A 2-day ban? No, what an actual joke. As the posts have been deleted, I'll confirm that I have screenshots and - whilst I'm not "scared" in the slightest of vague threats on an anonymous service - I do think that this being allowed to fly is frankly a ridiculous way to run... err... anything at all.
I'm willing to pursue it via other avenues but I'd like some sort of assurance that threats of violence are taken seriously, especially as there's a documented track record of them being brushed under the carpet. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 15-02-2021 at 01:45 PM. |

Umm, noted.
But I don't really think it is a serious threat. And it is as much directed at me as you. The ban was more for insulting / getting personal with another member (which I don't like to see - bringing in personal stuff). You could have private messaged this, by the way.

I thought this thread was TS opting back into ML.

Funnily enough, as he mentioned me moving on career-wise, that is indeed the case and my job for the last almost-two-years has involved a significant element of online safeguarding... there's "a line" and direct threats are very clearly over that line, whether they're realistic or not. I could have private messaged it yes but the whole point is that the "hush hush" 🙈🙉🙊 culture when it comes to this on TiBB is the main problem. |

I don't want to put words into Alf's mouth, but I think he's talking about verbally, and by dealing with TS verbally, I think he's suggesting that he'll then have to end up dealing with mods and admin trough bans/infractions etc.
I do agree that a lot of stuff gets swept under the carpet, but I also see the PoV that banning folks on a small forum perhaps isn't the best thing overall, so i understand the balancing act.

Members being allowed back after long term bans and being put back through the ban system from the start makes no sense to me.

This I agree with, but it's the time limited aspect of infractions/bans that allow a criminal record to be cleared whilst serving a chunky ban.

Back in the weave drama days I remember we were put on like ‘final warnings’ which meant that if we basically put another foot out of line like around that time we just got permabanned or something iirc
Dunno if this is still a thing but sounds like it could be a useful thing to bring back if it’s not |

Threads like this arent allowed, not to brush anything under the carpet like suggested (we were already discussing this in admin earlier actually) but due to them turning into what this thread now is, a place where members seem to think they have a right to discuss other members (at times not even knowing all the details) when that's against the rules.
We don't see what was posted as a serious threat (more to do with what he will do verbally imo) although that's not to say that those type of posts aimed at others are acceptable either. The concerns have been noted but in future please go down the proper route of contacting one of us privately with stuff like this. |

Also just to clear things up, we dont give out permabans apart from in very extreme circumstances it's long term bans that increase in length if we feel its needed which could then lead to indefinite bans.
