Why banning anyway?

Would all members prefer it if moderators did not discuss and ask for options but just banned people they had continuous problems with? Is it wrong to discuss options with other moderators and then decide the best course?

I think we would prefer mods to ask each other for opinions on certain posts, and no pre-empt the punishment due by talking about a ban.

IE 'What do you think about this? <linkl>'

reply "That's worth a warning' kind of stuff, and take the consensus.
 
if things here are really that bad as far as the community perceptions of mods and moderation, why not appoint an ombudsman? a conduit b/w community and moderators

hmm
"identified as lacking real content" (stryder)?

lemme transgress....

perhaps i should go on a quest to seek out reason and rationale with the focus on mod prattling in sci. then pronounce as unfit?

hmmmm
what resources would be required?

sam - 1/2 a brain cell
james - a single brain cell
bells - 2 brain cells
tiassa - 5 of said cells

my bots can deal with the rest

/snicker

understand this, maggots
i am fabulously enlightened
ya'll aint

Do you assume the moderator in question just started a thread that said "I'm going to ban Baron soon cos he pisses me off"?:bugeye:

We already do that.

But when there is repetitive and consistently poor behaviour, a mod is within their rights to say, looke here I have this this and this problem with this member.

Here is an example of xyz behaviour <insert link> which was due to this <insert link> and has been repeated here <insert link> and here <insert link> and here <insert link> and here <insert link>.

Previously I have had these issues <insert link><insert link><insert link><insert link><insert link><insert link><insert link><insert link>

The person was previously banned for <insert link> behaviour and this one <insert link> and this one <insert link>.

This looks like a recidivist repeat offender. I suggest a permanent ban, what do you guys think about it?

Don't know, but I have had reports I have made blabbed to the forum. Reports I might add that I did not even send to that particular MOD. It seems as though if one gets a report they share everything with eachother. Then if one has it in for you, they use that information to their own advantage.

Ah Gussy, I am trying to say that its not a single instance that warrants such discussions, its multiple episodes of [flame-warn-ban][sup]n[/sup] that lead to them
 
Well you'll be happy to know that a majority of time, thats all we do. Discuss it. Its the only way we'd know that there were problems

the quote is missing the the last part. the all important qualifier

i wonder why
oh!
must this trifling matter of you being somewhat retarded and shit

And the people who could be the peace-makers (e.g. moderators) often actually provoke more anger. You've seen it, everyone's seen it, and it's not limited to me. Actually, if it were limited to me that would be really weird and still wrong.

I think that stems from instances where they try to restrict some form of behaviour and get a fuck off in return.

As a moderator of physics and *beeeep* oh... my bad... you know that is kinda exhausting. :(



Nah, I'm just kidding, I am not an undercover mod, lmao :D

thats the thing these noobs dont have
perspective
how things were and how they are now
and how sci is a work in progress

most criticisms emanating from the community nowadays is fabulously retarded and irrelevant

i know that when i see the mods dispatching arguments with such ease
