You know the people that need to read this won't, right?

Yes, but then I can just link them to it rather than waste my time typing it out over and over again.

Septagon / PSA - How moderation, warnings, reports and bans work
« on: October 23, 2014, 03:33:15 PM »
So it would appear that I and the other mods/monitors are frequently having to explain how the system works, so I figured I might as well do a PSA/Ask Questions ITT sticky so as to reduce the number of queries fielded each day.

Please read the sections first before asking questions.

Moderating in general.
Quote
Important points to note;
-Mods and Monitors cannot be everywhere at all times, this is why the report function is important.
-Not everything that gets reported breaks the rules and not everything that breaks the rules gets reported.
-Not every little insult requires a warning, not every shitpost needs a lock. Nobody wants to see this place become a nanny state, but at the same time there has to be some order maintained.

As with any site on the internet, Moderators vary in opinions and approaches and are certainly not infallible. We all make mistakes and by all means call them out, but do so with the intent to improve things not because you want to score points over a moderator.

Reporting
Quote
As previously stated, reporting is crucial. If you don't report it, you can't complain about moderators ignoring it. But bear in mind the following points that some of you seem to not understand.
-Reporting something doesn't mean that they will be instantly banned or warned.
-Mass reporting like a certain member did will get you banned (You can check the rules for that one)
-It's not a personal weapon to use against people who disagree with you, try to only report things that actually break the rules. If it just rustles your jimmies a bit, chances are it's not going to go away.
-If it's reported, it will be looked at. If it's then found to be breaking the rules further action may be taken. This can vary from a verbal warning to an official one.

The Warning/Ban system.
Quote
As some of you have found out, you get a little watched note under your avatar if you receive a warning. I think you can also check your warning percentage on your profile.
Now, how the system works is thus.
Person A posts 'frack you shithead, you are a complete retard' in a disagreement over the percentage of tax that businesses should pay. Person A then receives a warning for doing so. The warning is set at 5% and if I'm the one who sees it then expect the gorilla to be edited in too.

These warnings can vary in percentage depending on the severity of the infraction. A 5% is the most common and is just an official note to tell you to cut the crap. These percentages decay by 10% per day, so if someone receives a warning of 10% it will be gone in 24 hours give or take. If someone repeatedly breaks the rules and with greater severity the warnings will stack up and reach the threshold for a lite-ban.

So say Person A continues to call person B a 'shitsmeared mongoloid who sucks obummer's pimpcane'.
They then receive a 15% warning for ignoring the previous one, they are at 20% so if they break the rules yet again the chances are they will get another warning and this will equal a one day ban (give or take depending on the system that checks the timing).

So when a user is banned, but not blacklisted they have likely broken the rules on multiple occasions and have had their warnings stack up.

The simplest way to look at this is thus, If you don't take the hint from your first warning or your second then you are likely to get a stacked up lite-ban.

Bans and Litebans
Quote
A liteban is where their warnings have stacked up and gotten them put on the naughty step for a day or so, they can view the forums and that's about it. It expires quickly but can be increased for things such as evading a ban on an alt without good reason (Such as messaging a moderator).

A blacklist ban is the red text one, that's for killing alts and permanently removing someone from the site. It can be used as a regular ban, but litebans are the poison of choice for bad behaviour. If you start meatspinning, expect to get one of these.

Now, hopefully that clears things up but I'll be around for a while to answer any questions about the moderation on the site, if I cannot answer it because it pertains to a specific user's ban reason then I'm afraid it will have to go unanswered. I can discuss personal bans/warnings and the like but over PM.

So, shoot the questions and pepper your anguses for banny the clown.

What did he do this time?

I'll quote it from the serious board.

'Most people threaten to commit suicide just for attention. Telling someone that you don't care or egging them on to kill themselves probably does more to change their mind than giving them the attention they want.'

It's fairly evident why that got him a one day forced vacation.

How is that banworthy?

Let's just say that wasn't the only reason he was hit with the hammer. No further details.
Damn, super secret mod bsns.

Well it's not really good form to blather about why someone has been banned, unless the reason is viewable on the mains <.<

On it's own it isn't, but it stacked up with his previous infractions when he was given another warning for it.
Hence the one day ban.

Perhaps a PSA about reports/warnings/light bans might be useful >.>

Automation does certainly make a surplus easier to achieve <.<

Look at video game farming, people set up bots to harvest resources which then massively increases it's abundance and lowers it's value if there is any trading going on <.<

It's enticing, sure, but no group - especially not one made of politicians - is even mildly efficient enough to pull something like that off.

Reporting does nothing. We all know this.

No point to report.

Anyways, I'm done here. Later.

Reporting things that don't break the rules does nothing.

In the past few days I can remember 3-4 reports that I have acted upon over rule breaking content. So that point is simply invalid.

Challenger, PSU. Cool it with the insults.

If this turns into a flame war, expect a nice old fashioned slap.

Oh now you want to ban people?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I didn't say anything about banning, but if that's what you'd like then carry on flaming.

Or better yet, clean your shit up and discuss this like you were raised with manners.

Why?

Why should I have to discuss with manners when literally no one else does?

You literally just had one of your best members leave because one of your worst members attacked him. and you did nothing. Like I said before, Good job mods.

Camnator made a joke, if it was taken personally or got underneath his skin then he should have simply said so and then that would have been that. He didn't, he left it for a few hours before making another thread to declare he's leaving.

I had a similar discussion with Decimator the other day, should the moderators simply shoot people on sight for anything that might bend the rules? Even if it's meant in jest? We aren't the NSA, we aren't omniscient either. If something is offensive to you, report it. Then if it's breaking the rules it's going to be acted upon, similarly if it doesn't break the rules it's not going to be used as the basis for banning someone.

Do people really not understand this? If it pisses you off or upsets you then bloody report it and it will be looked at. No report is ever ignored or dismissed, but not all are acted upon for blatantly obvious reasons.

So again, if Charlie found it offensive he should have reported it a long time ago. Simple as that, and same goes for you.

Deci, he's right.

From the sounds of it you really should seek out a therapist, or even visit your Doctor about it. They can possibly prescribe a few different medications that might help with your present problems. If you genuinely are considering suicide then go here http://www.samaritans.org/ or here http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ and talk to someone who knows what they are doing.

You can always talk to me via PM if you'd prefer, but from the sounds of it you may be better off simply not returning to this site if it is causing you such disproportionate stress from the actions of a few idiots.

I hate to have to point this out too, but if you do decide to start spreading personal secrets on here I will ban you myself.

I'm not going to spread personal shit. I'm sure of that.

That's good to hear.
