I am unsure about an issue with banning

[miata13B]

Is it possible to create a petition against any member that we feel is not welcome in this community to ban them? ? ?

I know this is an upfront answer and all I want is a yes or a no. . . Thanks guys : )

That would be great. Wanna sign my petition to ban you?

 

[miata13B]

Sure. . . when is my public banning?

I would say, No. That would be a kangaroo court * and could start vendettas against members that have done nothing wrong.




* why is it called that?

Actually I believe that if enough of those little red "x's" to the right accumulate against you, you will become a member of the "banned"

Everybody knows about those kangaroos.

I know this is more on-topic, but is Cobraboy banned or not, I've seen him switch a ton of times.

Uh, no. This sounds like a terrible idea. Let the moron moderators do their job. Even though they don't do that great of a job, they sometimes get it done. There's really no reason to have a public banning petition; the report to moderators link works just fine.

Sure. I'm starting a petition to ban Curveball.

No. Members are banned after AUP/TOS violations. The number of violations that they can incur prior to banning is generally 3, but they can be banned sooner or later than that depending upon the severity of the offence(s) and the general degree to which they contribute to the community.

In each case, it's up to the discretion of the Moderator concerned, and the matter is generally discussed privately amongst the moderators before, during and after.

so basically No, and then you won't ban me for the petition to ban miata then. . . ok thanks Giles you can close this : )
