Ban transparency

Since codex staff have decided to become professional executioners, can bans be somewhat transparent? It fuels the paranoia a great deal when you can't discern a perma ban from a two day ban.

This is all a humble request of course. Please don't ban me.

They will only ban if it's funny, and banning long-standing edgelords is funny. Banning generic newfags like ourselves is not funny, so we're safe. Besides, your avatar is Peter Weller.

I don't think ban transparency is a good idea at all. Admins/mods are much more open here about bannings than they should be. We need reasonable and consistently applied rules and a formal warning system so that it's on you if you get banned. The only person who is entitled to transparency when they are banned is the banned person.

Alt account transparency when?

Baseless accusations of being an alt and ban evading. :P

That being said, I was banned on many forums and they always showed reason and ban length. Only on Codex you are left to guess if it's a 5 minute or permanent ban.

And I thought you wanted to ban transparency on the codex.

As a recent ban survivor all I can say is the functionality is pretty fucking shit when you're banned. Can't even log out normally.

What we need is a list of all the new alts to know who is who:

Non-Edgy = Lambchop
Techno Union = Liberal
Ehrenmann = Sweeper

Still not sure about that Alt Panda, he sounds way too sane to be the actual Red Panda.

I wouldn't exactly call Non Edgy Gamer a new alt, he's been there since last year. Though thanks for Sweeper, I didn't know

What benefits would someone get for pretending to be Red Panda?

You tell me. Why did you choose this name shortly after Red Panda was banned?
