    Default Banning Policy

    Since this is a member moderated community I wish to lay down ground rules for the banning of a user.

    • PM sent to Admin. Admin will review.
    • If Admin deems the situation to be a banable offence then a poll will be created in the Politics forum.
    • The poll options will be as follows:
      • Permanent ban
      • 7 day suspension (some situations may warrant 30 days)
      • No ban
    • A 51% majority must rule in favor of the ban.
    • At least 10 senior members must vote in the poll for results to be valid.
    • The poll will be open for voting for 24 hours.

    Good idea

    Will you be able to see who voted so you can determine that 10 senior members voted?

    looks good. although i think the temp banning should be 1 month min. one week is just to short a time.

    A suggestion:

    I agree with mithril - permanent is a very clear message, "no ban" is too. 7 days is no longer than a vacation; someone could go this long and not even know they've been banned. Theoretically. Maybe keep the 7-day ban for slap-on-the-wrist infraction. But if you have someone you may think you want to get rid of, but not 100% sure, then slap 'em w/ I'd say at least three months. Time to think if whether they really want to be a part of this board. My 2 cents.

    Oh yes, just ask corona gigante, that's ALL I ever do around here. You know me, I never do cigar reviews or trades or box passes or offer advice or help, all I do is bully new members. He's a pretty smart guy ya know

    Sounds good to me, although a week sounds a little short, and three months sounds little long. Who knows, one day I may get to vote in my own banning

    is there any policy on repeat offenders who are let back in after the 30 day suspention and are up for another banning poll? i mean will the choices stay the same or will the tempory ban be bumped up a little? you know to be more of a kick in the ass and not a slap on the wrist.

    We'll all know next month because the odds of corona gigante being just as big of an asshole when (and if he comes back) are so high that we'll all be voting again before you can say "HEY, I'm running an auction!!"
