As I noted in our FB wiki veteran Editor & moderator chat:

"That thought crossed my mind in the course of 2015 for a couple of times when I encountered a number of notorious bad guys on several servers. Banned on one, entering another, repeat sequence.

''There are 2 options: 1) Create a thread in one of the existing forums/boards. Problem is that we cannot make stickies. 2) Create a separate board 'Naughty chair'. This offers us all opportunity to create dedicated perms, although options are limited.''

Needless to say option 2) is preferrable.

Mevans kudo implies the overlord likes this and we should seek to either find very convincing arguments to not take action on it, or just do it, in one way or another."

So, do we really need and want a publicly displayed board that lists all bad guys in the community?

Here's some questions that pop to mind:


 * What is the list of offences that makes people end up on the list in the naughty corner? Which offences are explicielty excluded?
 * Would it decrease the chances of a naughty kid to get a second chance?
 * Would it undermine or boost the motivation to stay in the community and take that second chance to improve their behaviour?
 * How does the community determine if a player was rightfully convicted and earns a spot on the list?
 * How does the community determine if a player's record shall be deleted after showing 'sufficient' 'proper' behaviour?
 * Who is to decide and how, on what to list about a player?
 * How are complaints to be dealt with and who will deal with them?
 * Can server owners or other server staff who abuse their powers also be proposed to be placed on the list?
 * Can anyone just complain about anyone or do we set some 'line-not-to-cross'?

This may be thin ice guys. I see your point, so this is more of a watch list, not an instant ban list. Maybe this list should only add people if they commit the offense on multiple servers.
