Thread Title: Alter the system for dealing with complaints Minecraft Name: MJMgamer/MJMbeaver Suggestion: It'd be nice to see players get a chance to explain themselves for being banned. Yes you can file a ban appeal, but I feel it is different. When you're filing a ban appeal, you are requesting to be allowed to do something again. When given a day or two to explain your side of the story, you give the mods to see all views of the situation. Reason: It will help users dealing with complaints. Other Information: !5 minutes can in fact save you 15% on car insurance.
You get to provide your side on situations where it is relevant. Stuff like trolling... just don't troll.
-1 though. The complaint/ban appeal system is working well already. There's no need to change something that works well.
Ditto to this. The Moderating team has fair ways to ban and warn, and each of which is done in a methodical step pattern. Trust me, if you get warned or banned, it's generally for a reason, and a reason which you most likely know. Plus, as nicit said, you can explain yourself where relevant.
I'm happy with how complaints are handled currently. Where someone's input is required/may genuinely change the outcome of a complaint (eg. scamming and providing proof of payment) players are given the chance. Now I'm going to guess that you posting this wasn't a pure coincidence the day I banned you from the shoutbox from a complaint, but this tells me that you probably wouldn't have even taken the opportunity to reply seriously if you had it.. hey, I may be wrong on both. Regardless, I think the current process works well.
