for this.
Sure, sounds adequate!
The trophy could also be actively claimed once the requirements are met, instead of automatically given (that's the case in the forum I used as example). So we'd prevent inactive users from being rewarded. The same dynamic of having to require the donation badge.
This is why I'm against shit like this. Someone is bound to get a warning over dumb shit, and instead of being able to move past it now we'll have people labeled troublemakers. It's bad for cohesion
Prolly not at the moment, but once your warns are expired the required time to claim the trophy starts to count.
You're always free to contest a received warning directly to a mod. I for myself think this has nothing to do with labeling folks, or you could say the same of the reader mode badge.
As long as certain people don't upset me, then I'll be fine. And I trust the mods to put them in their place.
Reader mode is just a fun way to say someone is banned, and as much as I like the mods there is always the chance of one going apeshit and banning/warning people on whims instead of rules. I'm very much against this, and I haven't gotten any warnings.
I know that they can't ban people that I or the rest of RGT don't like, but rules are rules.
Being banned and being reader moded are one and the same.
Then downvote the suggestion. As for being against of potentially getting warned, you'd like to complain directly to a mod. Remember that noone is straightforward put into reader mode, we have a 3-strike warn rule other than the very rare cases of blatantly disrespect of the rules.
I'm kind of inclined to agree.
I already did downvote it. I wanted to explain to others why they should too.
That's a good point, actually.
In an ideal environment, we wouldn't have to reward for expected behavior. But this is harmless from my perspective, once we already have a system to address expected/unexpected behavior enabled by positive punishment (warning/putting in reader mode) and negative reinforcement (expiring warns).
Harmless? Instead of people bitching for a week about not being able to write in general, we will hear them bitching for a year about not getting a sticker.
Then they would soon receive a fair warn for spamming the forum, instead of complaining directly to a mod.
Why add more beauracracy? Why complicate a simple matter?
I get your point, though I disagree.
There's no bureaucracy at all, just the current flow of moderating a forum. We're just acknowledging the ones who are able to moderate themselves.
