Hi Admins,

I have a suggestion about the ban on editors from scoring of reviews.

At the moment, when an editor recieves 3 warnings for either beingg rude or for submiting an innacurate scorecord, they are banned from scoring reviews. It is awesome, as it keeps editors on their toes. It also seems like this ban is a permanent ban. Sometimes, the editors do not intentionally mean to offend.

Therefore, I have a suggestion to give room for editors to learn and get a second chance at editing after learning from their mistakes (every repentant offender deserves a second chance).

The suggestion is to give room for reinstatement of a repentant editor after six months of their ban. If they are still level 6 at the expiry of 6 months, they can manually apply to be reinstated as editors per the current system.

Thank you.

Sam.

It's a good suggestion. Thank you for thinking of it.

For me, I wouldn't personally upvote as is. The reason is that I don't think simply having time go by is enough to warrant reinstating someone.

Instead, I think there would need to be other qualifications besides just six months going by, such as doing a minimum number of reviews in that time with a minimum editorial score.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for adding that. I didn't add I because I assumed that the current system of manual access to level 6 and being an editor already covered that.

Thank you also for considering the suggestion. Do have the best of the day.

Perhaps, I'd suggest that the remove editor be able to re-apply to be an editor after both a certain time has gone and[/i] the removed editor has done a certain amount of new reviews with great scores and no inaccurate PRQs or other similar issues.

I don't mean PRQ Disputes because sometimes there is a dispute that is ultimately decided by the moderators in the reviewer's favor.
