Removal of reversed infractions

[today]

i got three reversed, if they was gone i'll have exactly one page of warnings!! omg, do it.

Instead of going through manually every ones infractions, why not if someone gets an infraction look and delete any reversed or when reversing, delete old ones at the same time??

[today]

or if people wanna report it then let um but dont advertise it?

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.

Yeah, I understand that you may look through and examine the case in depth. I personally don't think everyone is the same. It's very easy to jump to conclusions. I will use my own account as an example once again because I don't know any other individual cases. You could look at mine and see I have 18 (I think) infractions/warnings on my account. You'd instantly think that's a lot which it is. However, if you removed all the reversed ones it'd be 11 and you'd think, ok that's a fair few but only just above 10.

Obviously that is a vast difference in mentality. Although it's very easy to say now that they aren't considered I think it'd play a huge factor, consciously or not.

This has been looked at by Matt and I as well as Nvr. There would be no problem with us deleting them in terms of the time it would take. Although it is a very time consuming task I would be happy to do it personally. However there is a problem with the fact that by deleting reversed infractions we are also deleting the record we have of the mistakes moderators make. If a Moderator is making a mistake repeatedly then we will not be able to keep track of it. Additionally reversed infractions are a key part of Moderator reports.

To add some details it has do be done via admincp therefore cannot be given to super moderators, and it would take a long time so its not like one day itd be there and the next it wouldn't. However there is the standing problem with the review of moderator complaints, sometimes people issue complaints saying that their infractions from moderator x is always reversed, perhaps because moderator x is a bad mod or perhaps because moderator x is targeting them.

With the tool in admincp we can quickly search for infractions issued by moderatorx and see if it is a trend or not. We do log the number of reversed infractions from time to time but nothing with the detail never mind the search capability provided.

Personally, I'd say that reversed infractions help to protect members more than hurt.

I AM BEING TARGETED BY MOD X

Surly if the reversed infractions/warnings are two months old at least that'll give you enough time to do reports and report about it, even keep a record else where if required?

I don't really mind either way, i've only got 1 expired and 1 reversed, and they were both ages ago, so it doesn't really affect me.
