banning,retirement or on holiday

[manny]

to the mods.
when you ban someone.what is the time frame.
ie.1 week 2 week a month?
can you just not ban someone for 24 hours,then reevaluate from then?
i got banned for a month for disrepecting Charles.For something i believed in.
i may have gone ott ,but at the end of the day ,were we fed bull****?
Lord Sid has just taken a vacation,for something he said.
is a week a bit extreme?
people are people we get a bit heated at times.
with regards

The time frame varies manny, and the formula is not something I could code in a computer algorithm.

Each case varies in circumstances, prior history, people involved and other intangibles.

Usually there is more to it than a single thing that someone said, and often there is more than is public.

ok how about this.
just a suggestion,
the mods feel a person has acted inappropriately.
then it is your choice to give them a vacation.
how about a 24 hour vacation.
then reassess the situation.

What you suggest manny is of course an option.

One of many.

What option we choose varies.

Just as the justice system in my country has a select group of people, called a jury, determine the final verdict in secluded discussion, so are the decisions of the moderators made.

I'm sorry if the particulars of your case or Lord Sidious's case or some other case don't make sense to you at this time.

it,s not just Lord Sid,it.s anybody.
we are not in a court of law ,but a alternative community.
that means to me that everybody has a open opninon.
now the thing that scares me is the quick fire button of putting someone on vacation,because it did not seem appropiate ,or someone disliked what someone mentioned.

so i got banned for a month?
was the jury wrong?
because i spoke at the time what i thought to be true!
i am still here ...Charles has gone....
whats that say.

peronally i think a week is too long.

Avalon has lost a many valued member.
please don,t lose anymore.

If we don't moderate, we lose other people, for different reasons.

I sense we're going in circles on this one manny, to little benefit of anyone.

I will be closing this thread in a few minutes.
