It's not the worst approach to it, but there's a specific change they'll end up making to their proposed UI. Currently, the time limit is applied at the moment that Discord issues the warning:
> You can't send messages for 1 hour.
This will end up needing to incorporate a timer, so that users don't just say something offensive and then go take a nap and let the ban expire unnoticed. What they have now is easily dodged and disregarded ("I didn't see the notification!" objections). Something like this:
> You can't send messages until 1 hour after acknowledging this message.
So that when they next open Discord, the timer begins once then (and not prior), while removing all deniability for having 'overlooked' the notification.
- xboxnolifes 3y agoGoing and taking a nap could be the point. Just getting a user disengaged from an argument can be beneficial.
- forgotpwd16 3y agoSure is. But next time they do the same offense again because they skipped the message and be banned they'll complain they got banned without reason.
- _chu1 3y agoPeople also complain that someone stole their email address because someone with the same name made one first. You can't fix stupid unfortunately.
- altairprime 3y agoYou can certainly plan for it, though.
- jonathanlydall 3y agoI used to be WoW GM (many, many years ago now) and 3 hour suspensions effectively worked like this, if you were offline it would only start the timer when you next logged back in. I can’t recall for sure, but I think 24 and 72 hour suspensions were different and started the count down at the time applied.
