Peanut Gallery Commentary on the Staff Log of Bannings and such like.

[Jackalope]

John, are you privy to the warnings that have been issued?  Is it that we haven't banned him what's sticking in your craw?

You do also understand, don't you, that we act based on what's reported, not every fucking post that someone makes?   Haven you reported any of the issues in question recently?  (I happen to know that the answer is no.)  If you haven't reported it, how the fuck can you reasonably complain that we haven't done anything about it?  How would you even know?

Key word is "recently." I've reported in the past and been shot down, so as a rational person o don't report anymore. If you've done something about it, that's great. Keep it up. But since as you note I don't know what you do, I'm going to assume that the patterns I've seen over a couple of years are continuing unitl there's evidence otherwise.

We don't make public the results of reports, but I can tell you that he's been warned recently for that *exact behavior* and if it continues in the future, then it will be escalated.

Frankly, John, you've got little room to complain about posts we don't act on if you don't report them.

Again, I was told that in the past, I reported, and the votes weren't there, as you put it. I'm not going to bang my head against the wall with continued reports, particularly as you guys use that as a weapon, and then ban the person for reporting too many posts.

We do that only when they *flood* us with reports, usually when they're upset that something didn't go their way.

As far as not taking action on your prior reports - we don't take action on the majority of reports we receive, no matter who it is, because they're not actionable.  We're happy to explain why we don't take action on a particular report.
