House Rules - Be clearer about the consequences #782

Closed benrfairless closed 3 years ago

benrfairless commented 3 years ago

From Matt's comment here: https://github.com/openaustralia/righttoknow/pull/780#issuecomment-789275653

So if someone is breaking the house rules irrespective of when a comment or request was made you can exercise your judgement on how to deal with that - if that's banning someone or hiding a request/comment or writing to them to ask them to change their behaviour.

Should we update the house rules to update the fact that there are multiple courses of action?

Instead of:

If you break any of the rules we will likely suspend your account.

I'm thinking something like:

If you break any of the rules there are a number of actions we may take. These include removing your request/annotation, or reminding you of our house rules. In more serious or repeated cases, we will likely suspend your account.

I think the suggested wording is good. It makes it clearer that there are a number of potential consequences and that we will make a judgement call based on the seriousness of the "violation". I think it's good that it doesn't lay out a specific process because I'm a little wary that that potentially could be used against us by users of the site with bad intentions.
