I spoke with a Global Moderator about it and we were advised to set our own local rules on our current thread.

Thread owners can set local rules, so if you do so, make sure the user is aware, ie stating so in the OP and sending them a PM, and if they continue to post, it is grounds for a ban.

best regards.

Yes, when you make a new thread. You can't just change or implement new rules when you feel like it.

Please ask SaltySpitoon as this was his advice to do so - add local rules to our current thread - not to the new one.

Thank you

Best regards.

I don't need to. I'm telling you you can't do it. He never said in that message you could do it to your current thread so maybe you misunderstood him but if he did elsewhere then he's mistaken.

You can't change the rules after the fact for the same reason why you can't self-mod a thread after you created it as it wouldn't be fair. As shorena said, just lock the thread and create a new one (and ideally self-mod it if you want to inact your own rules).

So I can't do what I did here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1423718.msg14425704#msg14425704?

New local rule: franky1 is banned from this thread from this post onwards.

Nope.

Why not? It isn't retroactive.

The wording of the rule does not allow it.

26. Local thread rules, if stated properly when the thread was started, specific enough and don't conflict with the forum rules, have to be followed.[e]

In the example there is also a quote by theymos that this was mostly replaced by self mod threads. I would think the same applies. If you want a local rule (or a self moderated thread) you have to do so when you create the thread.
