Forum Management
Penalty Mechanism
Nodeloc Forum uses a warning system for penalties, with each warning carrying penalty strikes/NL deduction. Warnings are usually for posting violating content. For specific measures, refer to [链接登录后可见].
Administrators
The management team is responsible for maintaining the stable operation of Nodeloc Forum, actively intervening in malicious or sudden incidents to prevent misjudgments, missed judgments, or unfair behavior.
The daily responsibilities of administrators include:
- Issuing reward NL
- Receiving and handling user reports
- Correcting incorrect tags in discussions
- Issuing badges
- Appropriately handling content with violations
- Banning users who violate the rules
If you disagree with the management’s decision, you can privately message the relevant administrator to negotiate a resolution.
User Groups
Nodeloc Forum has the following user groups:
Level-associated Member Groups
Nodeloc Forum calculates level based on both activity and contributions. Important points to note:
- Rank requirements are divided into “Cumulative” and “Active” parts:
- Cumulative refers to the total data accumulated since the user joined Nodeloc Forum.
- Active refers to meeting the required activity data in the last 30 days; otherwise, the user will be downgraded.
- Levels are updated during off-peak hours at night, so level updates may have delays. However, data is recorded in real-time, so it’s normal to meet the requirements but not see an immediate level upgrade.
- The number of discussions and posts does not include data from the黑洞 | BlackHole,杂谈 | Lounge,推广 | Promotion, or人工智能 | AI tag. If a discussion is moved by an admin to these tags, neither the discussion nor the posts under it will be counted.
- The activity requirement for the number of replies in 30 days refers to the number of replies within 30 calendar days in UTC+8 (Timezone Asia/Shanghai, e.g., from 1-1 00:00:00 to 1-30 23:59:59).
- The number of warnings refers to the number of warnings received within 30 days. Exceeding the specified number will result in not meeting the rank requirements.
