FOR THE MODS AND RULE#4 SOURCING.

I have been banned on another account for sourcing, as well as quite a few other members. But the ban, is 7 days. I feel like it's a little bit of overkill. Could we get some leniency as I've seen about 15 alone in the past hour. Now perhaps it's our fault for not reading the rules, that's true. But perhaps some leniency for a second offensive, especially since we didn't even see a sticky on the front page.

● So, could we get a possible 3 day ban rather then a 7day for second offenders? I'm still seeing several people daily getting 7 day perma banned for asking questions that are 95% in similarity on TODAY'S front page.

●Anyone else agree?
Thanks

Personally I don't care what the penalty is. None of the mods do. The purpose of the ban is to correct the behavior. Before we didn't ban. And that didn't work. Same people would post sourcing questions. A ban fixed that problem. I think we can talk about whether a 3 day ban is enough. Like I said it's not so much punitive as rehabilitative (like prison! /s). If we get the same results with a 3 day ban I don't think anyone would have an issue with it. But I'm ambienes out so will need to think about it more tmo and speak with other mods for their thoughts. The 7 day ban works well. If a 3 day ban works just as well, I'm happy. That's the real question

I don't ever see GENERAL sourcing. Sometimes when I check out the 'new' tab I'll see one, but it is always deleted. There was a post about stealth a little bit ago, but the OP gave a very specific style of stealth he required, not who had the 'best'.

I once general sourced a while because I didn't know the rule, and I agree it should be more lenient, but I don't think it's as common as you imply.

Maybe the mods could sticky a definition of sourcing for those who are having trouble understanding what it actually is.
