Proof some Ninjas bans are based on opinion, not CoC violations+We need an appeals process.

Do what you want with this info. I blurred out the username and avatar leaving only the Ninja badge so nobody can say this is "name shaming". My only question is this: if Bungie allows moderators and Ninjas to ban based off opinion alone, why isn't there an appeals process? Why can't we challenge a ban that's obviously based on opinion. Hell, why do we have the CoC at all if it's completely up for interpretation and you could be banned under the "Play Nice" clause for saying "Hi" if a ninja wants to? It makes no sense to have a set of rules if the moderators who are supposed to enforce said rules can just ban anyone they feel like banning without an actual rule violation. They can simply do like in the screenshot above and say "My opinion is above the rules and I ban as I please". Sadly most of you probably won't see this, because it will be taken down and me banned for questioning them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- There's a common misconception going around that should be cleared up. The OP of the post this screenshot was taken from wasn't planning a #Destiny raid. He, along with several other users, were seeing how many people would even be interested in participating in one and if planning one would even be worth the time and effort. You can't punish someone for something they haven't done yet, let alone something they haven't even planned. ———————————————————————— A lot of good points about the flaws of the moderation system being made. The most common one is they need to change the ban notification itself. As it stands now, you get the same notification for a ban as you do for a warning. It gives no indication of which it is, it gives in information on why you got the warning/ban, and if its a ban, you don't get any info on how long the ban will be. Another point is that the CoC isn't fully listed for the users. How the -blam!- do you expect us to fully follow a set of rules when the only people who ever actually see the full list of rules are mods? ———————————————————————— Lmao at everyone saying I got Recon demoted. For all you know he stepped down voluntarily. Stop being so salty just because your precious Offtopic's days are now numbered. #DestinyMasterRace has triumphed. -------------------------------------------------------------------- So I never got a ban notification yet I cannot post anymore. Seems like they're quietly trying to silence me. It won't work. We will expose them. All of them. This I'd just the beginning. Brace yourselves for what comes next. Our plan has just begun.

  • [i]*puts on an antic erection*[/i] To all the morons who are blaming this guy for getting some dumbass loser "demoted" from "ninja": 1) Get a life. You're just protecting a loser who had it coming to him 2) if he [i]was[/i] demoted, he only has himself to blame. If he was banning users inappropriately, I'm so -blam!-ing glad he was demoted. Some of these ninjas are power tripping little jerks who deserve a wake up call. 3) and this is the big one: GET A LIFE.

                  • Why the hell are you posting about an interaction between me and a ninja? I don't even know you. I've had like 2 conversations with you. And he did nothing wrong by banning my other accounts, it's his job to determine what posts violate code of conduct. End of story. You really need to take this down, its creepy. And stop PMing everyone here trying to get them on board with this. It's a 2 week ban, they don't care. When one of my real life friends feels he needs to text me and tell me I have a borderline stalker, it's time to stop.

                    • Neat post, but this is a forum. Ninjas are not supreme judges deciding the fate of men. Its really not that big of a deal.

                      • Who cares? Let's the ninja problems be ninja problems. I dream of a day were there is an all out ninja fight. I want ninjas banning ninjas, then ninjas band together and ban Deej, ninjas all commit Sepppuku, flood take over, flood burns this place to the ground, and then Gordon Bombay rises up from the ashes to become new supreme ninja.....then the cycle continues

                      • Everything is based on opinion. You can't view anything except through your own subjective perspective. And planning a raid could very much be considered against the rules from several perspectives.

                      • Why the -blam!- are people shitting on this guy? He's making a -blam!-ing post about an apparent issue for everyone that needs to be resolved immediately. I don't give a -blam!- if Recon was demoted. If he was going around banning people because they had a different opinion, then screw him! And, yeah, I get it. "Oh, he's just so funny and cool and wise and has an amazing beard herp derp"... And? I mean, he's not -blam!-ing banned, you can still talk to him. If he doesn't operate well while in power, then he shouldn't be in power. Simple? Simple. I also heard a few other Ninjas were demoted as well. Screw them too. Whatever stops wrongful banning. But seriously, OP made a good thread that phrases a current issue in a way that I could not think of being done any better.

                        • It's simple enough man. Don't violate the CoC and don't skate so close to the edge that your post can be questioned. Planning a crime (or in this case a violation) is just as bad as actually doing the thing. Legally they call it conspiracy to commit an act.

                          There are a ton of flaws in the moderation system. Not in the staff. Frankly I'm surprised as many of them have stayed as patient with the newer users as they have. Things like this are ridiculous., and frankly they should ban on the mere mention of stupid shit like this.
