Banning of Members

Sort:
Avatar of daFoxy

Why is it possible for admins to ban members without the super admin knowing?

I had two clubs which were both destroyed when an admin banned all of the members. 

Without knowing which admin had done this, I couldn’t fix the situation. 

Is there anyway I (as an SA) could track down which admin had done this?

That is a management issue make trusted people admins who won't destroy your club. 

Also if admins won't be able to invite,ban , manage members they are just cordinators.

Surely anyone is able to go to the list of banned members and unban them. Perhaps Chess.Com admin could automatically reinstate them as members.

That is true, but it’ll take up a lot of ur time trying to unban hundreds of members. Especially when they might just be banned again.

OK. So you still haven't identified the guilty party. I would expect that something has happened to give you a clue as to which admin it could be. I don't understand why people sabotage anything on here. it's not the real World.

that is a great question, why can they, and surely for any ban SAs should be notified of the ban.

I was banned earlier in the week in a sort of vengeance situation, I would never have known as I had already quit but an SA noticed and messaged me back in.

I’m not sure why anybody would ruin the club, but it happened. Another problem was that all admins denied doing it, and it wouldn’t help me if I demoted all of them (since they helped keep the club active, and invited members when they could).

Good idea for a console to display admin activities

Yes, I agree. It should be done. You’ll also be able to tell which admins are actually helping your club grow.

@kiwichess why don't you just demote them all to coordinators then make them prove their worth?

Can co-ordinators invite? I thought not.

I don't even believe in club growth for no reason happy.png Heaps of clubs grow faster than they have anything to do inside them

@Karnakatz I've not actually tried to promote someone to coordinator but from what others have said that's what it is.

My thoughts were that they arranged matches only. I found that rather odd given that it's one of the club's most important functions.

I strongly agree. I've seen a 6600 member club struggle to get twenty players.

I know of a club with around 100 members and they bring almost all of them to a match. We had two 300 boards waiting for matches twice when the membership was below 400. Quality over quantity, every time.m

I honestly don't know. Like I said I've not used the coordinator option yet. Maybe someone that HAS used it may be able to help better.

The information is here somewhere. One way to find out is to ask one of your admins to be demoted to co-ordinator for a minute and have a look at what he can do. Then promote him again when he's ready. He'll have a drop-box with options, I'd suspect.

Maybe I should try it for myself happy.png

I agree 100%, there NEEDS to be a log of all admin activities so that the whole admin team can see which members were taken action on (kicked, muted, or banned) and which admin did it.

Yes this is absolutely needed especially if you are prone to rogue admins.
