how many warning points do you have?


Low Levelled

Recommended Posts

In lieu of no response, I suppose I'll keep my follow up as short as I can (I'm going to write a book). Being in any staff position on this site is a serious time commitment. Also, keeping our work honest is the only way to honor all the time, effort, and passion that has gone into making this site what it is. If we wanted to bully people, there are easier ways to do that then taking on what is essentially a part time job (minus the part where you get paid), and without destroying the legacy of everyone that came before us.

 

Being more transparent, as we see it, means that we would open ourselves up to privacy issues, and having our rulings governed by the court of public opinion, rather than the actual rules and guidelines we operate under.

 

By giving the warnings in a one on one situation, we create the best possible environment to reasonably discuss any questions or concerns. Sometimes people don't understand how they broke the rules. Sometimes we misinterpret what was said and give a warning or ban in error. We need an environment where people can be calm and civil to work all this out, which means not having random by standers chip in with their opinions.

 

Equally as important, the court of public opinion is extremely unfair. Either we would be at the mercy of the whims of whoever could shout the loudest, or we lose any ability to be flexible, to deal with circumstances (such as trolls) or unforeseen situations. We certainly do limit our own flexibility, to ensure that we are being fair, and can't push things too far, but at the same time we keep a little bit of wiggle room. There is already enough paper work that goes into giving someone a warning without needing to add pages long justifications for any deviation from the Standard Operating Procedure. The SOP exists to keep us in line, and prevent power abuse and limit any unfairness, but at the same time it is not a ridged set of rules.

 

The ideal here really is that for the people who follow the rules, our efforts are entirely invisible. They know we exist because we have public ranks identifying us, but it's not something we want our users to need to be concerned with if they don't have to be (so unless they break the rules).

 

 

Anyway, that's about as sweet as I can make it. As promised, here is the questionnaire as well that was done a while back if anyone here is interested. Send it to myself or Tripsis. While I wouldn't take this as a blank check to break the rules in your response (so, it would be helpful if you didn't include lude pictures or a string of racial epithets), we have no interest in taking retribution against people who don't agree with us. This is how we learn and improve.

Copied from this thread:

The Tip.it administration is pleased to present the first ever general survey, a chance for all our users to provide us with feedback about how you use the forums and our site, as well as feedback on our staff and policies, in an effort to see how we can improve ourselves to better suit the needs and wants of our users. We are looking for feedback from all our users, whether you are new to the site or a veteran, whether you have a clean record or a rap sheet as long as you are tall.

 

When filling out the survey, please be as honest as you like, don't worry about hurting our feelings. You are welcome to mention specific Staff members or events if you feel it it would be helpful to us, including naming administrators. We want to know how you truly feel, even if you have negative thoughts, as this is the best way for us to self improve.

 

Only administrators will ever know what your answers are, and your name will be kept 100% confidential. Information relevant to specific staff groups will be shared with that group in the following manner:

 

After we have received and reviewed the results of the survey, the administrators will compile a summary of of the replies detailing areas where you think we need to improve, as well as areas you think we are handling well. We may use bits and pieces of peoples responses in our summaries, but no names or identifying information will be included. It is these summaries that will be presented to the relevant areas of our staff.

 

Please PM completed surveys to @Randox or @tripsis.

 

Let the Survey begin!

This is an official Goon warning. Further infractions will result in a Goon ban.

If you win three of these, you can trade up to a tier 2 prize.

Correction: The Dr. Pepper can has .25 ounces in it, due to the last winner being a whiny little [bleep]. The .25 ounces is iced tea without ice, though.

I'll scrub until the damn thing comes off

Goon warnings for all. I do not appreciate you pushing the envelope like this, and if you keep it up, you will be Goon banned.

Is there an appeal process? I don't mind my TIF warnings, but I really really don't want to be goon banned.

When you read the fine print, you'll see that Goon bans are non-transferable. But if you happen to collect 4 authentic* tier 2 prizes, you can trade up to a tier 3 prize.

So what's a tier 3 prize?
