We are our own moderators. We see content we don't like, we hide it, we see users we don't like, we mute them. If you mute a user, that user is basically banned from your feed unless you say so. If you don't like a thread, you can hide that thread and you won't see it again unless you so choose.
If enough people hide or mute something, someone (Employee I believe) will check it out, see if it's legit. Then an automated system will ban said person for their offense. If they are posting adult content, and enough people mute the user for it. The automated system may ban him for months, perhaps a perma-ban... depends on how severe it is.
But Ninjas have like next to no powers anymore.

so you can be banned for being a -blam!-, even though you dont break any rules?

Not exactly. If you're obviously trolling, flaming, etc. Yeah. But if you have an opinion that people don't agree with, and they mute you. And enough people mute you that it gets noticed, the human check will see if what you're doing is bannable. If it is bannable, like spamming, trolling, flaming, posting adult content, etc. He'll go ahead and let the automated system set your ban and ban you. But if it's not bannable, he or she will probably let it slide. I don't know how it works exactly, but there is a human check to make sure the system isn't abused.

Same as before, just it's strict. There are specific circumstances to determine bans and ban lengths now- so no more moderator interpretation. If something goes in the moderators' queue, or the moderator sees it, they check to see if it meets any of those specific standards. If so, they give it the ban they are told to give by those standards. The moderators can still ban, but it isn't up to them when anymore as the rules have become far less strict and the guidelines are set in stone.

Oh I see, so the Ninjas still have a purpose. -Enough people mute guy for posting adult content -Pops up in Moderator queue -Moderator checks to see if person was actually posting adult content -Moderator sees that he was -Moderator bans him -Automated system picks the ban length OR -Moderator sees that he wasn't -People trying to abuse the system to get an individual banned -Moderator does not ban user (Perhaps slate is wiped?)

Edited by Mishaya: 1/16/2013 9:18:56 AMYep, almost exactly.

Though to be honest, I don't think there is any 'automated system' dude. Sounds to me like Achronos just wrote down instructions. 'If they do X and it's their first time, ban this long. If they do Y and it's their first time, ban this long. If they do X and it's their second time, ban this long.' And they just ban for that length. Considering in groups ban lengths are still determined by the admin from a set of options..

The system IS automated and we are a human QA check/balance to make sure (just before the hammer falls) that the accused is truly committing the offense for which they are being hidden/muted/reported. The severity and duration of the ban is based on offense-type and is not a part of our function. No more claims of moderator abuse, bias, inconsistency, unfairness, favoritism, incompetence, error or malice. No more appeals either. Which will be nice, once people realize that I didn't set the ban, I can't remove it.

Ah. Far enough. Thanks for the info.

Really? Hmmmm.. I remember talking to Recon about it, I think he said automated.. if not automated, something that would take the Ninja's bias out of it, which I guess, a set of rules by Achronos would do.
