Unecessary Banning

Some people Have been banning members, or trying to ban members on a personal scale, or just because the person made a mistake.

Example? On a certain chat disclosed to members of Scratch there was a message with a few member names, and a reason for banning.

The reason?

So-called cursing.

Now, All Scratch members KNOW that if you try to type in certain words, The mods will automatically take it off.  HOWEVER, Members have become keen to replace letters with symbols and numbers.

Is that Not censored still?

I and others beleive so.

Also (as stated above) Scratchers have been keen to put someone 'under the bus' for personal reasons, Like old rivalries, skill sets, etc. And WE do not beleive that is right.

I beleive, If someone is up for banning, they should be able to plead guilty or Innocent, and THEN see what the user has done in the questionable era. If found guilty, banning on whatever the Mods call for. If Innocent, they should be left with  a warning, and the accusor a strict talking to.



Is that so wrong?

Re: Unecessary Banning

I just noticed your username... Are you really a big fan of Matsuda?
Anyway, that seems better. I didn't know normal scratchers could ban you? If not, apart from scratch team, who can ban you?

They can't but they can report you. If enough people report you, you get banned automatically, and then the Scratch team reviews the case and makes a call from there.
