A moderator recently announced a change to the forum rules re: suspensions. The change is described thus:
Question:
We have changed the suspension time when a user's active point total reaches 10 to a 3-day suspension from a 2-day suspension. This is a very minor change that won't affect the overwhelming majority of users.
Question:
- Insofar as the moderation team believes the change affects so few folks, why have you opted to enact it?
- It seems odd and rather "single-outish" specifically vengeful to increase the scope of a penalty that affects "overwhelmingly" nobody. If there be but a handful of egregious offenders, can you not dole to them, on an exception basis, more stringent penalties?
