Re: vB Infractions - Update
We had been getting nasty database errors involving the infraction system. That's been resolved.
This could be a big change to moderation on 2+2, and how much we use and refine it is probably going to be an ongoing discussion well after the change. I'd personally like to see most bans handled through the infraction system.
Below is what I want to start with and discuss. This doesn't get into removing the ability to start threads and such because I wanted to keep it simple at the beginning.
Infractions:
Minor
5 points - expires 3 months - warning option
Standard
10 points - expires 6 months - warning option
Major
20 points - expires 12 months
Quick Ban
45 points
Automatic bans:
15 points = 3 days
30 points = 7 days
45 points = permanent
Quick ban is just a way to give an easy option for that on the infraction page, and the warning option means you can give an infraction without the actual points.
These preset infractions are only a base. When one is given you can list a reason, leave notes, etc. Mods will also be able to give a custom number of points unless we disable that option.
Thoughts? Am I being stupid and/or missing something obvious?
