I was looking at the group moderation abilities the other day and came across something that I feel should be changed to help benefit the "Temporary Blacklisting" permission. The description says, "Blacklist forum posters for short periods of time." However, with only that permission enabled you are allowed to "unleash ninjas" for 7 days, but cannot "unleash ninjas" for 3 days.

Changing this permission to allow 3 day and 7 day bans would help improve group moderation and give group forum ninjas more options. For instance, when the group founder or administrator is not present and only representatives that have this permission are trying to run a group, problems begin to arise due to the limitations of disciplining members.

There are no warnings, unless you were to manually PM the user and notify them of their wrong doing. So overall, I don't see a specific reason as to why persons with only "Temporary Blacklisting" are restricted to giving 7 day suspensions. It would be very much appreciated if this permission could possibly be changed to enable further leneniency. I am very open to feedback and would like to hear opinions from the community as well, if they are willing to share. Thank you for your consideration.

I didn't even realize that. Yeah, you think the same forums stuff would roll over for the group ninjas. Makes sense.

I'm sure that change wouldn't hurt anyone. =) Who knows, maybe Achronos has already thought of that and is planned to change it in his arsenal of overlord powers he will unleash "soon".

Yeah, he did say that, didn't he. We haven't seen nothing yet or something.
I love the waiting for new stuff part.
I can't even imagine what cool stuff they have in store for B.net next.

I like the idea. Not a real big change, but I think it could certainly help.

That would definately be a plus. It would also be nice to be able to send a message to multiple people at once instead of sending it to one person at a time.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

I very much agree with this CG.

EDIT: Yeah, 3 day bans for those who can now only give 7day bans.
Also, some sort of warning system would be awesome to have to.

Yes, I just repeated what you said CG. lol

Agreed. A one day ban for all mods would be useful too.

You can edit a blacklist to any period of time you like. Granted its not a simple Click here for 3-day blacklist or Click here for 7-day blacklist, but you still have the option to blacklist anyone from 5 minutes to a 100 years.

I am a Floodian

*2 thumbs up*
Can't complain about that idea. I have found that annoying during the rare occasions that I had to discipline someone in a group.

  • 01.23.2008 7:35 AM PDT

Maybe I have a different security role, but 3-day blacklistings are an option for me. If it matters, I used the "Unleash Ninjas" link under the user's name.

Linky.

Now that you've taken the time to look at my sig, I actually regret not providing you with something more worthwhile.

Groups need gigantic sticky piles of love and this is just one of the many changes I would like to see.

Gigantic. Sticky. Piles. Of. Love.
