idea for this site: courtrooms

No, this would not work out. Admins would lose power.

(insert witty statement here)

I like the idea! But if you guys want TMJ, this will have to wait :p

There's a difference between Bud an Buddy, keep that in mind.

That sounds cool. :)

i'm bored :/

You may have written a sizable entry, but you are neglecting to delve into the premises, the effects, the reasoning, the details that count. If I may, I would point out just a few things:

If "moderator" courtrooms are for appealing bans, what are "personal" courtrooms for? Is it really acceptable to allow users to argue over whether they should be banned or not, when 99% of sane users would simply plead against a ban? What gives them that right in the first place? What gives randomly-selected "juries" the right to question such? Are you giving moderators the freedom to give leeway? How would the mechanisms of such a system successfully ensure members and participation? Is not this whole idea taking responsibility out of the moderator's hand and into the (largely irresponsible) public's? Since when did website moderation become democratic?

I find all of this more akin to a than a tool and a process, and it'd be well for the two to stay separate. In all honesty, I deem this seemingly serious idea both unnecessarily convoluted and highly reckless.

I know I'm being very critical and I don't intend to insult, and I apologize in advance, but when attempting to put forward a notion of such weight, considerable thought should take place.

I agree. It is both unnessecary and you need to think about how many arguments would arise if it was put into place.

If we do get these "courtrooms" shouldn't it for perma's?Just think,how busy these "courtrooms" would be with everyone saying "ITS WASN'T MEE","I JUST SAID HI",I QUIT THIS STUPID SITE SITE ALL I SAID IS HI!!","I GOT BANNED FOR NO REASON!!","I WASN'T SPAMMING!!",Yes,you COULD,its POSSIBLE that you could be bannd for No reason but,only by bots because they glitch sometimes.So personally,I would say these "courtroom" would be for Perma's.

To be honest,I had this idea myself 3 months ago but I never said anything because I thought everybdy would think i'm stupid.

LOL. Fail idea.

It's accually a pretty good idea(But for perma's)

Passer has a point. Judging is serious.

If anyone takes this seriously, I've found a new job. (Miiverse story thing)

The distinguished Moulder spake:

This is what I think should happen:
Now if a user is being banned for 24 hours they're banned! Nothing much to say about that, it's just a day. But if let us just say that if a user was going to be permad, maybe that could be a court matter. I'm going to link this thread to Hull's profile for him to see.

thank you soo much for linking this to his profle, and thats why i excluded the 24 hr. ban, or even the skunkbot ban, [because its only 4 hours]

The distinguished Skittles spake:

My post was deleted... o.O

I like the idea of having a ban review kind of thing. Simply seeing if the Admin banned fairly.

i agree...it is just simply seeing iff the admin banned fairly.

3DSBubble had this idea, and I didn't like it. Having "court" for bans is insane. Limxzero had a great point.

No,No they cannot.

This may be a kid's site but making a mockery of the court system?

That's just freaking wrong.
This thread doesn't deserve a lock, it deserves permanent deletion.

The judiciary system is serious--it is not a game.

Seriously?
I mean, how old are you?
Ten years old?

Grow up.

If so... leave him alone... its just a suggestion, not something you "complain" about... in your case, "cry" about... what if he is 10 years... just... if you have nothing nice to type, then dont type at all...

I am lost, I am vain, I will never be the same. Without you, Without you.

Surely if a ban was not negotiable, people would be less likely to 'crime'? If I thought I could wriggle out of a ban I'd be spamming like a madman!! (lol jk but see my point)

Perhaps after the user has been banned they could request a second (admin) opinion. If this admin decides to unban, Great! If not,the ban could be doubled (to stop people doing this all the time)

Of course it is me, But am I the me you seek?
