I haven't been here for awhile, but I'm VERY crunched for time right now....The semester ends on the 8th and I'm behind on homework...it has nothing to do with anything that's gone on here lately, I just wanted you to know that...
There are times I may post a question about how you've dealt with something-why 1 person vs. another was blocked, PBC'd or whatever, but I'm not trying to give you a hard time..only trying to get a better understanding of how you perceive things.
I do think that if you laid it out better in the FAQ that maybe it wouldn't cause such an uproar at times. Put it into the FAQ about doubling the length of time a person is blocked after they've been blocked once (you may have done this already), etc. Add a section of what will get you blocked, PBC'd, how many before there's a block..it's really difficult sometimes, because it looks as if some people may 'get away' with some things, whereas others are PBC'd or blocked for what seems the same offense.
Make the FAQ more prominent...make it easier to access or whatever..letting people know about it...more than on the main pages. Perhaps add a thread to the top of the each of page.
Just tossing out ideas. I know your job is a difficult one, and one that takes a lot of time, I guess the main thing is that it seems inconsistent (sp?) sometimes and that makes people wonder what they can say and what they can't.
Thanks for posting the apology, it shows you don't think you're above it because it's your site...hope that makes sense. I do appreciate what you do here. More than likely I'd never have met the wonderful people that I now call friends.
Thanks-Kiddo
