NS2BANS.COM (Explanation and Operation theory)
The community ban list was scrapped and re-written in favor of an approved and unapproved moderated list. The site is still undergoing many changes but the basic functions are in place to show off the concept.
How it works: Admins are established from the community (This is where you come in, I am looking to recruit the play testers to assist in the moderation of the list), users are able to submit steamID’s into the list and are required to include a video (and if they choose, a screen shot in ADDITION to the video) of a player doing what ever it is they wish to report.
What happens after I submit my video?
These submissions go into a holding place for the admins to review and decide if they agree with the submitter. Currently, it requires 3 admins to agree, or disagree to have any action taken. Once three admins agree, the steam ID is added to a formatted page where server operators can simply copy and paste the list directly into the ban file on the server. If three admins reject the submitted information, the listing is never added to the ban list, and is listed as “rejected” on the submitted ID’s list. A push / pull system is in place currently, 3 yes votes, with one no vote would still require another yes to override that no vote. In theory a stale mate could take place, where the admins are so divided that the push/pull system has resulted in neither a YES or a NO getting the required votes, in this case the banned ID would stay in "pending review" status.
Future plans
In the future the plan is to implement a LUA mod to automatically apply it the server with no action needed by the server admin other than subscribing to the mod.
As it stands, admins are confidential and the way they vote is confidential, keeping the system as honest as possible in hopes for the most pure list of banned ID’s possible.
We have some GREAT community members already working behind the scenes -
WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN TO ME!?!?!
The door is open, keep in mind how ever, that the house is only drywall, the paint has not been applied.. BUT being that the basic system is in place, WE WANT YOU!! Record players, make ban requests, MAKE OUR ADMINS DO SOME WORK!
Everything has to start somewhere, we need community support to make something like this work, so please help us make the community servers a better place!
Note:
We have done the for/against thread, if you would like to continue the discussion of PRO vs CON, please do so here http://forums.unknownworlds.com/discussion/125926/community-ban-list#latest
