They will make the PB when the wicked old witch mrs cleaver returns so she is not bored

NO>there is no report button or flag.

this site is so incomplete in many ways. its a good looking site but so much is missing from it.

I had no knowledge of the penalty box but I believe this new bag is still heavily underdeveloped. Essentially, it's in a beta phase as it's missing so many elements that are common sense such as a notification system to alert us to when our content is interacted with and edit and delete options for our content.

I don't know. I was never in the penalty box on the old site. I did have an image removed from my profile because it was too "adult", but I wasn't penalty boxed for it.

Hello there you were one of my friends on the old AB. I was wondering about you, you were so good at music. Glad I found you!! Jan 22

I don't think so, but if there is I have a pretty good idea who the first one in it is.

Don't look now, Kenz, but one of the community leaders who did put innocent members in the box for things they haven't done is back here, and already his answers suggest he is still a community leader. I see trouble clouds on the horizon.

I don`t know yet, but I`ve got a feeling I might find out very soon.

I hope it has, because that pervert who was stalking and harassing me about three months ago has just returned with a new account after I thought they'd deleted his old one. People like that should be put in some kinda penalty box and stay there forever.

A friendly community is a difficult thing to ensure. Sometimes it's impossible. And in my experience (for whatever that's worth), the causes of problems are always either bully types in the community, or bully types on the staff. (I've also seen places absentee run ...ie, they used an automated report system and there were no mods at all. You could appeal, but you would always lose, because the program was setup to do that. People left. In droves. You gotta have mods. But they cant just be bullies. A mod should be a compassionate coach, who values every member (even the **holes)(there's always a few), but that good mod will never let them know he's viewed that way, and will leave him feeling positive about himself, and the site, and the need to be supportive of it by staying within bounds. It's just a matter of talking to them like they matter, instead of hitting them on the head with sternness and dispassion. I saw a site with over 2 million members fail and go 404 within 3 years, because of abusive mods. Well....I dont know everything, or even much, cause I';m new. But I dont love the sound of that "penalty box". (It's a ban, right?) Those should be rare. A friendly talk can give a jerk a reputation to LIVE UP TO. Or.. a mod can manage to just make them more resentful and rebellious by bashing them around. You just need a quality staff, and a way to audit it. And the members need to have a voice, & a clear way to communicate with staff (somewhere to post questions, that get answers, & somewhere to read site announcements. I haven't found that yet, though I may be in it right now? lol. I like the people here. I like Answerbag. I hope it grows nicely.

I hope so, then they can stick "we are dough 68" in it for the rest of his life.

Yes, they send you there if you ask more than 6 or 7 questions in an hour. And no, the moderators seldom show themselves. They delete questions answers and comments from time to time, but mostly they stay out of the way. This Answerbag is fairly drama free until someone shows up starting stuff. We're a happy little community.

I don't know about a penalty box, but my questions like to disappear.

Yes, there is definitely a Penalty Box. I recently spent 10 days there for letting a troll get the best of me and swearing at him.😒

no idea but i was put in it for no reason when i first joined here i think in april 2021.
