Yeah it looks like the meeting went as I thought it would. It was doomed to failure before they started and I told Ewok that.

My mole inside tells me that William33 showed up long enough to remind everyone that he's still a mod, shut the room up for no apparent reason and then left, not to reappear for another 6 months.

Minute by minute coverage on the upcoming VJ Mod summit later today. Exclusive coverage, by which I mean a lot of people with no inside information throwing out wild guesses on what they think will/s

And we working with him to get him to moderate himself and he was improving a lot. He started to do well. No this is a travesty.

Actually, it was doomed to failure the moment Kip racked up multiple violations within hours of his return. We were willing to give him a chance but he proved he couldn't post responsibly.

We will publicly post a few items tomorrow in the Site Discussion forum and once other actions are closed, we will amend our 'mod' example thread and other areas to increase visibility for everyone on how things are run.

Has this summary been posted? If so, it's very well hidden...

Takes time to do anything but mod actions. Strangely or not we were told he exact mod that would ban him the 1st chance they got and they were right.

We already unbanned a member and reached out to them. We are discussing a general amnesty policy and will publish the rules on that once we have it drafted.

It's been 26 hours since our mod meeting was over. We have a VERY detailed minutes report of the meeting -- which is of course only internally posted. I'm currently in Asia and not in the US so today is actually the 'next day' for me. Yesterday AM was the mod meeting. I'll post a general summary later today on this forum and then more details as we craft them on our side. I think rushing actual fixes out within 24 hours would be hasty.

@UncleBeer, were no bannings as the result of our meeting. Quite the opposite.

I am an Ewok. I am here to to keep the peace. Please contact me if you have a problem with the site or a complaint regarding a violation of the Terms of Service. For the fastest response please use the 'Contact Us' page to contact me.

Glad to help clarify. There is no revolving door (with no exit) for bans :P.

OK. I thought I'd read that someone had been allowed back, but then immediately re-banned.

I do hope some sort of active oversight was considered.

A better way to put it is a banned member was allowed to return but was not able to change the behavior that led to the ban in the first place.

I give Kip credit for trying and also for a very entertaining series of posts, but if you have to have several posts removed on your first day back, the writing is on the wall.
