**UPDATE 15-03-2005**

- "Penalty-level" renamed to "Ban meter"
- The temp ban is working now, so be nice
- Time indication added when a banned member will return

In this thread I'll describe the new LSI penalty system. LSI has grown into an enormous community during the last couple of years. Thousands and thousands of users comminucate each day through the forum, chatroom and messenger system. Between all users who come to this site with good intentions there are always a those who come here just to get attention in a bad way, insulting others or try to mess up this site. LSI runs a hard policy on these group of people, misbehaviour results in a ban of the members account.

Untill today the banning is done by hand. But this method is outdated, for both the visitors and moderators a clearer system is required. And here it is, the penalty system.

Ok, what is it? Moderators can rate forum posts and chatroom messages for violations: rude language, spam, insults, etc. Each of these violations has a different weight. If a moderator rates your post on one or more of these categories, you'll get penalty points. When you get more points then the limit, you'll get a temporary ban. Each day the points become lower again and when the total is below the limit you can login again.

How much you're away from the limit is mentioned in the 'penalty level' on your profile. The level is expressed in a percentage how much you're away from a temporary ban.

NOTE: The actual ban is not enabled yet. So it is possilble your level is above 100% while you can still login. The ban part is still under construction.

There's a threshold to the penalty points. You go over that threshold, you're banned. How many penalty points you have determines the length of your ban. No less, no more than that.

so...only moderators can rate these posts?
does that include chat ops?

i'm still confused about this whole system. but, it sounds like it would reduce the amount of permanent bans?

oh ok so you can't get to a certain number and then your posting privledges away and if your posting privledge number goes down you start to post again you eventually get banned the next time you reach that mark?

Once you get over a certain number of points, you're banned. That's it. Then the number of points goes down each day, until you're unbanned. There's nothing more to it than that.

Arno, if anyone abuses the penalty system, report them to me and I'll fire them and remove all the penalty points given.

Unless it was me doing it.

The chatroom will be hooked up this same system soon. First thing to do is testing this system here on the forum.

Ok, so what will the % be you need to get banned for a couple of days? 100%? And how many points is that? 100?

And does it work with an average? If not, how fast does the number go down?

What are you going to do about favoritism? Mods should not be the only people allowed to rate posts/threads.

We're given a list of penalties we can give to any particular post. We pick the appropriate ones and that's it. The system does the rest on its own.
