Bans & Moderation

[Leia]

Might as well share my thoughts:

1)

Strange
just shows how much the forum wants to censor thoughts

I fully support demoting of Joe FWIW

I mean, it's Flipline's forum, Matt can really do whatever he wants, even if that's censoring posts (I'm assuming you mean posts because censoring thoughts doesn't make much sense). 

2) If it makes any of you feel better, yes the number of bans is increasing but it's not becoming an abnormal number. The way I see it, we went through an abnormally good period of time and now it's going back to normal.

3) I agree with Nick in the sense that the way I see it, Joe is the only administrator on the forum at the moment. I don't think replacing him makes any sense because there are no good replacements. He's probably the best we've got at the moment.

4) Adding on to what Lusamine said, I have the list of previous bans saved on to my computer if people want me to PM it to them, it's only updated to the date when it was removed off of the forum though.

Obviously no bans is preferable, but I highly doubt we'll ever return to 2013 Summer levels

When a controversy surrounds a ban, it's not rocket science that cleaning up the topic will make you look bad. Also, Matt said that all big topics would be periodically cleaned, and yet this is the only topic afaik that is cleaned up. Given the timing, it's definitely a bad move.

All big topics? What about Fan Art?

[Carrot]

Fan Arts will most likely not get hit since its, well, fan art

I mean, maybe they will pick thru some post that really don't matter but that's about it.

[Ianiant]

All big topics? What about Fan Art?

I don't think they'll ever clean Fan Art. I think they were only talking about stuff in Forum Discussion or related.

[Nickito]

If I became a mod I would go through and delete "wow that's good" type posts from like 2014 to make more room

[Ianiant]

I didn't know two-week shoutbox bans existed.

AskJoe [Apr 22 05:02 PM]:   Ianiant is SB banned 2 weeks for fighting, spam, and rudeness. Surgekeeper is SB banned 1 week for fighting.

AskJoe [Apr 22 05:05 PM]:   Natsuki is SB banned 3 days for spamming even after being warned.

DeluxePizza [Apr 22 05:06 PM]:   Wait, was this because of yesterday? @Joe
AskJoe [Apr 22 05:08 PM]:   @DeluxePizza yes.

[Bandero]

I don't get why people get in fights so often on here... like just leave if you hate everyone

[~Faith~]

It's impossible to leave when you have a some sort attachment.

Taking breaks works, it doesn't have to be for forever

[Makima]

I honestly don't get Ianiant's tactics and all, though.

[Maki Shijo]

Tbh just ignore people who seem irrating to you

[Makima]

I know what I'm doing sometimes...
