Banning Policy

Introduction

Violations of the Adilsons Community Policy will be dealt with in accordance with our Banning Policy. The aim of this policy is to resolve any infarctions of our community guidelines as well as to decrease the likelihood of repeat offences through a stepwise modality of restrictive measures imposed upon the offender(s).

Any member found to be in violation of the community rules may be subject to a warning, temporary ban, or permanent ban at the complete discretion of the community moderators (see Reporting and Escalation Process).
Repeat offenders or those who commit particularly severe violations may be banned permanently without warning.
Any member who is banned may appeal the decision by contacting a moderator. The appeal will be reviewed by the community moderators and a decision will be made, as elaborated prior.
Any member who is banned for hate speech, racism, or other discriminatory attacks will not be allowed to appeal the ban.
Any member who is found to be creating or participating in spam or other disruptive behavior may be subject to a temporary or permanent ban.
Any member who is found to be sharing the personal information of other members without their consent shall be subject to an immediate ban without warning.

The community moderators reserve the right to ban any member for any other reason they see fit in the interest of maintaining a safe and enjoyable community for all members. To this effect, the Moderation committee reserves the right to take disciplinary action without informing the parties involved and/or explaining its grounds for doing so.

Consequences:

Warning: A verbal or written warning that can further be categorised as Major / Minor depending on severity of the infraction may be issued to a member who has violated the policy

Temporary ban: A temporary ban may be imposed on a member who has violated the policy and the infraction is considered more severe. The length of the ban will be determined by the severity of the violation and the member will be given the opportunity to appeal the decision.

Permanent ban: A permanent ban may be imposed on a member who has repeatedly violated the policy or whose actions are considered to be a serious violation. This decision will not be reversible.

Progressive Disciplinary Measures for Community Code of Conduct Violations

Reporting and Escalation process

Any member of the community who witnesses or experiences a violation of the Adilsons Community Policy should report it immediately by sending a message to the group’s designated Moderator. Reports can be made through the community's designated reporting form.

How to Report a Case?

Submit your report through the dedicated Report Form (link here). If you feel that someone’s life is in imminent danger, contact the local authorities first.

The report should include a clear and detailed description of the incident, including any relevant screenshots or evidence. Keep it short and to the point.

How are Cases Handled?

The Moderator(s) will review the report and determine the appropriate course of action. This may include reviewing any relevant evidence, such as screenshots or messages, and interviewing any witnesses or parties involved.

Based on the findings of the investigation, the community's Moderator(s) will determine an appropriate consequence for the violator. These consequences may include a warning, temporary suspension, or permanent ban from the community (see Banning Policy).

If the violation is deemed severe or if the member has a history of violations, the Moderator(s) may escalate the incident to the Moderation and Enforcement committee for further review and action.

The Moderation and Enforcement committee will make a final decision on the appropriate course of action and shall communicate the outcome of the investigation and any consequent action to the person who filed the report, as well as the violator.

The Moderation and Enforcement committee will also keep records of all reports and actions taken to ensure consistency and fairness in enforcing the community guidelines and enforcement policy.

If the member disagrees with the decision, they can appeal it (see Appealing Bans and Other Disciplinary Actions).
