Infraction Cards!
Semi-transparency!
"This change is made to make moderation more transparent and eliminate the ongoing questions of what's appropriate and what is not."
Only when the other half of the coin is visible can anything be understood!
With the same technology it should be a simple hop, skip, and a jump to institute a similar system to shine the light on the specific nature and extent of the complaints reported to moderators. Shouldn't it be known who the complainers are? Who complains the most-least? What is the ratio of valid vs. invalid complaints made by individuals? The time and effort moderators expend addressing individual complainers? Wouldn't this information all but eliminate the specter of "anonymous complaints" as the basis for issuing infractions? Shouldn't forum membership be aware when complainers and moderators are of like minds regarding an issue, position, or persuasion?
Surely this information is of at least equal value as the publication of offender information!
I'll leave it up to others to come up with an appropriate name for this type of information. Thanks and good luck!
