The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Holiday Forums are now up. Let me (Hahnsoo1) know if there are any issues. The Holiday Forum merge will last (if Vanilla cooperates) until January 3rd.

Can mods/deputies be granted the ability to put in a remark on why that person is jailed? Just a brief yiddly-biddly is ok, right next to the name of the person who jailed and the time of jailing.
I think that would do wonders for the system. Props to alpha if it is already on the "Top 50 things I need to code" list.

Anyways, I was saying this was a good idea since it helps the jailed person figure out why they were jaield without making a bunch of "omgwtf am I jailed for??" posts/PMs and other people can know if they are trustable or not.
Ex: Jailed person gives advice in H/A forum. Is it for real advice or just trolling? One who doesn't know the answer to the question wouldn't know. But they might get a better idea of the person's credibility if they knew that person was jailed for bad advice or trolling.
Like...a history of all the times they've been jailed/temp-banned and a reason why in another page in their profile?
Exactly.
That. . .doesn't exist already does it? :oops:
I have an idea, but it requires a lot of work (as do all my ideas) so for now the answer is no. Once I finish my syndication and permissions rewrite, then I will look at redoing jail.
No...but there is the "Announcing who is Banned" thread...
But that takes a bit to look through and doesn't always have jailings in there, unless they were done by a mod.
I will get something done, but it will require me to add stuff to the database, and that takes effort.
Can you have a 'Who I Jailed' thread here then? I would just like to have some idea of why a person is jailed.
There wouldn't be a way for it to stay clean though...Deputies can't post in locked threads, so it'd have to be unlocked...
And you know what kinda trouble that would bring...
Giving mod lite abilities to the deputy group would allow them to post in their thread. They already have a lot of trust on them with the jail power, so I think that allowing them to post in a locked thread here wouldn't cause much of a rukus.
Ahh yes. :^: Tricky...
Now, I think a mod/deputy should pm a regular user if they have jailed them or at the very least explain why they did it in the problematic thread. Anymore than that seems excessive.
It says in their profile who they were jailed by so if they miss that they can always PM whoever jailed them.
CUZ THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE AND IT'S GIVING ME A RASH
I think a Mod/Deputy only viewable/editable region is better, as it would allow a keeping of historical information.

See, I think that'd be overdoing it again. Everyone knows who the repeat offenders are, and a little inter-mod communication makes that tool kind of obsolete.
If however, it was posted in a user's profile just a quick "Jailed for highsticking - 3 days", with or without the 3 days part tagged on if the mod/deputy/cat isn't sure, then there'd be less confusion in general, for a lot of people. Which is a good think. Like look with EskimoDave: the question as to why he's jailed has been asked like eleventeen hojillion times in public by him and everyone else.

If you look in the jailed person's profile you can find out when they were jailed and who did it. I don't think the general populace needs more than that.
EskimoDave was jailed by boddah. He can PM boddah to find out. That's standard operating procedure.
See, but the thing is we're all desperate to be directly responsible for a large change to the phorum so we can be all proud of ourselves.

That took me about 5 minutes to figure out, without looking at any mod tools. Much less time than was spent in this thread in general which leaves me thinking I'm right.
If you're really curious you can figure it out.
Don't tell anyone, but you're my favorite.
boddah is jesus. you're going to get your card pulled.
Don't forget the keys to the employee washroom, smartypants.

Son of a bitch.
I'll change the codes for the photocopier. Again.
It would be moderatly useful to have one place to go to read up on the status of a probationary user that did not rely on PM'ing other mods or posting in the Mod forum.
We have a lot of users. We stick a lot of them in jail. I think a hidden comment field on a user profile would be the best way to assist our distributed administrative system.
