Answer by Gangula for Triage needs to be fixed urgently, and users need to be notified upon receiving a review ban!

I have just been review banned and quite frankly I felt a little dispirited. After taking some time to read all the MetaSO posts, questions and answers (like this) related to Triage, I agree with why the ban is being applied. But I think there's a disagreement with the workflow the ban is being placed.

I understood this is a common issue and is being considered to make changes to. So on that note i have few points that I would like to add that i feel should be considered.

Getting a ban can mean two things,

  1. The User has done something wrong.
  2. The moderator doesn't agree with the user.

Now, there needs to be different workflows to identify these issues and address them. I feel that even if a moderator is proposing for user to be banned, there need to be an automated process to check the following:

1. Is this the first time the user is being banned?

  • If yes, then the ban should be converted to an automated ban for a couple of days or a week with a warning/notification to the user. And the ban should start from the time the user logs in first after the ban is passed.
  • The user should also be provided with a set of web-links to posts or tutorials on the guidelines.

2. For the specific triage the user is being banned, what is the majority vote?

  • If what the user has chosen is not the majority, it means that the user has done something wrong. And the ban will be justifiable.
  • If the majority is the same as what user has chosen, it means that there's a disagreement between the moderator and the majority users. This needs to be addressed further, like giving the user an option to justify themselves why they think it Requires Editing.
