Observation On The Server's Ban Policy

[Trips 344]

 

Why is it so hard to say that "X rule deserves Y punishment for Z amount of time?" A real-life judicial system is much more complex. Just because "Oh, every case is different!" doesn't mean you can't assign objective standards and punishments.

 

If someone breaks a certain rule, they should be banned for a certain amount of time as long as they are found guilty of it. Allowing for bans to be completely up to the discretion of staff is asking for bias.

 

This should indeed be a case, hopefully we can see a change soon. Set bans can be a solution.

 

 

 

 Though I don't think Leo is unbanned yet?

 

Below it shows what it looks like when someone is banned

I just hadn't checked, but yeah.

My statement stands. The timing made it clear that his ban was the reason the rule change came up.

[Old-Rattlesnake 1534]

Human beings are fickle creatures prone to bouts of ignorance and rage while simultaneously expressing exemplary ideals and preaching tolerance. What causes one staff member to react one way will cause another to act completely different depending on uncontrollable and unpredictable factors such as their temperament, friendship to the defendant, or whether or not they're wearing fishnets.

 

Therefore I believe it is in the best interests of everyone within the server that we immediately liquidize any interference of the staff team on ban reports and replace them with the unbiased and truly justicial characteristics expressed by Gerald the Gerbil.

So, to summarize, we shouldn't even try to correct problems or thinktank better ideas because people are going to be biased no matter what?

 

People can control their temperment. Consider the philosophy of stoicism. This is not an 'uncontrollable' factor; mature people should be able to hold a conversation and be semi-rational, even when emotionally bothered.

 

Staff, in a similar way, should recognize conflicts of interest and not be involved in cases with their friends. This is not an uncontrollable factor.

Some jokes aren't funny.

Some jokes aren't funny.

Whats funny for you may not be funny for the other guy and so on.

 

Also as a person who was banned twice for saying the "a word" I would like to say JE SUIS CHARLIE!

That's what I'm saying.

 

You can't just say something and say "Hey you're not allowed to be offended, it was a joke!"

[Samson Option 9652]

I am an African American and can attest to the fact that the word lost its offensive meaning. After all, we'd greet each other with affection with this term so fear not!

[Samson Option 9652]

Wait, the liberals have made je suis charlie as a justification to wield offensives freely!

[Kickstarted and Running 965]

I'm Jewish and I don't like when people say the n word. It offends someone I know by association of another person. Thank you.

[TornadoWatch 364]

lol what's even the problem if you're offended

 

if you're offended, this is what happens:

 

"wow I didn't like that"

 

you then proceed to step away from whatever is offending you, feel butthurt for some indeterminate amount of time, and then you're absolutely fine without any longterm damage to your person a few days later.

I was called the L word. I request a 1 month ban.
