Re: Ban debate
If I remember correctly, someone wouldn't allowed BLAZE to submit songs for the batch because he was always ban evading. That may have been older judges, but that should still be a rule.
Also, he can be like the old group of people and make his own ODI, nothings stopping that.

Re: Ban debate
Personally, I think the current draconian ban rules are pretty silly. They don't actually solve the underlying problems and give plenty of incentives to be increasingly annoying.

Re: Ban debate
Yeah, I can agree with you on that, but myself as well. I wasn't such a golden example of a community member (remember my persona as the Asterisk Poster).
But, the thing is, I've come a LONG way from doing that and have shown in recent times that I don't do that anywhere near as much as I used to. It doesn't matter necessarily what you do, more or less if it's wrong learn how to correct it. When you do the crime you have to realize it and prove that you can change. Change is imminent in life. If we can't value change, we can't value anything. At least, that's what I believe. |

On another note, I can hardly comprehend what anaru says half the time anymore but that's another story.

But I'm not retarded, I knew exactly what I was getting myself into and for lack of proper conduct, I served my 8 months and wrote a formal apology to the staff. I do think bans should be a case to case basis, whether it be for discipline or because said user is a complete waste of time for the community. People do mess up sometimes, but if they have legitimate interest in helping the site grow and want to dedicate time to work on community projects, I don't see why their ban shouldn't be reviewed (assuming it's a lengthy ban). I'm just using myself as an example but it's probably not the best one. Getting rid of people takes a lot of work. It's easier to try and work with them to change their attitude/behavior rather than mechanically banning them every time an alt pops up. Might sound like a silly idea but the chore of banning somebody over and over usually just gives the person more incentive to come back again until they get bored of it.

Re: Ban debate
Create a new list of rules defining what a ban entails.
Give a clear descriptive rule set providing the examples of what will happen if you do what Anaru has done. It HAS to be set in stone by the Administration. This site has so much potential with it's members, but there is no examples being set forth. It has to start. EDIT: Quote:

Re: Ban debate
Technically, the rules are pretty clear. Dick around, and get banned from the forums. Make another account on the forums, your original account gets dicked even harder. Do it enough and it becomes a perma.

Re: Ban debate
Then write a detailed list of "standard" cases that have happened already or that COULD happen. Yes the list would be extensive, but it would cover all the grey areas and could easily be referenced to in certain cases. There's only so many things someone can do to a forum or website to get perma banned or banned in general to be honest....

If people get banned and want to keep messing around it's quite easy to do so. It's just a matter of how much it's worth consistently trying to keep them away from the site. If it's really a non-solvable case, then there are other ways of moderating who posts on the forums. Manual activation for accounts is tedious, but ODI did it and it worked out within their circle of people (not a great example but whatev.)

Re: Ban debate
Listen, it is opinionated. TO YOU he may be making jokes, to others it can come across as cruel. You have no right to tell us EXACTLY what it is, because it's just that, an opinion. You're opinion is noted and that's that.
EDIT: And Kommi I know you said nothing about popularity, that was me putting my /2cents in there with that term. |

And this is the sort of logic that leads to our really complex tax code, legal system, etc. You can't just make exhaustive cases for everything. At some point, you need to dynamically assess cases that fall between the cracks, or make a judgment call that may or may not have a slight variance of inconsistency due to different contexts. |

Re: Ban debate
There used to be specific lengths in place, people always complained that we weren't consistent with them because it would in fact vary based on the situation.
