This is true, Spider.
From my perspective (limited like everyone's)....
Mods range broadly in temperament and personality.
I would be more concerned if suspension/bannings are left in their hands, it will cause dissention between them as mods. Not so worried about the members on this as I am them. I guess that's why I personally lean towards "the jury". I'm not for the infraction system, but then I still have a bad taste in my mouth about that coming from the other board. If we used the infraction system here, how would it differ? That was a sore subject for many who came over to this site and some other issues surrounding it. I say this without ever receiving an infraction, just watching a board get torn a part due to 'policy' basically.

Any infraction, banning or warning I have ever recieved I deserved. I trust Tned, so whatever he thinks is what I think. I also think he is very handsome.
Beef
No one Mod should ever have the power of banning all to themselves. If there is a poster getting out of hand then perhaps a temp suspension to simply pause the problem but the decision should be yours as the admin or the mod group as a whole whether it is a lengthy or perm ban.
Just my
well Tned , i think you know me well if enough to know if I felt something was unfair , I would come right out with it ..... I think I have pushed the envelope here more then anyone else , I havent had a single run in with a mod yet . though I am getting better with my "Personal attacks "I still have a ways to go

Actually Tned , I think you have a fair group of Mods here , even including the kool aid thing give them the benefit of doubt untill they give you a reason not to

I agree wholeheartedly about having a fair group of mods. This discussion is in no way meant to be a negative reflection on them, but instead the natural way we proceed here at Broncosforums.
It is an issue that has been on the table, both as a town hall item and as a mod group item for some time. We implemented some internal "temp banning guidelines" to buy us time until we could come up with permanent, but we have now been around (9 months or so) long enough that we need to establish some rules.
For instance, even with the temporary time out, among our mods, we would have a fairly wide disparity in 'when' the trigger would be pulled. That is simply human nature.
So, we have a few things we need to address.
- Should a single mod be able to give a timeout or 24 hour suspension, and if so, should there be guidelines as to what warrants that, or should it be a pure judgement call (currently there are loose guidelines as to what constitutes an emergency and this was defined when the advisory board was in effect).
- What procedure (points, multiple warnings, a vote of some kind) should be used to determine longer (past 24 hours/timeout) suspensions of 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, perm ban, etc.
- Should there be a warning or x warnings before any suspension is given.
- Etc.
fair enough and thats why I am still here .... things are pretty fair ......
Maybe Verbal warning then a 24 hour ban , then a 72 hour ban , then a 30 day etc ......Although i dont think there should be stipulations on a 24 ban , if a poster feels he /She / It/ has been banned unjustly , they can come ot town hall and plead their case

I think that Tops had done a superb job. Can't say the same about the other mod who is pretty active here and actually gets involved in the drama.
