A great method would be:

"Did you really mean it when you told Marsh he has squinty eyes?"
"No, I was joking, he knows that"
"Well I got a report, it seems to have offended someone"
"Oh sorry, I'll delete it, I won't tell him he has squinty eyes any more"

Verus

Dear Jessica.,

You have received an infraction at ThisisBigBrother.com - UK TV Forums.

Reason: Completely nasty and rude comment about another member
-------

Quote:

Marsh has squinty eyes.

How dare you think you have a right to say a member has squinty eyes, there is no need at all for this nasty behaviour.
-------

If you have too many infractions you may receive a posting ban.

All the best,
ThisisBigBrother.com - UK TV Forums

Tbh I think the infraction system is a bit messy, and I hope this thread stays open so that we can discuss it like adults rather than someone close it because they don't like that members are wanting to have something change

I think the fact that there's no clear infraction system makes the whole thing a bit redundant, someone could get 1 point for baiting and someone else 2 points (because they were given by different mods) and the second person knocked into a ban because of it, I think we should be able to see the amount of points given and there should be a full list of infractionable offences and the # of points given when they're commited

It's really annoying when mods say "if xxx carries on I'm giving out straight bans" in no way is that ever fair and I've never seen it done on any other forums, I wouldn't have a problem with TiBB staff if there was a system like I mentioned before, because then you know even if a mod dislikes you, you're only getting the set amount of points rather than them upping it (even slightly) because they dislike you

I know what I'm trying to say but it's not coming out properly :fist:

i have only ever reported one person :fan:

Doesn't really matter does it, you are back on now and can post whatever you wanted to post while you were banned.

I already said I don't care about my ban, this is not what it's about. :nono:

p.s I'm not sure what you were actually banned for but you deserved to be for the way you were speaking to Mock a few days back

Yes, because this ALWAYS happens. Its not because for some reason or other a couple of members have to start sniping constantly in decent threads :idc:

We don't have access to the tibb staff account, everything goes automatically through it. We dont think 'oh I want to give someone I hate an infraction but if I do it they will know its me so lets hide'. I get emails when someone PMs tibb staff...but I also get emails from every report that gets made, so I'm sure you can imagine, I have set my tibb emails to go right to spam :laugh: I'm not reading through 50+ messages a day full of rubbish

If someone sends a proper reply to the account, james/josy let us know. They do not, however, pass on messages such as 'omgz this is bias, its not fair, X has a grudge' and other crap like that

Idk why people care tbh

And yeah the systems a bit messy, but ANYTHING that requires human judgement is. The only way for it to be completely fair really is to have only one person modding the entire forum. Even a set (3 points for insult) wouldnt work, as then someone could say 'foxysarah is fat' while someone else said 'i hope elproximo drowns in a vat of acid while pins fly into his eyes' and then would both recieve the same points D:

Well either way I just hope the thread stays open so that people's queries are answered :fan:

Spoiler:

(Some of them might be irrelevant bc it's a music forum but still, it works a lot better than the ones on here

Aha ok I didn't realise this actually because all mail from TiBB goes to a separate folder which currently has 3862 unread messages

But seriously back on topic can a mod respond to my posts please :dazzler:

We've discovered that you have a duplicate account and are carrying on a second persona.

I like this. I always thought we were too lax on multis...

Anyway, I would be up for a change to the infraction system tbh.

will that help with the amount of mail
you have to read?

ALSO can we get actual reasons for infractions, I'm reading through my previous ones and the amount "Reason: No"'s is ridiculous, it just isn't that professional, which I think it should be if you're going to bother having a "middle man" which is TiBB staff

Thanks to all of the mods who have contributed to this thread, I expected it to just flop but I was pleasantly surprised.

Shame on the derailers. :nono:

See, the system works :clap2:

There'd be no more complaints too about bias modding, because everything is there in black and white about why you'll be infracted and how harsh it'll be

Yes but theres still the issue of stuff like, lets take the swear filter...

X says 'this is ****' breaking the filter

Y says 'you stupid motherfcking c unt, fcking dickheading wankface cumstain'

Both should get one points? Personally I don't think thats fair either

:joker::joker::joker::joker:

One is just breaking the swear filter, the other counts as breaking the swear filter AND insulting someone, so they should get the points for both things?

Yes but the difference there is that X has simply broken the swear filter, Y would be breaking the swear filter AND attacking another member so the points build up. :smug:

I should be a mod tbh. :idc: Everyone would be getting a dozen charges for one post.
