Welcome back, Omnivorous!
First, I'd like to emphasize that
personal attacks on other posts, especially done in a premeditated fashion, is not something that is going to be treated lightly.
Second, I'd like to make sure everybody understands that
those who know better (as well as those who should know better) will always be judged more harshly than those who are less experienced and do not know better.
Now, with that said, watching quality poster after quality poster get suspended is not what we want to see here. The admins as a group have seen that interaction with some posters has consistently been difficult and has consistently led to behavior resulting in suspensions, and we find this to be a real problem.
While reviewing Omnivorous' suspension as a group, we took the time to discuss practical ways to deal with this other problem as well. We looked at solutions which can be implemented in the short-term (i.e. require no software updates), and we also looked at general board features for the future which can
help avoid (emphasizing help) this type of recurring issue.
I believe Percy will be moving forward on this in the very near future. In the meantime, I wanted to make sure those who expressed concern about the underlying roots of Omnivorous' behavior know that the moderators share your concern, and we're actively working on it. I'll leave it up to Percy to provide details and implementations as his time permits.
As always, please follow the appropriate links below to express your concerns. And once again, a hearty "welcome back" to Omnivorous.
