WARNING: challenging a moderation in Forum = 10 days ban

[IM_CAT]

I understand that players should not insult or challenge a moderator on the forum, but what I want to know, how long should a player wait to get a response after the player submits an appeal? When should the player follow-up when there is no response from BGA? I believe out of respect to the player, BGA should email an update after 24-48 hours informing the player the status.

I saw this post before it was removed and again, there was nothing insulting in it. Factual criticism yes, but the truth can hurt.

Ironically, the moderators have proved this poster's point yet again. The fact he got globally banned for a month without warning for this post is completely unacceptable. This needs to stop.

Very hard to trust someone whose account was created 2 weeks ago on this kind of topic.

I am shocked by this completely predictable development. It seems they are really going all-in to prove the people in this thread right.

I've PM'ed you the "insulting" post in case you hadn't read it.

The Moderation page (first message after moderation) should be more clear and informative.
In my case it was more confusing with mixed english and hungarian sentences. I got -3 karma penalty but (as i could not play) i thought i was banned. My appeal escalated quickly and i got 60 days penalty with even more confusing message with empty date-strings so i didn't even know when my penalty begins and when ends.

PS. Instead of "accept and agree moderation" thick-box, a simple "accept" would be better both for our ego and your patience.

Or maybe "got it" or "I understand" might be a good solution.

My last moderation (which I mentioned at the start of this thread) I couldn't aven "get it" or "understand" as to this day BGA refuses to inform me what my infraction was. I continue sending kind reminders by mail.

Please remember that the Forums are not the proper place to discuss specific moderations and appeals. You have been warned about this several times, ex here: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewto ... 69#p114869 Where you were also corrected for false claims about the moderations on your account. Here you are again making a false claim, you did not receive a 60 day penalty, but a 30 day one, in accordance with our Moderation policy for "Insulting moderators, BGA team members or BGA as a whole" in the Forum.

If the Moderation Screen for Hungarian (or any language) is unclear or not displaying properly, this is something we would like to fix. Please provide us with a screenshot and explanation of the confusing formatting or errors.
