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

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

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 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
