A brief assessment of our infraction system

Posted on Discord in #rules-and-info:

---

🛡️ Infraction policy

• Breaking the rules may result in an infraction.
• When a strike or warning expires, all infractions are removed.
• Infractions stack. If you had a Warning, you now have Strike 1, and so on.
• Bypassing the infraction system or violating a rule shortly after joining will result in a ban.
• Certain offenses can be pardoned or made more severe, at an Admin's discretion.

---

• Warning - Lasts 2 weeks
• Strike 1: 7 day mute, 21 day strike
• Strike 2: 21 day mute, 63 day strike
• Strike 3: 63 day mute, 189 day strike
• Strike 4: 189 day mute, 567 day strike

We don't ban, except to combat bots and geniune malice, which usually manifest under specific conditions:

1. A member breaks the rules immediately upon joining.
2. A member purposely circumnavigates the infraction system.

Ban context

Gauging from public chat messages, getting banned was seemingly the goal.

However, this member has a short established presense in the community, so the only ban-worthy thing they could have done was circumventing the infraction system, which they did.

We used the infraction system as normal. A warning was issued, then strikes were issued, and the member circumvented the infractions by leaving and rejoining, which led to a ban.

Problem

As per the improvements in #7, this member's ban needs to be re-evaluated.

Can this member be unbanned?

Yes. This member has been banned for much longer than the duration of their original mute/strike. If we had the tooling to auto-track the ban side of our infraction system, it would have long expired by now.
