The New Moderation Changes.

I agree that you should still get a pm for a warning

Automatic banning will probably, on the whole, work out fine but that's not going to change my opinion toward the lack of intelligent decision behind automatic bans.
I also think removing PMs for warnings is silly, where is the justification for this? They are supposed to remind users of the rules... if they don't get a PM and it takes them a while to notice a new warning in their User CP they are not receiving this reminder.

autoban works well in some situations.

Eg on fp you get instabanned for saying the N word but most of the banning is done by only a few moderators. Less than here really, with about 100,000 members.

I think you should still receive a PM fo warnings less robotic that way =]

This is a sign that you all should be less naughty now.

I'm not saying it won't work, it will be madeto work. I personally just don't like it because it is far too robotic. In my opinion banning should have human input, as they can make an informed decision in regard to a ban. An instant ban for having a certain amount of infractions does do this and for that reason I don't like the idea.

yes I agree garion. what I was saing was autoban works some places. Here I don't think it will, we have a smaller community and a human input feels better than an automated message.

What if the 10th Infraction was obviously a wrong decision and should be reversed...

You can't reverse it because you're banned?

All infractions are overlooked so if that happened you wouldnt be banend for long.

I still like the idea, but I still think you should get a PM when you receive a warning. Otherwise you may not realise you've done something wrong, and then you'll keep doing it until you get banned :(

As I've said before, changing a system that is fine already can often cause problems. Why try and fix something that isn't broken?!

Exactly what I am thinking. I also don't like the idea that people get infractions for petty trivial things that are about as serious as the parliament members watching a cat dance around a mexican hat. 5 infractions for contstantly swearing to purposely annoy members = infraction. Swearing but the filter doesn't pick it up = deserves an infraction, but isn't worth a ban if done 5 times. Same goes for people talking in another language 5 times, tis very petty and not worth a ban.

They've added a system, but it won't work until they've fixed other systems "/
