if you suspend someone there should be a reason and a time period expressed. who is with me? mods do you jobs correctly, completely, and respectfully.

suspensions of passion


I AM A VICTIM

1/29/2008 8:44:51 PM

i think some of the people who have been suspended for months on end without the mods even acknowledging it would love to be a victim of marko rage

a whole 10 minute suspension. he just wanted to make sure you went potty today!!1

if you are suspended, how are you going to get that information? or better yet, how are the mods going to get the suspended user that information w/out making it public. which its never been public.

are we supposed to send you a pm and wait until you log on to read it, respond and discuss it?

i mean...great job really thinking this out b/c your ideas are just blowing my mind over here.

1/30/2008 9:33:44 AM

yeah i mean it's not like you need an email address to register with the site or anything

oh wait

1/30/2008 9:44:29 AM

yeah and we are really going to take the time to track all that information down and send it to an email addy that, more than likely, isnt even used anymore

further more...you people know the difference b/w right and wrong and it shouldnt be hard to figure out why you get suspended

now a time table i could understand but thats one of the more fun things about being a moderator...we like to keep you guessing

I dont think the email system works. The email I registered isn't valid anymore, and haven't been able to get it updated even w/ a PM to CrazyJ a couple of years ago and a PM to nael a few weeks ago. Maybe a user-changeable email form?

It would be nice if, when suspended and you try to login, a message would pop up saying that the user is suspended for _________ reason. I know that would require some modification to the code which probably won't happen, but that would seem like it would solve a lot of the BS that's going on lately.

easy fixes too

1/30/2008 10:08:29 AM

good question. dude has a point

2/2/2008 9:48:59 PM

i agree 1000% with this thread

Why shouldn't it be public?

how about an "official suspended thread" or something in here where mods can list who has been suspended and for how long? that addresses the wants of the users as well as the logistical problems that pm'ing or emailing pose.

i don't see the big deal in the first place, i remember it used to be no problem for previous mods (and a few of the current ones) to always step up and say "i suspended X for doing Y, they're gone for Z days" when asked or if a "free X" thread was made. what's the big secret?

its a problem when a mod suspends a user for a minor offense and then promptly forgets about them. I had to pay $5 dollar bucks to create a new account when I needed to use the classifieds so that I could pm theDuke about my suspension that was 8 months old for a single post during the cheese incident in the soap box.

there should be some accountability/timelimit/system for the moderators.

Yeah, not like your status is changed to suspended or anything.

yeah that is good.

also, a simple code modification could be done to generate a http://www.brentroad.com/suspended.aspx page with a script which goes through the list of users and lists all the suspended ones.

for that, a simple fix would be a form on the website that suspended users can fill out if they are still suspended after a long period of time. the form could send a pm to the relevant mod. then the mod can choose to unsuspend or not.

...or give the moderators something like this. This is what it's like on CB. It 1) ensures that users get a warning (it's 4 warnings before they can even be suspended. After that, it's fair game), 2) ensures that the moderators don't forget to unsuspend (done automatically after the set number of days expires) and 3) provides a place for a warning/suspension reason for other moderators to see.... (fuck the TWW users NEEDING to know why others were suspended. It's really none of their business)





aha, I'll still help moderate on TWW if you guys need any help!!1 Throw my name in the hat yo...

Well, you could just send the person a PM saying:

"You have been suspended for _______________ in the thread __________________.

Your estimated time of suspension will be _____."


Would that be hard? There's no reason that the person would need to respond and discuss it or anything (and if they did, there's no reason you'd have to acknowledge it). Just doing this would end most of the problems people have with feeling they have been randomly suspended.

[Edited on February 29, 2008 at 10:26 PM. Reason : my mistake if people can't read their inbox while suspended... which is a silly restricton anyway]

2/29/2008 10:24:07 PM

if they are not logged in at the time of the PM being sent, they wouldnt get it until after it is over...and also, you cant tell if they read it or not.....and are they suppose to wait 10 minutes so you have a chance to read it? By then, they would of forgotten to suspend you unless you reply.
