    It has come to my attention that many members here are BANNED instead of taking a short leave of absence. As a forum where we as the public build our OWN content and is basically supported by OUR content, I feel it would be a better use of power to implement an actual infraction system instead of a straight ban whenever diciplinary action is required.

    When we make our build threads, we add our content. Loosing that with a ban and having to start over if we decide to come back as an alt is, well, I'm at a loss for words.

    Flat out banning someone stifles traffic on a site. Might not be a huge hit, but eventually, those people get upset and do not return.

    Think about it, In a school, do they just expell before trying out detention or a suspension?

    ------ consider poll option ONE as a PROPER use of the infraction system also. ---------

    There already is an infraction system not to mentioned banned members' content is not generally deleted unless the member asks for deletion and even then some content stays under username " misc "

    TW is not a democracy. If the mods want to ban us all, so be it. Most are given warnings before a permanent ban, they just fail to heed the warnings or ask to be removed from the site.

    There is an infraction system. And if you are banned, you are not allowed to come back. The members you refer to asked to be deleted. They lost their data because they played the "taking my ball and leaving" game.

    Ok, did not know that, all I ever hear from the M&A is shutup or i wil ban you!

    So the issue is there IS an infraction system and they are not utilizing it properly.

    It was utilized in the instances you are referring to. Those members only received a short ban. They asked for their accounts to be deleted.

    Infraction system is

    You break the rules? Temp ban

    You keep breaking the rules? Longer temp ban

    Still haven't learned? Permaban.

    Of course there are variations... Such as the Cmack variation.
