1-2-3-4, No This Isn't a Thumb War

1. Revoke Learyfan's moderating position. Whether it be for incompetence, slander, or wielding too much power over other mods is of no concern to me. Just do it.
2. Promote HELLA to mod(maybe admin). Gnubobo said it best, "He's more than an olive branch--he's a dove carting the entire agricultural olive industry with him".
3. Institute a firm policy that whenever a member is banned they must be informed of the duration via PM immediately.
4. Make the number of "points" for infractions accessible. Members should be able to know just how close they are to a ban.
Thank you

1. No reason for it. 2. LOL 3+4: behave, and you are never going to come close to a ban.

Both times I was banned I had no idea I was near. At the very least, if something is added to the tally you should receive a PM stating such.

You should get an email, it's sent to the account you used to when you registered, I think you can change the email if you don't use the address anymore.

Perhaps it doesn't really exist. This whole "point system" may just be a scapegoat. Hand out an unfair ban, blame it on the system.

as far as #3...
you should recieve warnings via pm's from the Moderator giving the warning.
you should recieve an email when you are banned.
as far as #4...
you have 12 points against you.
---
meatspace has 6 points against her.
---
feel any better?
that data base isn't viewable to members...at this time.

I agree. Now if only this were an enforced policy. Or automated.

Somewhat, but I have no idea what the points are from, what the scale is, or if this system is even real.

Once it is, I will have much more confidence in it. Don't forget to add a scale so we know where we're at(i.e. - 3 points = 2 days, 10 points = 5 days, etc).

No there really is a point system.
There is a ban button right next to the top Reply button on each persons post. This ban button is used to respond to that bannable offense or warning...which ever the case may be.
When a Moderator or an Admin click that button they can look up your history as far as warnings and bans...it also has how many points you have against you.
As far as how many points for how long the ban duration is... I really don't have a clue to those.
Maybe Anno would be nice enough to explain how many points it takes and how long the bans are for.

That's really all we want, as well as access to view our own point tally.

So where do I go to discuss my points?

And therin lies the best reason for them to keep the details of this program hush hush. The mods and admins(not all, but most) do not like to discuss actions they take. If everyone finds out how many points they have been given it is sure to start a wave of complaints and appeals.

If certain mods showed any of the fairness that they preach, there wouldn't be a reason for appeals. Unfortunately, I'll be first in line for that appeal once the option is available.... That is if the points are for what I think they are for.....

As long as there is an automated "point system" there should be an automated way to dispute points.
That's only fair.
And what good is a point system to deter infractions if no one can even view the points that they have? That seems ridiculous to me.

I don't understand what the big deal is...the point system is as fair as it can be. All users are treated equally, as opposed to the system before where the user was at the mercy of the mod/admins mood at the time.
If you want to know how many points you have...just ask any mod or admin and they can tell you right away.
The point system is meant to deter users from breaking the rules...that is up to the user. It's meant as a tool for the mods and admins to keep track of the users infractions.
