Improved forum moderation ('Shitposters under curfew')

[dageir]

Will I know if I'm under curfew?

[Granger]

It seems like a strange solution to me.
...
Doesn't really make sense,

We'll see how it plays out.

Did loftar actually waste time implementing this to the forum or was it already available?

The functionality is in stock phpBB and only needed very little configuration to expose it to the moderators.

So Teleskop is the only one who will be affected by this?

So far.

we're doing this instead of bans now

For all case?

The usual 'buy stuff' Spambots still get permabaned, and should you try to evade the curfew and get caught your initial account will be too, indefinitely.
So the choice is to behave to get released, continue shitposting to be ignored or evade to get permabanned.

You'll get a notification that the post you just made needs to be approved by a moderator.

You would say it is more likely to became with curfew now than it is to be temporal ban before? I mean you are more willing to use this feature since it is less harsh punishments? Or it is just as hard for curfew as it was for ban prior?

I hope this answers your question:

This limitation can and will be given with a light hand as the worst case (someone innocent be objected to it) is that there will be a delay (until a moderator sees it and approved it) when posting.

Since a warning has a meaning (a point some seemed to have missed, or even joyfully ignored, in the past) the idea is to spend less time on handing them out (and get ignored, or even mocked for doing it) prior to subjecting offenders to more drastic measures than stop or I'll say stop again.

So now it is same as before except much more easy to get this ban. Thank you for clarify.

Information about that is in the the opening post.

I feel like we're going to be seeing a lot more Teleskop alts if you're going to treat him like a child.

I think what I'm trying to point out is implicitly about the mechanic and nothing to do about Teleskop. Why would someone tolerate being treated like a child, they're going to feel scorned and they're definitely more liable to cause a problem because of it.
