MAKE PUBLIC GUIDELINES FOR BAN WARNINGS

[owenshooter]

HOO-AH!!

SUGGESTION: MAKE PUBLIC THE STEPS/GUIDELINES FOR ISSUING WARNINGS/BANS AND MAKE MODERATORS ADHERE TO SAID STEPS/GUIDELINES

IMPROVEMENT: THIS WILL ELIMINATE CONFUSION AND APPEALS OF BANS THAT PLAYERS ARE NOT AWARE OF AND HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY WARNED FOR

HAVING RECENTLY RECEIVED A BAN FOR USING ALL CAPS IN GLOBAL CHAT. I WAS WHOLLY UNAWARE OF THE WARNING WITHIN GLOBAL CHAT BY A MOD, AS I WAS NO LONGER IN OR USING GLOBAL CHAT. NOW, AS THE MOST BANNED/TIMED OUT, ACTIVE MEMBER OF CC, I AM WELL VERSED IN HOW THESE THINGS OCCUR. GENERALLY YOU RECEIVE A PM FOR A FINAL WARNING BEFORE THE BAN HAMMER DROPS. THIS SAME MOD IS AWARE OF THIS PROCESS, AS THEY HAD ISSUED ME A WARNING AT THE END OF LAST MONTH, VIA PM. ONE, I MIGHT ADD, THAT I CAPITULATED TO, AS REQUESTED.

I BELIEVE RECEIVING A PM GIVES AN ACTUAL PAPER TRAIL, VS. THE ALLEGED PAPER TRAIL OF A NOTE LEFT IN GLOBAL CHAT. HAD I RECEIVED A PROPER PM WARNING FROM THE MOD VS. THIS WARNING THAT I NEVER SAW A DAY PRIOR, THIS THREAD WOULD BE UNNECESSARY.

THIS WAS LEFT ON MY WALL AS EVIDENCE:
________________________________

You did have a warning yesterday.

owenshooter: IF I BLOW THEM UP ON MY DESKTOP (MAPS), I CAN NOT ACCESS THE CONTROLS OF THE GAME. IT IS DIFFICULT, BUT I WILL BE HEALED UP AND GOOD TO GO WITHIN A MONTH.

epic0002: Ela, Wladyslaw or PAF?

roprotem: That sounds like the doubple play combo for the Warsaw Warriors baseball team.

Elaterate: huh?

roprotem: tinker to evers to chance

roprotem: double play combo

Elaterate: I see now & replied

Quirk: Game 24745354

SassboT: OMG! solar! Tell me more!

CHURCH LADY: Owen please do not post in capitals. You do not have any legitimate reason for doing so. Thanks

__________________________________

THIS WARNING WAS NEVER SEEN. AND, I ACTUALLY STATED THE REASON AS TO WHY I WAS POSTING IN CAPS AND THIS ALLEGED WARNING WAS GIVEN. A PM WAS NEVER SENT. I WAS LEFT TO DANCE RIGHT INTO THIS BAN, LIKE THE TEMPORARY VISUALLY IMPAIRED MAN THAT I AM, DUE TO THE MOD NOT FOLLOWING WHAT I BELIEVE IS THE PROPER PROCEDURE FOR WARNINGS/BANS.



I BELIEVE THAT MAKING CLEAR THE PROCESS AND MAKING ALL MODS ADHERE TO SAID PROCESS, WOULD GREATLY BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY.

if you can't do the time, don't do the crime

[owenshooter]

if you can't do the time, don't do the crime

YOU DO REALIZE YOU ARE ADDRESSING THE MOST BANNED, NON-PERMA BANNED, PLAYER ON THE SITE, CORRECT? I HAVE HAD YEAR LONG, 6 MONTH LONG, 3 AND 1 MONTH, COUNTLESS 1 WEEK AND MULTI DAY BANS. IT IS NEVER AN ISSUE WITH DOING THE TIME. IT IS THE THE JR. MINTS THAT CREATE ARBITRARY RULES OR FLAUNT A LACK OF RULES, TO DO WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT IN GOOD FAITH.

EVEN BETTER, HIS CLAIM OF A WARNING IN GLOBAL CHAT BRINGS INTO QUESTION ANOTHER CC FLAW, TIME STAMPS. CAN YOU TELL ME WHEN I POSTED THAT, WHAT TIME THAT WARNING WAS ISSUED AND WHEN/IF I SAW IT, BEFORE POSTING AGAIN (CHAT DOES REFRESH). I JUST WANT EVERYONE TO BE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH WHAT IS AN OFFICIAL WARNING AND THE ACTUAL PROCESS MODS HAVE TO FOLLOW. PM'S WERE WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE THE GOLD STANDARD. JUST LOOKING FOR SOME CLARIFICATION

There should be an impartial process for mods to follow when banning people. I don't see why this shouldn't be simple and available. Not all the possible reasons for a ban, but how the information is delivered - eg chat or pm, how many warnings, reason for the ban, length of ban, consequences of further bans etc.
Of course, I suspect that if the actual ban guidelines are published in detail, that will be the trigger for certain individuals to try to get away with stuff that's not mentioned explicitly - which, apart from being rather sad, will waste the mods' time when they have much better things to do.
Timestamps, while obviously helpful, would take up space in the chat window, so that would need some thinking about.
The alternative, of course, is to behave nicely and not do anything that will risk a ban, but it doesn't take away from the original suggestion.

THAT IS ALL I THINK IS NEEDED. GUIDELINES ON HOW THESE ARE DELIVERED.
THE BLACK JESUS THANKS YOU FOR YOUR ABILITY TO SEE THE ISSUE FOR WHAT IT IS
