Ban Exception Test?

[Otto]

So in about a year, I might want to apply for moderator. I cant do this however as I was banned for 1 week, for "Bright Hacks" in one of my videos. I know there are many of you that feel the same as I do. Of course I attempted a bad dispute. It was upheld.

The fact of you being banned not mattering for moderator applications has been tossed around. Unfortunately I am one of those annoying people who think that if you were banned you should not be mod...

But I propose a slightly more acceptable idea! If say after about a year or a year and a half, or any amount of time, bans are ignored in the case of applications. People who hacked ( or were falsely accused of hacking) over a year ago, and have not been found hacking since would get to apply for moderator with this being ignored. A year is a long time to be found hacking again, and if they have not, this is a sign of them not hacking and being mature again.

Now I know what you're saying "If they hacked once they'll hack again!" "It shows they're not trustworthy!" To that I would propose a test (Like the age exception test) of some sort to test if they are mature and not hacking to an extra extent.

Tell me what you think of this idea!

PS: I dont know where this thread should go, so mods, feel free to move it where it is necessary.

Good idea, except there has to be only certain exceptions. Maybe if you were banned for spamming/caps once than yes. Or maybe like your example, you could. But no exceptions if it was hacks or cussing or anything.

Indeed

As I've said before, a ban exception process similar to age exceptions would in my mind work well. You can gauge if someone is ready for the position through a scrutinous process with written and verbal steps.

agreed.

I would be personally affected by this, so I agree. Also, I know quite a few other players who wanted to apply, but could not.

I'd also like to remind people that bans from V1 (Around Feb. of 2013, if memory serves. Not 100% sure.) do not count towards bans.

I feel this may cause some controversy only because MCGamer seems to take hacking of any kind very seriously and I, along many others, favor this very much. It just seems that if you hacked on the server then it shows that you do not really care about the server as much as you should if you were to be moderator. This is just my opinion.

I understand for recent offenders, but there are players whose bans are almost 2 years old that I trust far more than some moderators now.

like me. you trust me as a moderator right? RC? hello?

At once I was not allowed to apply for moderator for a 12 hour ban 2 years ago. But in my opinion Sr.Staff+ won't change that.

You, my friend are a genius.
Although I have never been banned, I feel like this would be a great opportunity for others.
