Yes, but you may not realize that there are tons and tons and tons of records that are hidden in private. A user might not show up if you search them in the bar. But they might have records in the hidden area of the forum.

 

You can't? Why? What is stopping staff from doing that?

 

-1 Mainly for the reasons that you don't actually need to see ban reasons. Many involve affairs that quite frankly the average user has no reason to see. As for the argument "you should know who you are dealing with" all scamming bans come from appeals. Search their name in the ban appeals/complaints forum and boom, you have scamming records.

You will be demoted if you ban someone without a reason. There are already checks on individual staff abusing power. A lot of them.

 

You should be able to do your own research on trolls, etc. Most regular trolls have multiple complaints/ban appeals. Also, most forum warnings come with a staff post saying they were warned.

As well as you didn't respond to my original point. Bans don't need to be seen by normal users. I am certain that there would be more issues with people seeing ban reasons than not. There would be much more controversy, was that a fair ban? Well I can say for sure that bans are already taken badly by the troll community we have. Seeing the exact reasons on bans is likely to enrage them even more, leading to more bans and less players.

 

I would like to do the things that staff don't have enough time to do or whatever they've been calling it. I want to do research instead of them to get facts straight and get more information to present to the staff.
