Regardless of whether it did or not in Tachi's specific case is irrelivant, as it's still a valid concern for the forum as a whole.

Ok... But how do you know it is a valid concern?  If it isn't happening then it isn't a concern.  If you know it is, then tell a mod.  Either way, allowing other users to see reports is a bad idea no matter which way you look at it...  

Yep. I want the report listing but I know where I stand. Therefore I want what is best for the community.

Yes. Unfortunately not everyone has 'iron testicles.'

I think that someone reported Tachikoma and Aura7541 because they used cussing in their posts but they could be moderated easily for those posts.

Tachikoma's

Aura7541's

This one wasn't moderated but the same thing was basically said but with no cussing.

Haha too true m8

I've been banned for many silly things, but never for saying "fucking" (and I'm sure I've said it before).

I'm sure someone reported them for that reason in spite of what was written in the report. All 3 said the same thing basically and only one wasn't banned even though all 3 could be moderated for their posts.

Well there goes my post-Avengers afterglow. *shakes fist*

But first, can we do a time out on this whole report witch hunt thing?

This conspiracy that folks are ganging up on Tachi by reporting her is just completely unfounded and very much untrue (Take my word for it, or think that I'm part of the conspiracy cover up). The only person that has been spamming reports recently was Materia-Blade, and that's because that's what Zero does.

Anonymous-to-the-public reports is how we function, and to have their names be plastered on every ban would not be beneficial to the method. I can only see it making enemies out of users who have been involved in a ban, and forge wedges between members (Of course you would take that position, you're the one who reported me after all).

The mod team doesn't take much account into who issued the report, and even the message on the report isn't a nail in the coffin (the vast majority of them are simple and to the point anyways, as was this particular report: "Insulting an entire country" That was it. Not even a hint of bribery.) The words on the report is where a regular user ends their role in the moderation process. It's the mod team that then takes over and issues whether the post is worthy of moderation or not.

So please, the reporting is not the issue here. Axum thought the post was worthy of a day off and he issued it. Later on he thought against it and rescinded his ban. I will say that this has pointed out an issue that I do think needs solving: the moderator-moderated user relationship is too convoluted in its current system. To talk about a ban, the moderated-user needs to go to lengths to create an alt just to talk with the mod who issued a moderation. Therefore conversation is hard to come by and that can lead to a confusion, distrust, and anger. We need to have better ways to communicate. We'll work on that.

With that said, I hope that this answers some questions and puts some issues to rest.

I have a great feeling that tomorrow is going to be a great day! :T

Possibly another issue is that there is no way for someone to obtain a post they were creating before they were redirected to the ban-page. Maybe that can be kept in mind during the development of a revamped forum?
