Oxwood and emongo gave me 20 warns in febuary of last year. The good days.

 

I should have elaborated more. I was wondering if you wanted staff to be held accountable for upholding the current rule system or a new rule system for forum bans/warnings, and if you wanted equal punishment for all parties found at fault, both the rule breaker and staff responsible for deciding punishment.

I do agree with you about the need to better control pointless/troll comments in the Complaints and Appeal section.

Hopefully that makes better sense this time around.

 

To add on to that. Make it so warnings expire after 6 months, not 1 month. You can accumulate a few warnings a month without consequence with the current system.

 

Im sorry I cant really find the words to explain it better.

But I really do like your idea's and point of view on this. A+ in my books

 

This makes a lot of sense, actually. However, there's still some margin for improvement, isn't there? I'm one of those that thinks that rules - only when they are well written, of course! - are never enforced enough ;)

 

I think we need to do a lot more to stop the irrelevant posts on complaints, appeals. I just looked at a thread in which Jamie deleted about 25+ comments.

@Server Admin is there any chance some new rules/guidelines/punishments could be implemented?

 

I do agree with this suggestion in the sense that there are too many people posting on appeals and complaints when they shouldn't, even more so when they aren't contributing anything to the overall case. It's gotten a lot worse recently...

But what gets me is that my last demotion was for issuing "too many" forum warnings. Since then I've seen the number of staff's "no irrelevant posts, please" or the reply to a user's post in-thread warning (not forum warning) users not to post any more. It's quite frequently the same users, over and over, so adding a longer period of time before warnings expire would be a better deterrent than what we have currently.

Perhaps, finally, things might start to change, since it seems the staff team are finally getting to the point where they can't be nice about it any more... no one has been listening, at least not until the kid gloves come off.
