What's the system for banning? like is it three MM's = a gnorc and like, three or five gnorcs = a ripto?

I thiiink gnorcs just escalate in time the more they're given out,but it's up to the modding for a Ripto?

There's no limit to how many times someone can break the rules and be suspended/banned for it.
There's no "strike" system as you've described. What usually happens to a user who re-offends is dependent on who is modding them. |

Wouldn't things make more sense if there was more of a system in place in terms of what would warrant more severe punishment? Like, I know a few users who have been gnorc'd and they never learn their lesson and keep coming back and doing the same things and nothing is really done. This is nothing against mods btw, I know it's a tough job with tough decisions, I'm just saying wouldn't it make more sense for those who have already been gnorc'd to have more of a punishment as they keep breaking the rules and after like five gnorc's a ripto comes into play?

Those work better on bigger forums where the mods have no hope of knowing everyone. In here people have been here for half a decade or more, so if the gnorcs from dumb posts way back then added up to a ripto, it wouldn't be fair.

Well then I guess they could take into account the gnorc and severity of their actions that warranted it and that would add up I'm not sure how to perfect the idea, it's just that a lot of users seem to do and say the same things after a punishment and dont really learn

Well, the mods are free to ripto at that point and there's usually plenty of time to talk it out(if it's the people I think it is), they just decide to not do that.

If they refuse to learn their lesson after several MMs and suspensions, that's the point where we go to Dark and talk about a permanent ban. Quote: Bifrost
Mods can't permanently ban anyone. Riptos are exclusively Dark's feature. Even suspensions from mods are hard limited to 48 hours max, compared to Dark's which don't have such a limit (two weeks seem to be his favorite). |

Of course it would make more sense. I may not speak for everyone but I think all the mods agree on a better system. We've noticed constant re-offenders and they cause a lot of problems for us. Modding here is like a democracy, we get the opinion of other mods at the time and base our decisions on the majority. There are many times where we can't make any choice or do any action because we all can't agree on it and the problem either solves itself or gets worse. I understand how that may make us sound incompetent, but there isn't a "rule-book" as to say for us. This method works for the minor issues, but for larger ones, a direct and decisive approach would be far more effective and we're aware of that. |

I guess that's where a lot of complaints about mods come from, like I didnt know it was that limited, and I guess most people dont, seems a bit unfair to me tbh that there isn't much power for the mods

Oh, I had no idea. Though it just needed approval from several mods for a ripto. Well this explains a LOT of people who run or have ran around contributing absolutely nothing positive to the forum but still get out with a gnorc at the most.

That could also partly be why people see someone being suspended by the mods as a massive deal and then possibly make an uproar about it because the issue "is minor and it was an overreaction". They could see a suspension and assume it's for several days or weeks, but in reality the most we can do is two days and our suspensions closer serve as time outs as the actual suspensions Dark is able to hand out. ...Says the one most hesitant to ever pull the trigger on suspensions and regularly blocks votes to do them. |
