Surely not knowing how many points you have makes it harder for you to be like 'hmm well I have 4 points until I'm banned for a day so I could risk getting a 1 point infraction to call LeatherTrumpet a twat'

Idk if I made much sense then but basically knowing your own infraction points would just allow you to plan when you're gonna be a bitch which sounds lovely for us but would be awful for the mods!

Well, that’s what Vicky said, however that’s how it used to be and people would still be banned, the only difference was people could see how many points they were getting per infraction, which was fairer

Oh sorry I've only just read through I just wanted to quickly give my two cents because I'm so gobby!

Just needs to be more transparent and I'm surprised it isn't already. That idea should work a lot better because it helps us almost police them, so it keeps everything fair.

This is still my most favourite night in the chat thread

WHY is there no set infraction system on the site? for years now infractions are handed out by mods with zero consistancy at all and as much as mods will say they have no bias, it’s quite blatant that there is and always will be, on top of that there is no appeal system and whenever I personally have replied to an infraction I have never received a response and I imagine many members are in the same boat.

I really don’t understand why mods/admin are so against have a rigid structure of what is classed as a rule break and what isn’t, it’d completely rule out any accusation of bias because it’d be there in black and white as to what is against the rules. It seems like atm there’s far too much of a grey area where depending on who the mod is they can decide what to infract and what rule they want to relate it to.

Thanks Smithy... couldn't have summed it up better

Who has the infraction system driven away apart from a few racist oldies? if anything that's a reason to keep it how it is

Well clearly from above...Mokka, people don’t like coming onto a site where it isn’t moderated prooperly and people are allowed to spout bile, look how long it took before the truth got banned

Bring back Kirk.

But in all fairness like 4 or 5 long term members walked away/limited their time on the site last year

Well then they're obviously not mates.

Maybe it depends on the person but I can always tell when it crosses from banter to arguing.
