Predator Masters was created by the vision of our founder Will Craig. Will envisioned an organization where the members of the predator hunting community come together to help support and promote the sport of predator hunting.
Unfortunately, as in any community, not every participant has the same goals in mind. Members who attack other members, attack Predator Masters and just generally want to create hate and discontent will not be tolerated. When a member is found to be violating these principals it is incumbent upon the moderators and directors to take actions to protect our community and the Predator Masters vision.
We want to create a place where predator hunters can come together to exchange ideas. We don’t want to be heavy handed in our censorship so we must have clearly outlined repercussions for people who are not in alignment with Predator Masters.
Ban Policy
When a member is found to be a spammer, there will not need to be any discussion. The directors will take immediate action and permanently suspend the account in question.
A topic/thread/comment that violates the vision of Predator Masters that violation will be posted in the mod forum by the moderator or director who identifies the post/topic in question. The topic in question will be removed from the forum while the issue is considered.
The topic/thread/comment will be considered by the mods and directors and if the mods and directors determine that the topic or post is not in alignment with Predator Masters, the member gets a written warning from the BOD. The message will be private messaged to the member and to the BOD in general. The topic/thread/response will be permanently removed.
A second violation, within 90 days of the original violation, or a grievous violation as determined by the moderators or BOD, will get temporarily banned while the moderators vote on the length of suspension. While the length of suspension is being considered the topic/thread/comment may be removed from the forum. The vote will be open for 48 hours to allow as many mods to vote as possible. A temporary ban will be approved and the term of the suspension will be determined by the mods and directors. The result of the vote will be communicated to the member by the BOD in a private message, along with a notification on the thread in which the offense occurred that a pm has been sent, along with an email to the registration email address and will be included to the BOD. Once the suspension is served the member’s account will be reinstated and the member will be notified.
A third violation, or a second grievous violation as determined by the moderators and the directors, within 90 days of the previous violations will result in a vote to suspend or to revoke a membership to PM, a "ban." The result of that vote will determine the action to be take, including the possibility of another suspension or a permanent ban. The result of the vote will be communicated to the member by the BOD in a private message, along with a notification on the thread in which the offense occurred that a pm has been sent, along with an email to the registration email address and will be included to the BOD.
A permanent ban will result in the member’s account being permanently revoked.
