cB performance Options

[Tung]

Should we have a pinned topic thread like Moderator Performance, where we just discuss the current state of cB and what we can do as a community to improve it?

I don't want to seem condescending, but I honestly feel like you've been rather cryptic with all of this. I don't think you've been very clear with just what we aren't doing that we're capable of doing. But just because I'd like to, I'll take a stab at it, here I go!

I do agree with you on the punishment issue - the first punishment for something is perhaps smaller, but if the "offense" is repeated, we should then tighten it up and make it more severe, not issue the SAME punishment. I don't know if specifically we've been seen doing that lately, but now that you've brought it up I think we should all be more than willing to watch what we're doing in that regard.

As far as the bans go, I like the current warning system, and we ARE tightening up on the way we deal out punishments in a lot of different ways. I think that in a lot of situations a ban is too severe and just a warning will suffice. If a person receives two warnings, they are no longer an official member, and to some people that's a rough enough punishment in itself! When appropriate, bans WILL be used; I just don't think it's necessarily to limit ourselves to JUST issuing bans. The point is to make the community a better place to post, not to piss people off.

Last thing. I respect you and realize that you have a lot of helpful things to say, but I really have to say that I disagree with you in a big way on the statement about how problems related to CB fall back on and reflect the staff's overall performance. I think the staff and the community play equal parts in keeping a community going. That's not to say that moderators shouldn't take on a higher responsibility for the "health" of the community, because we should. I just don't believe that during times when CB is inactive or "boring", it means that the staff is doing a bad job.

EH ALSO (I know I said that was the last thing) we WILL be making it a point to close old topics that were bumped and are dated/have no chance for further conversation.
