The only thing I think is absolutely stupid is the ban rules

I believe bans should be used as a last resort for the worst users however the moderation here thinks otherwise

I also think only insulting other users aggressively should be ban worthy.

And from experience, bans tend to be for absolutely insane reasons. I was banned once because other people started arguing in a thread I made.

I guess I'll take the time to just say it now.

I know a bunch of people prooooobably (read: most likely) have some sort of beef with me.
If so, please direct your concerns to me via pm. That would be dandy.

Thanks for the congratulations. A little bit sad over my reception, but I guess my reputation can't be helped after what I did.

Well, I hope you guys don't mind me after a while~

Some... interesting... choices there.

Then again, it's the end result that matters. I think good luck is more in order than congratulations, but so long as you help make MAL a better place, you have my support.

Lol, there is too much forum moderators now but what about manga database moderators? It will be better if there is more manga moderator since it so hard to add manga and manga has more than anime!

Now this, laddies and gentlemen, this is something I simply love to see. Wouldn't know why, but seeing the quantity and the names really put me in a good mood. My, my, this should be lively. ;)

Congratulations to one and all!

As for the matter of the rules, I'm glad that the insults have been worked on, or at least the idea expanded. I always felt like MAL has been a bit too free-open in that spot.

The Rule I.7 was a bit weird not to exist in the first place, since with the site this big, personal responses could easily be abused and left with that. At other sites, such action may result in a permanent ban - it is a personal warning/report of action taken for a reason.

Once again, these are some excellent news. Cheers, everyone!

We currently cleaned up most if not all of the old reports, so now we're just answering whatever's on the queue.

Although at the moment, I'm on break, so don't expect too much from me...

Thread cleaned. Some posts were deleted by their creators which made the discussion a bit messy, so I've cleaned it up now.

To (a little belatedly) answer a few questions:

j0x said:
are the new rules will be applicable to old threads too like a retroactive law? i think its unfair for the new rules to be applied to old offenses (that are not illegal at those times)
The only rule that is new is the point about not posting moderator PMs on the site.

Demi_V said:
That actually brings a good question. Are the bans starting over with these new changes? In other words, does everyone get a clean slate now? Maybe Kineta said it and I missed it.
As I said in my first post, this is not a new system. We implemented this system at the end of September and have been trial-running it since then. If you were warned and/or banned during this system, you would have been notified of your category offense and what fell into it; and thus, these posts should not be news to you. If you weren't warned/banned during this period, but before this date, then it's likely your offenses have expired (depending on how many you had).

If you'd like to know your current ban history (where you are on the stages for each category), you may PM a forum moderator and ask them.

Those rules already existed but it was decided to put them as another post so people can see what counts as a definition of said categories.

I've seen many of these mods post on anime episode threads. We will finally get better moderation on anime threads since it contains most of the hate, flaming and bashing compared to other sort of discussions/threads. Nevertheless, I'm expecting some better thread cleaning, not some overlooking on some trolls and nerve-striking personal clashes on every anime sub-threads. xDD

Kineta has said before, this is not a new policy. That they've been using it for a while and they'd have told you if you got a strike in one of the things.
