I think we should give staff access to sourcebans, IE give every staff member logins that allow them to edit their own bans, for purposes of fixing banlengths, typos, and uploading demos and screenshots to bans. Doing this would not only allow staff members to fix their ban reasons when they forget to use quotes but also allow, and potentially create a rule for, adding evidence to bans. Such a rule could be something that requires staff to upload a screenshot or demo to any permanent ban they do. The ability to supply such proof on perm bans will be greatly helpful if the ban was protested 2-5 years later and/or if the staff that issued the ban is no longer around. I don't understand how xG has been around for so long and has never implemented this feature for it's staff. @Rhododendron @Nomulous @Hidingmaster @ThePenguin @diabeetus @Gawd @DrLee @kbraszzz @Rejects

Actually now that i think about it, allowing everyone to edit their own bans is not a good idea. They can abuse people in the server, run to sourcebans, and fix it.

If there's really a demand for this, [uSERGROUP=23]@Community Leader[/uSERGROUP] can discuss the potential community issues, there is a setting for "Edit Own Bans".

If you can set it up where they only have access to edit their own bans, then by all means we need it. If it's only possible to give them full access, then no way that's happening. Just because people are trusted with powers as mod/admin doesn't mean they won't do something stupid when they leave the clan. We give the powers to a limited number of people to reduce the chances of something bad happening, and sourcebans is a pretty serious thing. I could go in and perm ban every single player, and remove everyone's access to server powers; that's why only a few of us have access.

There are. Only Higher-Ups have access to it for reasons that are obvious. Lot of nigs can't be trusted :coffee:

The hidden is a spy I like spy c; Crab mod raises awareness for spheecrabs +1

Sounds like a lot of fun, also considering our new dodgeball server is a heck of a lot of fun with friends, other new gamemodes might be as popular too

Well then, is there a way to make it so the only access you have is to upload files to the ban? That's what I was really after, so I don't have to keep the files on my computer and risk deleting them.

Here's why I think the current system is good: A mod bans someone perm. They realize that they messed up. Currently they have to contact a higher up to fix the ban. This contact does 2 things 1) Makes the mod be accountable of their mistake, publicly to a person in power 2) Allows a higher up the knowledge of the mistake.

.... anyone that can't be trusted shouldn't be given powers in the first place.... what obvious reasons? You can set it up so that people can just edit their own bans and upload demos/screenshots.... what's the problem? Laziness?
