Bans and removalI understand that:
• any user can ban any other user (person to person)
• if a forum owner bans a user, that ban is effective forum-wide
• a forum owner can remove content from that forum.
Terms of useIn the
Terms of Use (
highlights) I see that Nabble is not responsible for reviewing
content, but that posting of inappropriate content may lead to deletion, or blocked access, or termination of an account.
Question/suggestionMight a spike/flurry of bans against a particular user trigger a review of that user's
account?
ConsiderationsA high sum of bans against a user,
over an extended period, may not indicate inappropriate content. Personal bans normally indicate differences of opinion or style.
Multiple bans
in a short space of time are a more likely indicator of inappropriate content.
Congratulations, and a comparisonToday I stumbled across
Disagreements + Groklaw = Deletion? and <
http://scofacts.org/groklaw.html>, both of which are old news — but they're news to me.
In comparison: as
Nabble users' content is preserved, within or without a forum, in all but the most exceptional circumstances: disagreements between Nabble users can not reach such an ugly conclusion.
The Nabble user-oriented approach to banning and removal, without raising volume in a forum, does seem to work very well. I'm not mistaken, Nabble presents in excess of 25 million messages; in that context, calls for moderation or deletion are extremely rare.
Well done!
