A new ban appeal system?

let islam make all the decisions

 

I like the idea, but I think only staff should be allowed to vote. No non-staff

 

Thats basically what happens anyways but its just in private lmao

 

You can easily create other accounts to vote yes for your own appeal

Well then they should make it public. Also, I like your new profile pic.

 

Meep is made up of relatively immature children. We don't need to create drama.

 

if you don't get banned then you don't have to worry about getting unbanned

 

Good point

 

No offence intended towards anyone, but the community is simply too immature, and especially easily swayed, to properly handle something like this. What you're describing sounds all good on paper, but it's important to realise that this would turn into a popularity contest very quickly. It's much better for the staff to vote on them, which usually already happens, because they are better suited to make decisions than a random player. Remember, those permed are banned for a reason. That reason needs to be heavily considered.

 

i tried

 

i decided to post here saying that this is another terrible idea

 

Most legitimate reasoning I've heard on this thread.

EDIT: sorry for the necro, tapatalk tells me things are new when they aren't

Through intensive research that I have been extensively working on for most of my adult life, I have determined, through cold facts, that this plan will not only benifit the wellbeing of Meepizens, but it will directly benifit the monetary economy of the server. Refer to graph 1: In this graph, the green lines represent the presence of public ban messages throughout meeps history, and red represent player count. As we all know, public ban messages coincide with drama. Here's a graph demonstrating drama's affect on Meep player count: As you can see, the presence of drama in Meep links with the rise in player count of earlier years. To finalize my argument, I present the piece de resistance, graph 3: This shows that drama levels (blue) correlate directly with the presence/absence of a ban voting system. If my fellow meepers would realize this obvious proof, they would come to the conclusion that Mr Zamos' system would be better for the servers health and our collective healths in relation to the server.

 

Your conclusion assumes that these are the only two variables. There are far more variables at play here than drama and public bans versus the player count.

Just a few more variables you should plot before making a reasonable conclusion: overall Minecraft popularity, number of bugs with plugins, number of updates done to the server, updates to Minecraft, and the presence of popular Youtubers/ads.

In addition, can you cite the source for your data? Most of this would be a matter of opinion. Things like drama itself cannot accurately be measures. I suppose you can collect data on the number of conflicts, but again, there's no way to accurately report that. A number of conflicts would also increase as you have more players to cause issues.

In closing, this system will not bring players back that we want on the server. If someone is the greatest troll of all time, of course they'll get voted for being hilarious, but then they can just dupe all they want and get brought back so long as they have friends to vote for them. Not only is this unfair to someone less popular who commited a smaller offense, but directly biased to those playing legitimately. The proposed system would damage the community beyond repair, and I cannot stress this enough that it would not work in practice.

 

Clue I don't think bloody was serious...

 

When you have spare time, you have spare time.

Okay so with staff applications yes people are allowed to vote and it may or may not have an influence on the final decision. But with ban appeals, it's a really important situation because someones been banned and probably for something really big. If the community gets to vote if they get unbanned;
a) there could be cases of bias
b) people are trying to be funny so say they get unbanned
c) !?!?!?

Staff ban the player so staff decide if they should be released. I don't really see the point in this. If you want to let the player know if they should be unbanned, that's your opinion and you can tell them on discord or whatever
