Removal of reversed infractions

Lmao Adam, that was about old infractions/warnings in general this is the ones where mistakes have been made by the moderation team which unfortunately as me and mwah have highlighted isn't all that rare. We've both had 7 reversed each and his account is only from May 2009, that's pretty dire.

I think the labour could be overcome by when Super Moderators reverse the infraction in the "Report Unfair Infraction" thread rather than reversing it they delete it. That's the same amount of work and if that is indeed possible, it'll be the issue resolved. I'm not sure what would happen with old reversed ones mind you. Maybe they could stay with this new system implemented.

I agree. We shouldn't have to see previously reversed infraction that were given wrongly in the first place on our profiles. I have one, and i'm not liking it there when I shouldn't have got it in the first place anyway.

If it can only be done by Admins can it not be altered so SMODs can delete infractions/warnings too? If not, fair enough. End of discussion if that is the case.

I was just about to say that, but you beat me to it.
Maybe you should be able to request your Reversed Infractions to be removed, however stupid that sounds. And Admins can have a look at the thread when they have a chance.

Its a weird idea for a thread, but it could suit the job.

Yeah, but personally I'm not sure it should be given to administrators to do. They have enough on their plates as it is in my opinion. If super mods can have their permissions altered so they can deleted reversed infraction/warnings then it'd be more appropriate.

Yeah I have 7 reversed ones, 3 of them were issued at the same time and were reversed straight away without me complaining because they made a mistake. If that was to happen to someone who generally doesn't break the rules then it would still add pages to their infractions tab and it'll look like they have more than they actually do because they were issued in the first place :S They'd have to have them there until they all get deleted which I don't think happens much or until they do get banned. You wouldn't need a reversed infractions thread, once they've been reversed by a Smod then that smod should be allowed to delete the infraction, it shouldn't be limited to just admins because it's pretty much just the same as reversing, it shouldn't be on your account as a constant reminder. I reckon mods might just look at the pages of infractions you have (if they can) and totally overlook the rest you may have inbetween which could contain loads of reversed ones which yeah, wouldn't be very fair. If you start deleting them as soon as they're reversed it'll waste less time later on when it's decided to delete each and every one in one time set but yeah I don't like mine and want rid of them now :@

The only reason it is limited to admins is simply because you need access permissions in the admin control panel to do it.

I sure there is someone who they can trust and hire to do this?

I don't think a new person should be hired, not really worth to hire a new person just to do this. Unless there was a thread and the admins just took it in terms like the report infractions thread.

Is there no way the permissions can be changed so super mods can delete them is my question. I now know at the moment that only admins can delete but can this be overcome by a few minutes fiddling around with permissions.

If that is the official line then I obviously don't expect anyone to spend days doing that because I understand and respect that the time could be spent else where a lot more constructively. However, if that isn't the official line them I'm glad to see you'd be willing to look into it.

Or maybe when the SMOD reverses it they could delete it? It would be just as time consuming would it not or do they not have the power to do so? I think that would make sense though. Rather than reverse they could just delete - seeing as the infraction/warning isn't fair.

I don't expect expired ones to be removed because they are there for a reason, I didn't ask that because I know that already. I still think they should be removed after a certain time but that's a debate for another day. :P

Well I for one never take any notice of reversed infractions and unfortunately we are not allowed to delete and don't even have the tools to do so. What you say does make sense though and I am sure if there is a way to do it
by the Smods reporting them for deletion then I would be happy to go along with it. Obviously that is just for the reversed ones. This is just my personal view. :)
