I noticed that many ex-Admins are voting in whether or not an appealer should be unbanned, and current Admins are accepting or declining the appeals, solely based on what the ex-Admin wished. This brings up the question of– why? They’re ex-Admins; it’s not within their role or power to be the decision maker in appeals anymore. Leave that up to the current Admins of the server to decide. Current Admins are capable of making that decision on their own with the aid of SourceBans. Ex-Admins, along with other community members, may provide background information, suggestions and other useful insights on appeals; however, they must refrain from voting.
The current forum rule regarding staff voting is as follows:
“Only staff can vote on the admin applications. You may choose to say something if you wish so, long as you have an useful insight with the player applying, but you're not allowed to vote.”
I believe this rule ought to be implemented on ban appeals as well. Only current Admins may have the final say if an appeal should be accepted or declined.
If this suggestion is accepted, I would recommend the current rule to be changed to:
“Only staff members may vote on admin applications and ban appeals. If you wish, you may choose to say something, as long as it provides useful insight. If your comment is deemed unnecessary, irrelevant or violates said rule, a staff may edit or delete it.”
Thoughts, suggestions?
