Hai guys,
I just got 'inspired' by a certain member of staff to post this idea since it sounded rather awesome. What I'm suggesting is a policy to make bans fairer but more simple, and to tackle troublemakers faster and more swiftly. My idea is called a 'timeout ban'. A timeout ban would be given to troublesome members who are given one warning. Everytime they're given one warning, they're given a timeout ban. The timeout ban would essentially be a permenant ban for 24 hours, a cooldown period for a member to get their act together. This would be followed by a caution (reason: Timeout #1?) which would stay on the members profile for a set time, depending on the severity (1 month being the least, never expires being the most).
Everytime you get a Timeout caution, you either get a 24/48/72 hour ban. If you have 2 active Timeout cautions, you recieve a 48 hour ban, and as for 3 a 72 hour ban. If the member persists to cause trouble after 3 timeouts, they are put into a caution for one week and then followed by a permenant ban if they persist (as policy is right now.. I think.)
Reason I'm proposing this is because I know alot of members who have moments of rebellion, and they get their account infracted for it but they come to regret it afterwards. Timeouts could be put in like the above method I've stated, or as a ban which is used at Moderators discretion. Personally I like my idea, but Moderators discretion would definetly be something of a problem solver when it's a member who doesn't usually troublemake.
Discuss amongst yourselves, and NO MAD, NO FLAMING.
