As the administrator and owner of your forum you are responsible for what content is being placed on your forum.

SO YES. you can have your forum shutdown and deleted for other members posting links or content that break forumotions Terms Of Service.

But that's why you have moderators and you also moderate your forum as well.If you have members posting something illegal or links leading to something illegal?Then you edit the post and write in there that it's not allowed and give them a warning. if they continue to break your rules or violate forumotions T.O.S. then you ban them.If it's something like pornography?Then ban them immediately

So be sure to have good moderators that know what here doing and you continue to keep an eye on whats being posted and you'll be OK.If it's something you are unsure of. move to the basket or special board out of view of all member until you determine if it's OK or not.

hope that helps.

Was there any particular links or material that you are unsure of?
Oh and remember not just links,offencive images,video etc.. is the only thing that break T.O.S. You also have to watch discussions. Meaning you do not want to allow any discussions on things that are illegal or ways to do illegal things.That in most cases can be worse then the content it's self.

okay i got it...but u didn't got ma post dat clearly...i was jus askin that suppose if my forum have 15000 members...n u can imagine the speed of posts that they are posting in one second...so if i have 10 moderators or max 20 moderatorz in the forum...itz a common sense that they wont be online fo 24 hours so that they can keep a check on each n every post...

so in that case if someone posts a link in the absence of modz or me...then is there any warning system from the forumation board that i'll be given the link to that post to delete it...

as i read somewhere in this forum that you are given the warning n a time of 14 dayz...so is that warning system related to this ?

Well of course you have a life and do not live there. but with big forums such as that come a lot of responsibilities.

all you can do is do your best to make sure everthing is being moderated and all your rules and the forums tos is being followed.

Also encourage members to use the report tab in any post that might be in violation.

Now if someone reports your forum to forumotion or other it depends what the report is about. i seen in some cases ware forumotion will send you a warning and give you time to remove what ever is in violation. to ware if onlinegurdian is in the mix then they just shut you down no warnings at all.

You can also consider bring more staff on.Unfortuantly forumotion dose not give you the option to set up post approvals on there forums. so all you can do is mod and keep an eye on your forum the best you can.

and dont believe anyone who tells you that you will receive a warning first with time to remove content. that's not true. some people will get that warnings others are just shut down. it depends whats on your forum i guess.

meaning if you were reported for someone sharing a song or movie and theres not much of that going on in your forum like that? then yes they will probably send you the warning and time to remove it.

but then you have have many members posting porn talking about illegal things or if you have forums set up on your forum to post share and discuss things such as porn or something illegal.. then they will just pull the plug no warnings at all.
so in a nut shell. they will do what they want when they want and theres not much you can do about it.

Once again just keep up on your forums and moderate everthing the best you can.
if this is being done and your given members warnings or bans if necessary then you should be OK Smile
