Are infractions being scrapped?

*REMOVED* ...are infractions being removed?

Edited by Elkaa (Forum Manager): Some content removed.

I don't think it's final yet but the forum management are apperntly discussing it, yeah.

I do hope they bring back notes, they'll be perfect for the forum. Infractions are only good for small forums, while notes will leave, well, notes for other moderators, which is far more useful.

I agree, it was miles better when we used to just leave usernotes. It stops people disliking moderators because their infracting them all the time.

Usernotes were annoying though, it's like:

Username:
Date:
Reason:
Link:

or something and it was annoying to fill out.

You don't need to put the forum name as, it's in their profile.

All I used to do was

Avoided forum filter.

The layout of it was something like that though.

Hmm...

Infractions are for any forum, especially bigger forums. It is far more informative for both sides, and much easier for us to determine the level of behaviour. The usernotes should only be used for specific issues that can't be recorded via the infraction system (Such as bans, the editing of profiles, and avatar/signature contact information). With the system, we are able to determine evidence is 100% legit if content needs to be edited out of a post, as the system copies exactly what the post contains into a thread for us to refer to with all the other handy information it gives us automatically.

Its actually the other way around usually because smaller forums usually are close friends who use the forum and also much easier to manage .

With user notes you cannot appeal for them to be removed as you cannot see them. You also don't know who has given you them and when a member ends up banned, they aren't usually sure why or for what exact reasons.

We never said we will scrap the infraction system, you have been misinformed I am afraid.

I agree with MAD's response. You guys can have a chance to say what should happen with the infraction system's note, and if it comes through, it will be ignored, you can't do that with usernotes. The reference in the User CP is for you and that is there for your convenience, so you know what you're being warned for and keep track of yourself as well as having a great idea on why you've been banned if you do get banned.
