In regards to the TaiwaneseScaler situation, I feel that banning a new member for six months is effectively the same as a permanent ban. I highly doubt anybody without significant previous investment is even going to remember they had an account here in six months. A six month ban is already a very long time, but even more so to a new user who hasn't even been here for six months.
Their troll obviously didn't actually expose anybody's IP, so the only offense is making a threat or potentially scaring someone, similar to saying you're outside someone's house or on your way when it's not true. That said, people make far worse threats than doxxing in jest, and given this is a well-known copypasta, I'm inclined to genuinely believe that it was an attempt at humor rather an actual attempt to scare anybody, especially given their other posts in that thread.
It was a risky joke in poor taste which wasn't received well. It is not malicious but shouldn't be repeated.
A warning makes the most sense.
There is already two new pages after my post just yesterday.
I feel like this system has the same problems as the image request thread used to have before I got hold of it.
But I don't want to get too off topic. I might make a more proper suggestion at some point- but if Ant wants more active participation here from the staff then it makes sense to me to start by making it easier to do so.

I do not understand how public tickets would not be transparent. I'm merely suggesting separating different issues rather than having them all in one giant linear thread.The rejection reason was "the system does not have much transparency" which I don't agree with it but whatever.
