Who do you think would do the work?
Global mods and Admins.
I was asking for specifics. Which Global mods/Admins do you think would deal with this currently?
I agree, we need more mods able to handle this. If theymos thinks Lauda is fit for the job, they should make Lauda a global mod with the powers needed to do it.
The problem seems to be that theymos doesn't agree. I (of course) have little idea what goes on behind the scenes, however I am fairly sure some staff members have been asking for a new global mod for a while just to be essentially ignored by theymos.
I dont argue against the existance of the problem, I argue against the solution.
Giving them negative ratings the way its currently done isnt either.
What would you propose to do differently? Wait for mods that are busy/don't care to handle the situation?
They dont even bother to leave a reference anymore.
From what I can see the vast majority of recent trust ratings left by them have contained a reference, which ratings are you talking about?
Keep in mind that Lauda themselves is in this current position of power (DT & Staff) because an admin lifted their ban (for spam).
Considering that Lauda was banned twice for spam, I believe they would have been only temporarily banned. If this is the case the ban wasn't lifted, they just served it out.
I dont think something like this is possible with the way Lauda currently handles the situation.
If anything it is easier for people to dispute these negative ratings than a forum ban.
A forum ban prevents those affected from posting anywhere other than Meta. A negative trust rating doesn't prevent anything other than joining a signature campaign or trading with others easily.
