View submission: Another Mod Queue 2024 update
Maybe a discussion with other communities who use similar methods.
But we use mod warnings via comments, this reinforces the rules with regular users who'll hopefully reinforce it (via text or simply attitude) with new users
We use bans to reinforce the warnings. So if a user is ignoring a rule, that's when we ban.
Automatic warnings & bans would be easy for simple script stuff like swearing, not posting links/memes at all or on certain days etc.
Anything more complicated would require either a ChatGPT like level of AI (which is probably too complicated and buggy to do right now. Maybe in a few years to a decade after others have experimented with it). Anything more complicated would require a human & manual warnings and systems to half automate the process.
Like when wanting to warn a user for rule 5, a mod would get a popup with an automatically filled warning text to comment to the user (rule 5 explanation text) with the ability to change or add to the text. The rest like recording the warnings in reddit user notes would be automated
The next level would be to show in the mod queue (or in the details of a user) how many warnings a user has (or warnings split by rule violation. maybe add that later and go with the basics first). This would allow a mod to decide to ban instead of warn.

Bans escalate in times (4 days, 30 days, permanent). Although I dislike the permanent option, I would have liked some years limit but that's a different discussion. (The philosophy is: if you believe that people do not change then a permanent ban makes sense. If you believe that people do eventually change, then a permanent ban on something you did say 50 years ago, doesn't make sense)
There's nothing here!
