ALL POSTSAllow active CMs to decide bans in chat
<p>So recently there have been issues with users and ban lengths and administrators who haven't taken action. The moderators in chat on these occasions came to a different decision from the admin but were unable to put it into effect as a single admin basically overruled us.
What this vote would allow is all active CMs on chat to come to a unanimous decision on the banning of users. This would <i>not</i> overrule admin votes, but it would take multiple administrators to overturn a CM decision. For this to be put into effect it requires at least three active CMs in chat and all active CMs to reach the same decision.
</p><p>Should we allow CMs to come to a unanimous decision on ban time in chat?
</p><p>A) Yes: 24 Votes
</p><p>B) No:
</p><p>C) Neutral: 1 Vote
</p>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Concensus">Concensus</span></h2>
<p>Yes, allow Chat Moderators to come to an agreement on chat bans.

<p>A. This is what mods are for. And requiring unanimity was a good way to go with this.

<p>Can you clarify by what you mean by "<span style="font-weight:normal;line-height:22px;">This would </span><i>not</i><span style="font-weight:normal;line-height:22px;"> overrule admin votes," because if it's 1 admin vs 3 CM's: wouldn't the CM decision overrule the admin vote?</span>
</p><p><span style="font-weight:normal;line-height:22px;">(not that I would be opposed to this, I just want clarification by what you mean)</span>
</p><p>My only other note would be how to define an "active CM." My best guess would be a CM who is marked as active in the sidebar and who was involved/witnessed the situation..? What if a CM goes inactive for a minute? How much time is alotted for the CM's to "vote"? etc.
</p><p>I'll most likely be voting A, I just want to clear these things up first. So for now, C.

<p>Right, if it's a single administrator vs 3 or more CMs, there wouldn't really be an admin "vote" because it's one admin. If, say, there were two or more administrators in chat and they came to their own decision together, they could override a decision made by the CMs.
</p><p>Active CMs would mean CMs engaged in the situation at the time, actively modding and observing the entire thing. If a CM goes inactive for a minute or two that wouldn't really make much of a difference as long as they were still involved in the situation. And as for the vote, every CM defined as "active" would have to come to an agreement before anything could be done.
</p><p>I hope this helps
