Ask a Moderator like SB did. He asked a channel moderator

I don't think there is a set period. It does not get automatically lifted. When a member is banned, its at the discretion of the GM and she is the one who decides on the time period. Many times after couple weeks, the member apologizes and agrees to follow the rules. After that the GM decides if the ban has to be lifted. Before she lifts the ban, she does PM the mods of the concerned section and she does take into consideration what the mods have to say abt the unban. Its only after that she lifts the ban.

In case of self-ban, its the members choice. Members get a self ban and I have got requests after 3 days for an unban.

Many times they take longer breaks for exams, personal reasons. When they are ready to come back they either make a new ID to get in touch with us or they ask a friend to convey the message to us. Once we get the request we forword that to the GM and she immediately lifts the ban.

Then there's no point calling anything a "temporary ban". It's just a ban until Bhai...err the GM says otherwise. I thought it was like some other forums I've been where it is possible to issue bans for specific periods for offenses that aren't big enough for permanent ban (sometimes it happens automatically when your WL reaches a certain point and the system bans you for N weeks or whatever).

For self-bans they should just add a self-ban option in the Dashboard and let members use it as they like (the unbanning would be done by email like I mentioned earlier). This would take some load off your shoulders.

Didn't notice this earlier. Nope, it's not that bad. I think that happens more when the section is divided into a few gangs.
Both this section and FF get it's share of reports but not that many as you mentioned. The highest number of reports that I have seen is in DM against your post in the Islam thread. Every five minutes there were like 20-30 reports made, all targeted against that single post of yours, all having the same wording. It reminded me of the great Indian political rallies where they bring in truckload of supporters promising them free biriyani and a tour of the city.

And Ajnu complains that I don't create enough controversies. She should have been there defending my ass on that one. It is a pity some people will never engage in discussion, but are quick to report without even trying to figure what is being said in the debate.

My plethora of reports on DM was when Gauri and POH called Mahabharata/Ramayana novels in POH's God paradox thread. We had a lot of Ramayana immigrants reporting and PM GM. Thankfully, LalithaJanaki was not hostile and we were able to sort out everything via PMs.

I have said this to you in the past too. You shld join the technical team of I-F. 😆

You do have some good ideas. I wish there was a place here to post all these technical suggestions. The suggestions/comment section they have is very general.

How about you folks ditch Vijay and put Kal-El, me and SB as admins of IF. We'll clean it all up.
