From how I interperet it, it means there'll be some sort of algorithm that will be so many blocks for specific acrions you did or say will eventual lead to a ban, after so many times, but the question remains if the ban will be perm or it'll be a temp.
Let's just assume for a moment that a halfway decent algorithm is put into place where an automated system is put into place and is able to differentiate the "block" as legit or falsified. That's great, perhaps a self moderation system will actually work in that case. But i still have a few concerns as followed:
- Your question: Temp or perm?
- For those times when the algorithm fails and falsly bans someone, how is Raz going to handle the appeals? He's clearly not known for his communication.
- What about the forum? Nothing in moderation has been announced for the forum.
- Further more, what is the community decides that swearing is OK, even though in the rules, it's not. No one will block for profanity, How will Raz address that?
