shunshundedun Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 What's the point in starting a new thread each time someone gets banned but deliberately locking the thread so no one can have a public voice on these threads? If you go locking these threads then might as well not start them in the first place.
micalov Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 They aint there for debates, ppl would just start spamming crap, arguments would start, "he said" "she said" ect. They are just there to show who and why someone was banned as an example to others and so ppl can see the reasons X person was banned.
shunshundedun Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 Then wouldn't one thread with the rules serve the same purpose? That's more efficient that having all those this and that user got banned locked threads.
ub3rman123 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Having each in its own thread allows for more organization. In a few cases the threads are strikes, so they may need to be added to. Some times a user is unbanned, hence requiring an update. The threads are there for transparency, so the Nexus does not make irksome users simply disappear into the night, leaving people complaining about injustice. As for locking them: Earlier on in the Nexus, the threads weren't locked, so people would go on them and say things like "What an idiot" or "This wasn't deserved!" leading to more moderation being required. With the locks, no public discussion is encouraged. If you want to discuss a ban, it should be dealt with via PMs to the moderator responsible.
Vagrant0 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 It is primarily the way it is for the sake of organization. Sometimes additional notes need to be added to a specific case which are not appropriate or safe to display publicly. It also allows easier searching for exactly who was banned/given strikes and why. A single thread would be far too chaotic and cluttered to be of much use, especially when we have to later add to a ban report or reinstate someone.
bben46 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 As we do not allow discussing bans - read the rules They are posted under 'Terms of Service' at the top of every page. And, you had to agree to abide by them as part of your sign up to post here. :thumbsup: We lock them to avoid having to ban even more people. Enough of the banned come back as trolls now. Leaving their ban topic open would just encourage them. If you read the ban topics, many are just spambots recently.
