Forum:Policy Violations

Folks if you are going to do the notice thing and then put the name of the user on a special name and shame page you really have to be careful about whether they actually violated a policy or whether you just think they violated a policy. I mean, today the first english subbed Bleach episode was released by GetBleach much, much, much earlier than it normally is and available on BleachExile (http://www.bleachexile.com/). However I notice that violation notices had been issued. Are you guys sure an actual violation happened or was it a case that being unaware that the episode had been released you made a mistake in issuing the infringement? I mean, this isn't the first time I noticed admins undoing things with the message "don't add information from chapters/episodes not yet available in english" only to find that a chapter and episode has been available for the last hour on BleachExile or some other site that is not OneManga or Dattebayo. I guess what I am saying is that, if you are going to do the violation notice thing you have to make damn sure you are not making a mistake. So either check the prominent sites yourself to make sure something hasn't come out or before you give an official warning ask the user to explain themselves. Because it really doesn't look good to penalise users who have done the right thing just because you guys weren't aware that they were doing the right thing. Tinni 01:26, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
