Hope everyone is having a good day. I'm just going to leave this here...
Just reporting does not remove or suspend users or posts.
All reporting does is alerts The Editors
Reports are not seen by User Moderators
There is no "10 reports = suspended" system AT ALL.
THERE IS A WEEKEND EDITOR. He is human.
THERE IS A EVENING EDITOR. He is human.
There are USER MODERATORS. They have the power to suspend & ban users.
Suspensions are for an ARBITARY amount of time. Editor's decide this.
Bannings are permanent.
If you think we've been unfair at any point ask yourself the following questions about the situation: "Does it involve my mate?" & "Does it involve me?" - If you answer yes to either of these you may be suffering from a social illness known as "bias"
We DO NOT tell everyone why they are banned, suspended etc, it is not a constructive use of our time.
Sure you (or me either come to think about it) may not fully understand how it works (though i think my hat idea is a good one!), but i think banging on about it is a good way for you to find out what it means- and not in a good way either.
I was not 'banging on about it',B00.......I was enquiring based on my understanding of the word 'suspension.'
I fully accept that the Ed's got to do what an Ed has to do.
