction of the administrator's editorial rights, discussion, and use of threads.

  • Where a user violates different regulations at the same time, the blocking period may be added together and blocked.

Operators can block users who are deemed not willing to perform normal activities due to serious regulatory violations, or who are extremely frequent to block due to regulatory violations, indefinitely.

Operators may issue a warning or a caution instead of blocking to users who have violated regulations slightly and users who are deemed to have violated regulations due to inexperience in regulations.

  • The warning is in effect for three months.

  • After receiving the warning, the user may lift the restriction on the editing right and opinion right due to the warning after checking the regulation.

  • Caution is a simple guidance implemented when it is judged that the need to proceed beyond the warning is significantly low, and it has a purpose of guidance and does not have the effect of sanctions.

The Operator may block the minimum period for leaving details of sanctions.

  • The administrator may suspend the blocking execution of the person to be blocked in the following cases.

  • Suspension of blocking until the end of the discussion due to participation in the discussion by the person subject to blocking

  • However, in the case of indefinite blocking or more than 7 days of blocking, violation of regulations corresponding to heavy sanctions is confirmed, and if there is a reason not to be judged to be inexperienced in the regulations, the reason for suspension shall not be applied and the blocking shall be implemented immediately.

Operators may finalize and readjust sanctions.

Matters not prescribed in this Regulation shall be prescribed by the Enforcement Rules for Wiki Operation: User Sanctions.

However, managers cannot sanction users based on the enforcement rules of Wiki Operation: User Sanctions. The operators may execute the blocking and simultaneously issue a warning for the purpose of recognizing the sanctions.
