There is nothing positive about it at all from a mod point of view or for the forum as a whole I think, one of the reasons it was scrapped before. Members get inmated and get a forum to hurl abuse or further continue the behaviour that got them there, the mod has few options as the member is already an inmate so they have to consider perm banning them, which is a whole new drama party. Basically I think people that get inmated should sit it out as it is now and have posting privileges returned on the set date.
I don't see the punishment in giving someone a forum to complain as much as they want about members/staff etc, and the whole thing becomes a half hearted joke of a place where people are sent for like an hour for teh lulz, and with all the members we have now and the numbers joining steadily I don't fancy the idea of keeping tabs on all of that, hard enough dealing with infractions etc sometimes.
