Lifetime Ban on GS

Re: Lifetime Ban on GS

If I ever get banned, I don’t want it advertised on GS. The ban reasons are not discussed, only to keep the dignity of the banned member intact. Even though not posting the reason cost us our credibility, the proof of which is chacha ghalibs post who is thinking that I banned someone because I was having a bad day, and posters were only politely discussing something, I would never publicly post a reason.

Very recently, someone got banned because that person sent an intehai wahiyaat pm to another poster. The pm was so vulgar that it was embarrassing to be discussed even in the mod forum because we have so many female mods.

In other cases, someone gets a ban not because of one incident but a constant history of that person.

Point is that even if we become transparent, it would be impossible to share every reason with general members.

The banned member is being advertised with the word banned under their nick. However, the reason is not specified which gives their friends the impression that they are being banned because someone in the management has an axe to grind.

As for me thinking that you were having a bad day. There is no way to read that blog entry and your response and not come to the conclusion that you were just having a bad day. We had seen your behaviour as the director, which was exemplary, so it was a bit of a shock to see you lash out over something which wasn’t very offensive. On top of that, it was in the blogs which I thought were less moderated and more like echo chambers where like minded people re-enforce each other’s views. If a blog was offensive to people, they had the option of not going back in there.

I am saying this from an impartial POV because neither CM nor jaanwar were my pals and I hardly knew stoppit. This is a case in which we see the reason for the ban and it doesn’t sound that good. So, can you understand that for cases where it’s totally in the dark, people are skeptical?

If a member’s behaviour is so outrageous that it warrants a permanent ban, why can’t they be shamed?You don’t have to share every little detail but the jist of the offence.
