Public thread where only mods can post.
The only posts there should be in the thread are the proof of the reason why someone is getting banned, how long they are going to be banned for, etc
also, in a lesser degree, but it would be cool to know publicly the reasoning to other things, like why was bdog demodded, and why merlot modded when me and a majority of other users i talked to, agreed there were better options (nothing personal against merlot, i just dont think she was the best option)
This is my standpoint on the issue... as far as transparency goes, a temporary ban does not call for any form of transparency to the community (now if you want to come privately and ask why that is another story) Only the person handing out the ban and the person recieving the ban are the ones who should know the background information on why that person was banned. Now we can argue what temporary means in this case (over a day? Maybe two?) We have been open on why threads have been locked, we were open on bdog's demodding, any permanent lobby bans have been for site banned users. Asking for complete transparency where we disclose the background of every 1 or so hour ban we do is exploitation, and that to me is unprofessional as well as unnecessary.
