blue wins, moderators must improve, baracuda out

I understand that the fresh moderation team needs to find its way around how to properly moderate here, so mistakes are made and that's fine.

However, I'm getting a bit tired of the trigger happy thread-closers, especially when the first bans *must* be discussed properly to find out if the correct course of action was taken or not and if the majority agrees with the action taken.

It's starting to look like moderator X gets tired of explaining things, so he closes a thread where a certain ban *should* be explained. Nothing in the now closed thread was out of line and an honest request for more info, and after *finally* giving full info you close it immediately. I think that's completely wrong.

If you guys keep this up, more ppl will leave.

..Moderator's job here isn't just organising of forum, but also prevention..

Bare with me please one more post, I actually think we might agree here.

One place (CSDb Discussions maybe?) free for debate leaves room to point to other then that modding should becoming easier, simply warn a person once, twice, threetimes.. still not taking your debate to the right place, a weeks ban.. come back try again -> bam.. banned for life.
If that had been in place you would (and will in the future) have been able to kick deliberate announces even far sooner, right?

Its just an idea that I think would clean up a lot. I am sorry I didnt understand the general opinion sooner about trolling. Actually it was Nightlords post made me realize that the Ignore button is indeed totally useless! I do not need it, but I now understand why all the complaints at least better then before, so this is a very important change to my opinion actually!

Well, all I can say is that the system of separate discussion area really does work. You just need to look at our bbs history. Not only mods but also annoyed regular members will point people in that direction if (!) there is such a place to point to. Then come to think of it, no need to move anything there..

1. Clearly appoint a 'free' debate area
2. Write it into the rules
3. Warning 1, Warning 2, Warning 3
4. Kick or Kick-ban

Seems simple, much easier and yet fair to me, how about you?

@Oswald
Nearly done dude, sorry for annoying you, but please take into consideration that I too want a cleaner database otherwise I wouldnt take the time to offer ideas as well as complaints.
