Forum:Banned Users

__NEWSECTIONLINK__ Forums: Index &rarr; Administration &rarr; Hello fellow admins! I wanted to being up a few issues that I can't stop scratching my head about :P It is mostly regarding a few banned users and what we should do with them. I'll divide this topic into 3 sections to make the discussion easier to follow.

So I just wanted to make it clear that we are all "alright" with this user being banned. My question is: Should we lower the ban, leave the ban, or higher the ban? If you think we should do one of these, then simply place a:  or  and state your reasoning.

I know you all might be in shock that I decided this, but I think his ban was a little too long. I mean yes he fought with another user, but we all do and 6 months is a long time in my opinion. I would propose reducing it about 1-3 months. If all he did was have a fight with a user, I think we should have some justice here.

I believe we have talked about this before, but since we are talking about banned users, why not talk about it again? I think that this user is very useful to our community and should have his ban lowered. I mean he technically didn't do anything. He was told something and just didn't speak about it with us, which was wrong. But banning him for that long was not needed in my opinion and again I ask to leave reason with a vote.

Discussion
For my reasons stated above and because he is friendly. I think we should remove the ban and disable him from being granted user rights (at least for a year).

I know this is a tough topic, but it has to be done. I have read everything about his sockpuppetry and what not, so I know what his situation was. I think that we should leave him as banned, but I don't think his userpage and talk page should be deleted. I mean I have never heard of a practice where you delete someone's userpage just because they are perma-banned. I mean if his was deleted, then why wasn't this one deleted? I also have considered recommending reducing the ban to 2 years. It's not like he will be back then anyway, in my opinion.

Discussion
For reasons sated above.
