That's because I have a way of doing things. I usually take quotes from different threads and put them all in Word document. Then, I take a whole day to write replies on the document. The same process is done when I make my own threads. When the time comes for posting, I just copy what I had written on Word and place it on the forums. Honestly, I didn't think an interval of 2-4 mins between posts would be much of an issue. Perhaps, I've missed that part somewhere in the forum rules (burst posting), and for that, I sincerely apologize. One thing about me is that when I make a mistake, I don't repeat it again.
Thanks for explaining the reason for the ban, btw. I respect your decision. If I get another chance, I promise to do better. I will continue to remain active on the forums. Peace.
I happened to take the time to check your posting schedule. Now I'm curious.
You copy the posts you want to reply to onto a Word document. Then you set aside some time to reply to all of them. Next, you go to the forum and paste all the replies you want to give. Did I understand correctly?
But if that's the case, explain something to me: if you say it might take you a day to respond, what guarantees that when you finally respond the topic won't have progressed and your answer will still be valid?
The forum is dynamic; in just a few minutes, dozens of posts can appear in a single topic. Your post, created 3 hours ago, may have become irrelevant a long time ago.
Another thing I noticed is that you open new topics, but you rarely reply to them. Do you usually follow the topics you open?
Note: I only analyzed the last 30 days, so I may have misunderstood everything. I apologize in advance. But I would like to better understand your dynamics, that's all.
buwaytress was marked as biased. The guy is a champion of men, for fuck sakes. If somebody says buwaytress is biased, I say that the biased one is the guy that's saying that - without even knowing the guy.
I just wanted to comment that @buwaytress is one of the nicest guys I know and strives to be fair to everyone. Even when he's wrong (because we all make mistakes), he's not afraid to admit it. Logically, he's human and we all have tastes, so we may appreciate some more than others. In any case, I've never seen him be unfair.
I've been following @arallmuus case from the outside, so I haven't formed an opinion on it yet. But at least he's doing what he's supposed to do correctly: appeal.
That's what the appeals section is for: to present arguments for the community to analyze and give their opinion. But appeals have to be well done; it's not enough to just say, "I think the ban was unfair, can you review it?" That's something @arallmuus didn't do; he was clear in his appeal and is taking the right steps. In my opinion, he's already an example to follow.
Unblocking a signature should be a quick process. No need to add drama out of thin air.
In addition to @icopress's suggestion, I would add that @nutildah could create a pre-ban team to conduct a cleaner analysis without using his own tools.
Ultimately, I think we all have to look at this new possibility of sigban as a new process, in which we are all learning.
Both @nutildah is learning to improve his analysis, and the entire community that cares is learning to deal with this and help in whatever way is needed, for the good of the forum.
Therefore, I think this process is in its early stages, and this is part of the growing pains.
We are all fine-tuning our analysis to gradually make it easier to analyze both the bans and the appeals.
I believe it's not necessary to attack and criticize everything and everyone, the system and those managing it. Instead, we should adopt a constructive attitude and help it grow, so that any mistakes can be minimized gradually.
Together, we can improve the forum. I believe it's possible.
