if you haven't received a response, chances are, the mods don't agree with your grievancesat that point, if you care enough, you can question them personally

The next month and a half is going to be the busiest period of the semester for me. It means that I'll be at home studying a lot, so I'll probably have my laptop and Sep7 open the entire day, but most of that time will be spent AFK and refreshing for reports every few hours.Also, a lot of staff decisions aren't taken by individual mods or monitors. Whenever it's something more serious or important, we usually end up discussing it in the staff chat and don't always take action right away. Patience, young padawan.
I will say, however, that the moderation system genuinely needs more transparency.
Jesus, why does everybody here insist on causing drama? I will say, however, that the moderation system genuinely needs more transparency.
What would you want more? The chat logs?Quote from: Meta Cognition on December 20, 2014, 08:08:57 AMI will say, however, that the moderation system genuinely needs more transparency.
No, not that much. The moderation team still needs to remain "above" the community as it were. I think a good start would be more communication between the users and the moderators. Such as a "We've got your report, and have done X or Y", or "We've got your report and the whole team is considering it". I don't know about the volume of reports, which could make such a thing difficult. That could, however, be remedied by either a larger moderation team, a more standardised system of assessment and punishment and a more inclusive role for the monitors. The first one, of course, is least desirable as you want to maintain the ratio at something reasonable, although expanding the remit of monitors to act as communicators on behalf of the ninjas - sort of like press secretaries - could be a potential solution. We shouldn't have access to the chat logs, though.

Seems you are actually onto something here... I am intrigued, can you forward a PM with some details?Quote from: Meta Cognition on December 20, 2014, 08:14:58 AMNo, not that much.

Then reports would be separate from PM's and reports could be closed when they've been dealt with.http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/?mod=2491

Do reports work?
