To do a search for a member, you need to select Members from the drop-down menu. I searched for a member and his name came up in the results. To search for key words in all topics, you need to select "All Content" from the drop-down menu, then type the words in the text box. Click on the word "search" and the default setting will appear. Click on that and select what you are looking for from the drop-down menu. Then, type the Name or words you are searching for.

Hello Folks, The SASS Wire has the ability to track warning points. So far, they have rarely been used. They will be assigned when a forum user posts in a manner that is forbidden by the Guidelines. Only the user, the Administrator, and Moderators can see any Warning Points assessed against a user’s account. This includes registered Guests as well as Members. Warning points are assessed in the following manner. Also listed are the potential ramifications of accruing points: Our focus will be on stopping rudeness, not on assigning points when someone inadvertently does something that is prohibited by the Guidelines. A common example of a inadvertent mistake is a Guest selling in the Classified Forum. 1 point per infraction unless it's egregious, like; threats, offensive rants or extreme behavior. That would warrant 3 points and then an automatic "Time Out" 3 points = 3 month Time Out 4 points = 4 month Time Out 5 points = Banned Indefinitely 6 points = Permanent Ban, this is only likely after a member has had an indefinite ban reversed. NOTES: The term “Time Out” equates to “Loss of Privileges”. A warning point will be automatically removed after 365 days. An indefinite ban may only be reversed by writing SASS Headquarters. They will contact the Moderators to reach a consensus on the Banned Wire user’s potential reinstatement. Any Moderator may assign warning points. They will frequently ask the others for opinions on the transgression. The Guidelines are viewed when a member Registers and a copy can be read using the following link. https://www.sassnet.com/forums/index.php?/topic/264105-sass-forum-guidelines/ A ban or Time Out may be given without any Warning Points or less than the listed number for some infractions. Examples are physically threatening another member or multiple PM Warnings before the WP system was implemented. This thread will be unpinned after approximately a month and a locked copy will be retained on the FAQ page. Please ask questions here and any modifications approved by the Moderators will be included in the locked copy. Regards, The Moderating Team PS Changes to the OP are in red.

Hi Folks, I'm posting and pinning this to get us through the transition to the new software. Anyone can ask or answer a question. If someone answers and you have an easier way, please share that. You can form a Q and then answer it, like I did below. Please go to the New Wire thread if you want to rant. http://www.sassnet.com/forums/index.php?/topic/260472-new-wire/& Let's keep this as concise as we can so the Q&A will be easy to read and follow. Thanks! Allie Mo PS Here is my first Q&A (I'll do both) Q by Moderator: Where are the links to the Moderator Control Panel and Administrator CP? A by Allie: In the drop-down menu at the top right of the screen next to your name.
