Conflict Resolution Guideline

Here on our site, we follow a specific formula for handling fights. We don't like things to be kept secret, nor do we want things to be hidden or obscure from view. As such, members need to handle things in a proper, professional and timely manner, which is why we have created a guide for all participants to follow.

As a general rule, staff follows a simple system. Each member involves lists out there points. Members also have a chance to refute those points, in there rebuttal section. Staff make decisions based on the evidence and points made, those who have the most points refuted/dismissed will lose the case. So, don't think that just because one point was refuted a person entire case is dismissed, its all about the amount that was refuted, not just one single thing.



This should be the initial post in every Conflict Resolution page, it should also be the first post. Members don't have to "request" an open case. They simply state in the topic they are placing this topic in conflict resolution and create a topic in the Conflict Resolution Board.

Members Involved: (List all members involved in the conflict, not specifically involved in the topic.)
Link to the topic: (Provide a link to the topic)
Relevant Posts:(Please provide the relevant posts in question [Like last 3-4 posts or such])
Relevant Issue:(Please detail what the issue is pertaining to the conflict that needs to be solved)
Problem(s):(Please state any problems/mistakes that you feel have occurred)
Suggested Solution:(Please detail what your possible solution to this conflict is)
Staff Handling: (List the Moderator and Admin handling the conflict resolution)

[b]Suggested Solution:[/b](Please detail what your possible solution to this conflict is)
[b]Staff Handling:[/b] (List the Moderator and Admin handling the conflict resolution)

The second step should be followed by all the members relevant to the conflict, including the one who brought it to the board.

Let me be 100% clear here, when listing your points, these are the points we are sticking too. If those points are refuted, obviously you will lose the case. Once you have posted your points, that is it. In order to conserve time and make decisions quickly, once your points are posted, that is it. You will no other chance to add/make additional points. We don't allow one to add additional points, make additional points, only refute each others points. Once this is posted, staff will ONLY go by the points listed.

Spoiler:

Staff will post once everyone relevant/included in the topic has made there opening post. Not before, this is to show our members that it is THERE responsibility to present us with the information, not for us to go hunting around for it. The longer it takes members to post, the longer it takes decisions to get solved, so please post in a timely manner.
