Ban and Ban related rules

Problem: Orimi's unwarranted permaban and banning procedure in general has spurred me to examine it.

All things are based on bias and bias is something that is almost impossible to rid oneself of when dealing with others, for that reason I don't think bias should be focused on, but systems should be put in place that are general go tos for staff to use. As every case is not the same discretion between situations is obviously necessary, but with site wide guidelines in places players would no longer have the right to complain about unjust banning as they are aware of these guidelines. Also I suggest placing a banning cap, if a person is banned five times from the site they will be permanently banned. Orimi shouldn't be permabanned for trolling while Titan gets 20 or so temp bans and warnings. It's not fair, and one of the key things people complain about is fairness.

So, Yak just banned me from the cbox for a day for absolutely no reason at all. Would be nice if people didn't abuse their authority and made some rules about cbox and site bans and adhered to them.

The main difference though is that Orimi's troll to serious time unlike Titan is horribly skewed. Titan is mostly doing stuf in in a semi serious manner and occasionally trolls and is yelled at for it. I've given him at least 2 warnings myself. Orimi however does nothing but troll to the point where most people see it as so commonplace staff doesn't even bother giving warnings each time. If you want to troll you can do so in the cbox like Natsu and L or in Titan's room.

Orimi aside can the other point be addressed?

Spirit, your refusal to understand the meaning of "no" and your insistence of fucking around with me is more than reason enough to ban you.

That aside, we're hard at work making some ban standards people can see and hold us to.

I had an idea about combating bais the other day... it stemmed from an idea suggested when a member suggested that a certain narrators weren't quite as generous and then that others would give out substantially more rewards. I get the feeling he or she was probably using a bit of superlative but it brought me to this idea.

Across the board, I get the feeling that things like this balance out. No matter what the rules are, even in schooling, grading is always kindof subjective. Some people are gonna be more generous, others are gonna be a bit more stingy with their sd/grade/taxes/chocolate distribution.

I'm not sure how narrators function atm, but in order to make things a bit harder to 'call bias', in Ultrabot's ideal world, every other sl for a crew would be marked by a different narrator. It's not convenient, and with players being in several different crews it could well be awkward. But it would be fairer. =l and it would be easier than doing it on a player by player basis.

Eh. Just thought it would round things out. And if Mods and friends 0.o kept some form of public accountability, a hypothetical 'Ban-list guestbook' about it, maybe in future it could be easier to combat true bias and people calling bias and to address more of the underlying problems behind these uber-bias. =0

I think a public banlist book would be supersweet because a lot of arguments in the angry dome seem to be based around unfalsifiable statements like "I was banned by x on y for z" and "i banned x on y for z". It would be a great way to both 'protect' both parties involved from unwanted rage if some kind of semi-public record existed that players could access. It could be a little awkward as it would show immediately who bans who but it would also show the reason why, so if things don't add up, it would also be much easier to legitimately complain.

If any of these systems/ideas already exist, then wh00t for oprp! Cos from my perspective they seem a little legit. Transparency on both sides might not be convinient, but its certainly a lot better than having a full angrydome. I'm not calling for more permabanning or less... I've only been here a week and a half. I've not really seen any. =l I'm just calling for a bit more publicity about things and less ways for people to cry bias at every opportunity.

Stop giving out that excuse so easily. =l A boss has systems in place in the workplace. Maybe we could have more public ones in place in the fun place.

tl;dr? Anti-bias patrol


Lets do something to at least try to move on from from this boring bias stuff and get back to having fun. =)

(Sorry if it seems a little rushed, I'm very, very, very energydrinked right now. I tend to get a little left wing when that happens, so I can only apologize... =D)
