Board Thread:News on Criminal Case Wiki/@comment-11738-20150815192547

I've been thinking about this feature for a long time. Some users don't learn how to behave, while others are willing to behave after being banned indefinitely for something they did wrong in the past.

From this point on, no one shall be banned from this Wiki for more than 1 year, and if a permaban is in the table, then the staff needs to bring the discussion to the offending user at Wikia Community Central and ask the user why they broke the rules. In order to be more fair, we will start holding hearings for each user who are at risk to being permabanned or Wikia-network banned if the offenses are severe enough for a permaban. We will not permaban any normal user who breaks rules wantonly unless we hold hearings at the Wikia Community Central. The only time a permaban will take place is if the person broke Wikia Terms of Use (i.e. sexual preference insults). We will only permaban after the user is found guilty of breaking the rules on purpose at the Community Central discussion at their message wall.

So to put it simple, permabans will no longer be given unless a hearing at the offender's message wall at Community Central is held, and enough evidence is given to come to a verdict.

Thank you.
