Mephilist Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Something I used to do was make ban/mute reports. When Staff bans someone or mute someone they do it because they are breaking the rules. But what if they make a ban report saying the ban/mute was unjustified? Well what happens is you discuss it. However Only One person knows about what truly happened. I think as staff you should have a section next to staff zone labeled "mute/ban reports" that can only be seen by staff. you could come up with a format and Provide "evidence" of what actually happened. This way when a ban appeal comes in you can all sit down and look through what happened in the report. Now I am not saying it has to be long, and I am not saying it has to be massively detailed. What i am saying is to provide the evidence needed justifying why you muted/banned the person. This will also be fairly simple once you get in routine. It will also be more professional and will show the responsibility of the moderators on revolution, :thanks: for considering.

Vegeta Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 By the time the report is reviewed your mute would probably already be over and there is already a section to appeal bans. I used to be GymLeaderGreen, VVVV Master Race 4 Lyfe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure labeling players in such a manner. Shaming them even is a good thing to put on display. Granted, we have the jail and public Mute notification in chat. I for one think that staff should discuss this internally and not of public view. ...And all will burn, beneath the shadow of my wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought this would help them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegeta Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 No, not at all. Generally muting is a short lived punishment and an appeal process generally take time. For one you have to provide proof, the mod gets to present their reasoning and then a higher staff member has to determine if the punishment fits the crime and the amount of time it takes to do all this depends solely on when said staff members have time to deal with it. It's simply easier to take your mute and move on. If you get banned, that's generally how the process works and there is no realistic time tables on when they have to get these things done.

I understand that, but people are given the option to fill out a ban appeal. If they said they didn't do anything wrong then staff could look through reports and decide based off that. = ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orihara Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Allow me to rephrase myself, 100% sure that something like that exists already and its not on public view/display. Meaning your suggestion is already in just hidden only to be viewed by staff members. Key Word : Staff Members. ...And all will burn, beneath the shadow of my wings.
