(i think deputies should be just as well if not better protected than babblers when they are acting in the capacity of their deputy roles)> > If they keep getting REPEATED 1 day exclusions, then they will be asked to leave for a week. If its ONGOING, then goes to a month. Thats seems to be the cap.
**THAT SEEMS TO BE THE CAP
(Heeeeellllllllooooooo, same old, same old, I beleive you block for too long at times, and shouldn't just automatically escalate. I understand you are trying to be fair, but lifes not rational or fair. And if you have accidentally let unfairness slip into a descicion you have made....haven't you gathered yet that you WILL hear about it??????? This is where you can say OK, lets just call it, block over....see below..)> > and the preacher might choose to shorten the block in certain situations.
> > So we block for safety reasons.
> > We don't block cuz someones feelings have been hurt, or there has been a mild argument without major yelling.**ALL OF THE ABOVE SECTION
(I am contemplating that one below...and I can agree that blocks are definately improving on the whole...but mebbe its just me that doesn't understand some of them, and hence I become frightened. I seem to not understand alot of stuff for some reason)
> Thanks for explaining in more detail. It sounds like a good system. And similar in general to the system here: not following the rules leads to blocks, repeated short blocks**do you get multiple short blocks first?
>lead to long blocks, blocks are capped,
**are they? It must be a very long time :(
>even people who are blocked can talk to the administration,
**Thats hard too, but unfixable, who ARE you? :( Again, proly just my own damn stuff.
>being too lenient isn't good, most people are able to follow the rules, and the administration doesn't want to make people feel worse.
**BOB, here's an outright plain question for you...WHY don't you want to make them feel worse?**
Don't worry,no right answer. I dunno what it is I looking for. But mebbe you could give it a shot...
>
> Bob**Similiar in a surface way of course, but different in SO many ways. And where I am the situation is much less physically safe and maybe thats WHY there is more control,in some ways, cuz violence is a reality there and in those peoples lives, everyday....
Maybe we at babble need to work harder at control for the very reason its seemingly 'safe' here to blow a gasket...
Up to a point of course....
Block.
Sorry I am so damn stupid.
God I wish my brain worked better.
I wish I could understand stuff better. Its like its there in my head somewhere, stuff, stuff that would make me not so dumb. But I can't get to it.
