Cgipson banned? Huh?

I would like to point out that sometimes locking a thread is the only viable option. Yes we can prune out offensive posts one by one as needed, but sometimes (and it doesn't have to be the thread starter) if two or more members get into a fight the good content and the bad can be heavily mixed together in single posts. Trying to remove the offensive whilst keeping the good quickly becomes a complicated issue and often by that point even removing the content won't save the thread. Thus a lock is put into place.

I would say that TPF did start to build itself a "reputation" but that over the last few years the mod team has expanded and done well to really bring things under control as best we can. These incidents are rare and often only involve a very tiny number of the membership - it just so happens that the small number of members sometimes corresponds to very active members on the site.

One other thing that some people might not be aware of is that a private messages can be reported, same as a post.
while Mods can not see PM's between members, if a member reports a PM, its sent to the reported post thread same as any other reported post where it can be reviewed by the mod team. PM's fall under the same guidelines as the rest of the forum, and if someone gets out of line in a PM, they are subject to the same punishments as if they did it in open forum.
(assuming the PM gets reported of course)

This can sometimes lead to punishments being handed out with the forum community not knowing what happened because the infractions were done via PM and not in a thread.
I cant say that this accounts for ALL of the inconsistencies people feel they see with the forums moderation, but i CAN say that it does account for some.

Thank god mods can't read PM's between members. I was wondering about that. I could put my last 6 months of PM's in a juicy novel and do quite well I think.

The introduction of the three-way PM was brilliant Mish. That might get you mod of the year.

Let's start banning people. Let's ban photographers who want AlienBee for Christmas. Then ban who recently bough iPad 5. Ban all the Canon haters. But, don't ban me, I'm loyal to this forum.

 

[astroNikon]

a banning free for all ?

I have met Charlie in person. He is a nice guy and friend with him on FB. I do think he is a bit harsh toward noobies. We butt heads here all the time. I do think 60 days is a bit harsh. I was banned for 7 days and thought that was harsh.
