I like the idea of having a "you have been banned, now what" page.
It's true that most of the information is already accessible, but the discussion shows that it's clearly not as well-known as it needs to be.
Currently, when you try to log in you see your ban duration and the reason for the ban. It's not immediately obvious how to proceed from there. If we link to a dedicated page we can compile all relevant information there. This should give people a clear path what their options for actions are now and should increase the trust that the system is well thought-out and working.
Information on that page should include:
link to rule page
link to explanation of the appeal process
explain that appealing can still make sense even if the ban is very short, because your moderation history is taken into account in future reports
explain that if people think there is an issue with the process, even after appealing, they can contact Giebmasse as the team lead or the board.
explain why individual decisions should not be discussed in public and clarify that discussing rules in general and proposing changes is still possible in public, preferably the forum.
@Nuggets said in Proposal: Establishment of an Oversight and Review Committee to Support Fair Moderation and Governance:
To put it in clearer words: We, at least the people I know / interact with, feel like there is a huge lack of understanding as to how our "high" rated games go. I'm not trying to be elitist here, its just that (what we feel like) context is ignored or not understood.
It makes sense to me that the moderation team does not completely revert decisions if they correctly apply the existing rules. It seems that part of this problem is that maybe the rules are not suitable for some high rated games, or maybe these people would like to have different rules? In this case it makes the most sense to have a discussion about these rules.
