Moderation

What Is A Moderator?

A Moderator is a volunteer who gives of his/her valuable time to
help keep Lost Zombies a fun place for everyone. They try hard to
be fair but cannot be everywhere. Because of this, please use the
above rules as a guideline as to what is and is not allowed, rather
than the behavior of other users. If you see something that is
against the Board Rules, please report it to one of the moderators
listed here:

Lazenby

bobby67

undeadrob

Lek

Bruin

Dawn

Keepah

Note that the moderators have the final say-so in any situation
that you report. They will evaluate the situation on a case-by-case
basis and take appropriate action where needed.

What Do Moderators Do?

Moderators monitor all areas of the Lost Zombies website and
respond to complaints to keep the site free of undesirable content
as described in the rules above. They enforce the Lost Zombies
rules, and can delete posts, feature posts as well as remove any
user's ability to visit the site. Please respect and adhere to
moderators warnings, both public and private. Likewise, if your
post was deleted or locked by a moderator, do not repost or unlock
the topic. They deserve respect and appreciation for their
time.

What Is A Ban?

Banning means you will not be able to log into your Lost Zombies
account and all of the posts you’ve made will be automatically
removed. Bans are private matters between the Moderators and person
banned and will not be discussed publicly or through third parties.
There is not fixed duration for the length of a ban. Some bans are
permanent others are temporary. It is not acceptable to return to
Lost Zombies under another username. If you do, your ban time may
be extended.

What If I Disagree With A Moderator?

Moderators are not perfect and are only human. Disagreements occur.
Try to communicate with them first on a respectful level and settle
your disagreement. They are not targets for your obscenities,
flames or general insults. If you do not agree with a decision, you
are not entitled to start a thread arguing about the verdict or
flaming any of the moderators. Any such messages will be removed.
This extends to Private Messages and unban requests as well, and
you are not entitled to insult moderators via either of these
methods.

If you feel a verdict or ban was unfair, you may contact "http://www.lostzombies.com/profile/Lost">Lost (the site
creator) , but be prepared to review the rules again and know that
Lost will not mediate opinion and will only get involved if Rules
have been violated.
