If a sentence is considered too lenient or severe it gets discussed in the mod forum where we all take a vote and decide if it stays the way it is or if it needs to be tweaked.
The Red & Black Forums Rules
Offensive Language
Do not use it by any means! You could make your point without the extensive use of insulting words.
Respect
Respect other members' opinions and they'll respect yours. If a member insults you, don't answer back but report it to the appropriate moderator or administrator. Treat the others the way you want to be treated. Threads containing personal attacks will be closed or deleted. Offenders will be warned and action may be taken against them.
every "insults" ban is a result of multiple factors. usually it's context that makes the difference between being let go or getting banned.
usually these are the things that make users more likely to get banned:
- if that user has habit of insulting people or is on a streak of insulting people
- if the post's aggression was unprovoked and it gets reported by the person at the receiving end of the insult or if multiple people sent reports
The 2nd part of a ban is it's length: influenced mostly by the severity of the offence and previous bans. The luck of the draw on the mod who swings the ax is also a factor. Some mods are more lenient and only take into account the current offence, some go by the book and give longer sentences to repeat offenders.
If a sentence is considered too lenient or severe it gets discussed in the mod forum where we all take a vote and decide if it stays the way it is or if it needs to be tweaked.
his previous ban was 1 month, the next ban is 3 months.
Thats like 3 strikes and out rule... lets not strive to be like the Americans.
Look at the individual offense and the person behind it... you all must have a reasonable understanding of yr usual posters. Hand on heart, the forum really doesnt have malicious members that you need to sentence with past transgressions in mind.
Sumtimes are misunderstandings, at least give them a chance to explain themselves, then ban them.
There are members still banned for not showing KingKali love... can you believe that?
Sage, brother, I'm not being confrontational with you or any of the mods here... just seeking clarification.
One could say it's a braindead decision
