My impression of English Forum

[Kaurhz]

Honestly, I would love the forum sanctions to be tied in with in-game sanctions. Banned on here? Should be banned in-game too, frankly.

Might actually help simmer down some folk.

I could see this leading to some pretty crazy levels of witchhunting and abuse.

I agree. People get banned from the forum for unacceptable behavior and just create an alt and start trolling again. There needs to be a better punishment.

How? The moderators are able to see any reported post and able to decide if it breaks the terms or not. It's not mob rule.

If an individual tried to instigate a witch hunt by targeting an individual and spam reporting all their posts, they'd be banned themselves for abusing the reporting system.

But noone gets banned here anyway

People have, and most recently a certain poster has actually been banned.

That being said, in any circumstance, I think the potentiality of it alone would be enough to encourage people to spend less time berating, and more time engaging in an actual discussion.

This actually already happens. Just not for every forum ban. It like most things depends on the severity of the situation. Some things are a ban in just the game. Some are a ban on just the forums, and other times you can be banned on both at the same time. Though it takes something really extreme for a forum ban to result into an in-game ban. There's a reason that most people use Reddit and Twitter instead of the official forums. They can't have their feelings/complaints/passive aggressive behavior traced back to their characters.

All that would accomplish is killing any and all activity on this forum. It simply wouldn't be worth risking your account on the whims of very random and inconsistent moderation. Just off my own anecdotal experience from various friends and people I've played with, some of been permabanned for a single swear word offense... yet if I type that same four letter word in the search box right now, I'll find... oh, let's see: five pages of it showing up. A friend of mine was flagged for mentioning that website we all know and love some time back despite the fact we've seen threads dedicated to talking about parsers and just about every other third party program under the sun. In fact, someone made a thread naming literally all of the major plugins that lasted for weeks.

Moderation here often comes down to mass reporting, which will encourage witch hunting.

It's more than five pages, the forums only display at most 5 pages from your current page.
