Admin Feedback Thread (Archived)

[Timmy]

And to answer your question, this is an Admin feedback thread, which also includes the Moderators considering that they are part of the staff, but I certainly wont mind if people that have an opinion post here, especially if said people have knowledge on how the system works or want to give constructive criticism.

Fair enough, I was not against it, I just wanted to be sure that I speak with people that admins authorised to speak for them. However I do wish that posts like Jayce and Doria did were... either excluded or more useful to the case.

Im not sure, but on the one side you complain that sanctions take too long to process, while on the other side you want to make the process even bigger by collecting more input, which will definitely take even more time. It sometimes takes a week or more to contact some people if evidence is missing in their sanction, good luck if you need their input and expect things to be fast.
Having only one person deciding on sanctions is not going to do the sanctioned person any favor, believe me when I tell you that you would not like the results. The way its working now is to offer the community a certain kind of quality control in decision making, if you had only one person making the decisions you would have more mistakes in sanctions because its sometimes just hard to see the whole picture, while on the other hand, you would be subject to the opinion of one person. While we do have standardized punishments for most cases, they still come with a certain degree of variation in harshness, so if I consider a violation to be a very bad one, I will give you for the highest punishment possible, while another Admin might think that its not really a problem and might just warn you. Having multiple people discuss this, helps to find a consensus.

As for this... I have several things to adress.

1) I've never been contacted by admin in my life (disco life) when I posted a sanction report. Nor have they ever been implemented. Probably changed, but still, that broken any wish to bother with these.

2) I don't quite understand how more people asking for missing evidences would make asked person login more often. Also, asking those people is quite easy - send PM. Dellay after that is not a fault of admin. Appologies if I didn't get what you mean, will be grateful if you explain in more details.

3) About punishment I have to completely disagree, because that should be standartized for ALL admins. That simply can not be a personal wish of admin. Punishments should be predetermined for any possible violation and issued as they are, without changes. I know it's a tricky thing, but it's not an unworkable thing.

4) I see a flaw in including several people into one sanction in attempt to make it perfect, as you are not quite reaching the goal all the time. I dunno how many people are working out sanctions, but if there's 3 or more, I believe sharing the cases between those would speed up the proces regardless. As for quality... It probably would be lower, but considering that you don't require perfect quality always, and you do leave a chance for mistake by allowing sanctioned person to request a review... I believe that's more fair and easy way to work it out.
