Hello Tributes! Lately, there have been many threads regarding deleting evidence and what the policy should be. Many of those threads have been locked for flame and other things. I decided to make one thread, that should be flameless, to discuss the matter at hand. In this thread, I am going to discuss many different sides to the current policy and many of the alternatives that people have been recommending.
Deleting Evidence Should Be A Bannable Offense
Deleting Evidence Should Be A Bannable Offense
- If a user is banned for hacking, and the evidence is removed, the ban gets pardoned in most cases. If the hacker gets away with it due to someone else's ignorance and disregard for the rules, then a permanent ban seems fair and just for them.
- For example: If someone is going to jail for murder, and the evidence is destroyed by a friend of the criminal, then the criminal is going to be in a lot of trouble. Destroying or removing evidence is an extremely big deal.
- We don't exactly perm ban someone without talking to them. We ask them to upload the evidence once more, and if they refuse, we take action. The policy isn't a 100% your getting perm banned type of deal like many people thought. We warn the user first.
- When filing a repost abuse, the user making the report abuse is supposed to sign saying that they agree to the terms and conditions and that they wont remove the evidence. Unless the person filing the report abuse didn't read, then they should have known not to remove the evidence without informing the staff. With a clear warning before the report is even finished, punishments to the current extent seem just.
Deleting Evidence Should Not Be A Bannable Offense
- Many times evidence can be lost and deleted on accident. Banning someone permanently could be a little excessive.
- If someone has a video on their own channel, and the video is taken down because it was reported by the hacker and all of his friends, then the user might be falsely banned.
- For example: If someone is going to jail for murder, and a friend destroys the evidence, the friend will be in a lot of trouble. Although the friend will be in a lot of trouble, they most likely wont spend life in prison. Maybe a permanent ban is a little excessive.
I personally think that there is plenty of warning, so a permanent ban is completely fair and just.
Rules for a Friendly Discussion
- Obey the rules. Be nice.
- Flaming, Trolling, and other hostility will be removed.
- Please be considerate with your arguments. Aggression only weakens your credibility, so please be courteous.
- Please consider everyone's perspective as much as you'd like yours.
- If things get too out of hand, this thread will be locked, please don’t waste the opportunity.
