Very quiet in here

From your point of view, posts with the most thanks are decent posts, but those that have very little thanks are not?

Well, that's not a great way to judge discussion, an echo chamber though? Yep, great way to judge it.

Just continue what you are doing please .👍

It's the continuing extreme bans without DRP or any form of appeal that is upsetting.

That was not was asked for in the original feedback threads . People were upset over reregs trolling , that was largely dealt with by the post count rule .

But somehow somewhere the feedback was morphed into a banning spree with no right to appeal .

There was a thread about it somewhere ..

It's the continuing extreme bans without DRP or any form of appeal that is upsetting.

There is lad in DRP currently waiting nearly 2 months.

Where another lad opened a DRP about CA and received 2 separate responses in a minute saying he couldn't appeal.

There is absolutely no interest in resolving disputes for various reasons , that's why they are either ignored or outright banned.

People just are not inclined to bother anymore.

I just want to agree wholeheartedly with your post @sydthebeat. I have never received a warning in 20 years on this site, but I would no longer be confident in posting in CA due to the inconsistent and incoherent moderation with no appeal. I would only post there by accident now, if following a thread from the homepage, but I read it every day. It's a shame when there is so much fair and reasonable moderation on the site that this issue has developed. It's the first time in 20 years I feel I could be at risk of getting a warning or ban.

I thought long and hard about posting this comment also, due to the restrictive rules in this forum and there already being visible warning on this thread that I do not understand, and the disdain for posters I feel on this forum of late. But I think if "ordinary" (for want of a better word) members are avoiding posting in sections of the site, then it's at least worth making that known.

I have never abused anyone like that . You don't have to say something so obvious .

The fact that you say that in a reply to me is either you being uncivil to me or a bad joke ?

As for the latter explaining reversing etc .. Yes it has worked in the past but not with the mod in question . .

I've gotten them myself, but not since the new rules were implemented.

Best case scenario would be a zero point warning but thats happened once under the new rules from memory.

I think it is reasonable to presume when a post is addressed to you as that one was that it is directed at you unless you say " not you " .

I accept your explanation .

I don't agree but have already answered why above .

I already posted it.

Ban dickheads. Ban them fast and ban them often.

That makes sense and thanks for the explanation.

Only slight change I would have made to that rule would be to have kept the previous thread ban in place though during the transition.

Also AH still needs to be addressed even a minimum10 post limit would help.
