[POLL]Are moderators here too strict?

Thug Life: The low quality file rule is not based on likes because there are many trolls who simply give likes for crap. So you don't even have to care about getting likes. It won't change anything. Moderators decide which files have a too low quality and I think they are pretty fair with that. Of course they can take a look at the likes and comments when they make their decision but they don't have to. They shouldn't give you a temp ban though but only remove the files. Unless you upload many bad files. Then a temp ban could be justified to give you time to improve your work before uploading stuff again.You are right that this approach (simply removing stuff instantly) is a bit harsh. The current system does not support something like an automated warning system though. Moderators would have to keep track of such warning themselves which is unreasonable. There's definitely much room for improvement and I'll work on that when I find time for it.
In the new system nothing would be removed instantly without any warning. It would only get flagged. File owners would see their flagged files and would have enough time to react. Some flaggings might even hide the files from the archive until the problems are resolved by the file author and reviewed by a moderator.
But I guess this is going a bit too OT, sorry.
