Detention Block AA-23 : The OT.com's Banned Members... — Page 49

This topic has been locked by a moderator.

SilverWook has been pretty darn active, even oojason. It’s not like it’s been a lawless zone, given how quite a few users have been banned since I’ve come to talk TLJ. Part of the issue I believe is that some of us don’t use the report button as often as we should; more often than not, I see it where members try to play moderator, but it tends to lead to more issues and becomes a bigger mess until a moderator has been alerted.

I think we should wait for Frink to return from his temp-ban before we continue to condemn anyone else or go on endless conjecture.

What’s the problem with “condemning anyone else?”

I don’t think that’s very fair to do if they are not here to defend themselves. I’m fairly certain everyone we’re talking about doesn’t visit this section of the forum.

That’s their problem. You can send them a PM and direct them here. It’s not like we registered on a different forum to talk about them behind their backs.

Breaking the following rules will result in an immediate and permanent ban with no prior warning:

  1. Personal attacks and slurs based on race/ethnicity/religion/gender/sexual orientation/etc. aren’t tolerated under any circumstances.

So Jay is the r-word a personal attack and slur, yes or no?

He just said yes.

I didn’t say it’s a problem that you specifically haven’t seen it. But I think it’s a problem that the most active thread right now goes relatively unmoderated out of fear to be the one that reveals a spoiler to the mods by reporting something.

Jay also has other mods that he can delegate issues to, so this complaining about having to go to into a spoiler thread is really moot since there are at least two other people that can handle the situation for him.

Jay was the one saying that he had to watch the movie first before others in that thread could be moderated. Apparently he doesn’t want to delegate these issues or the mods haven’t seen the film yet either.

I defended Jay about his not seeing the movie. But complaining about having to moderate the spoiler thread is a bit much, don’t ya think?

I must have missed that.

Jay kind of did say yes.

Jay said:

Regarding the “r-word”, we’ve disciplined other members for using it and will continue to do so when it’s brought to our attention. Had Frink contacted us about its use in the TLJ thread instead of going off, we would’ve corrected it there as well.

But he did not go as far as to say that it was a slur; he just said that other members have been disciplined for it (which is something I have not seen, but maybe I’m missing something). He also never said it applies under rule number seven.

But the person who used that word, I believe, is still active and roaming the forums. If you agree that it is a word that people should be disciplined for using, why haven’t you disciplined that person?

That was done in PMs as far as I can tell. The guy apologized publicly. I don’t see any reason to ban him.

I see a reason, under rule number seven.

Jay said:

You’re welcome to report specific posts that you think are against the rules to oojason and SilverWook via PM since they’ve seen TLJ.

Well if they have seen the movie, then what the heck is this about:

SilverWook said:

Jay has said more bans are likely as he reviews the thread. And he hasn’t even seen the movie yet so he’s spoiling himself in the process.

If mods have seen the film, they can review the thread.

I’ve avoided all but one major spoiler up to this point and would like to remain relatively spoiler-free until I have time to see the movie. Those of you who think it’s a “problem” that I haven’t seen the movie yet are welcome to volunteer as my personal assistant so you can manage my calendar and explain to my family and employer why they come in third place to a movie released right before a major holiday.

This isn’t about putting your family in third place. No one wants you to do that. The point is, if your personal life is so busy, maybe you need to delegate more.

Then I guess the r-word is not a slur under the rules Jay posted. Because the rules clearly state using a slur results in an immediate perm ban.

Thank you. Fellow members would do well to take notice of this post.
 

I will also point out that people will not be aware to much of the moderation that occurs in some particular threads.

Please note that we keep this thread alive to serve as a mechanism for announcing or explaining the reasons certain bans occur.

It is NOT an outlet for you to express your approval of (or joy at) users being banned, regardless of the reason.

Users are banned temporarily because their infractions aren’t serious enough to be removed permanently; negative comments about them while they’re gone aren’t conducive to a friendly atmosphere when they return.

It is also not an outlet for members to express their judgment as to whether someone has been ‘rightfully’ or ‘unfairly’ banned etc.

There is often a lot more going on behind the scenes than you are aware of - or privy to - when a member is banned (temporarily or permanently) - and any decision is not taken lightly.

That a member states with some assurance as to why someone else is banned is beyond me - and is also often incorrect. Yet that incorrect assumption then seemingly becomes taken as ‘fact’ by others, and spreads across the site.
 

Some decisions taken may appear to be somewhat unfair or unjust - however please trust the mods & Jay to do the best we can to ensure the smooth-running of the site - and to unfortunately take appropriate action when also required.
 

We do have work, families, friends and loved ones, other interests - and a life outside of here (I think). We all put considerable time, effort and energy in to try and keep this place a decent, somewhat different, corner of Star Wars geekdom - much of which you may not ever be aware of - or see.

In my short time as a mod here I have been taken aback by the dedication of Jay & the mods as to just how much work goes into keeping this site what it is.
 

And thank you for the tips on responsible modding.

That assumes the rules are held to, hard and fast; as opposed to taking the circumstances and intent into consideration.

I don’t think they intend to just drop the hammer equally on all subjective cases of rule breaking, even if the forum rule page warns they might.

Regarding JMSW, Frink wasn’t the only one who suspected him to be JMOW, yet noone received even a warning. It was just stated that he’s not a sock and that calling him a sock will no longer be accepted. And I think Frink stopped after that.

There was also the username thread incident, but then again, Frink was not warned individually, only a vague “you” group.

I’ve checked this and you’re right - thank you.

Due to other circumstances going on behind the scenes - and in other threads - it had been overlooked.
