Meaning[edit]

@Spartaz: All this page says is: "IBAN Violations are not vehicles to rehearse a litany of complaints about the person you have the IBAN with. If you can't stick to mentioning the fact of the vio then don't say anything at all". What does "IBAN Violations" are not "vehicles ..." mean? The next sentence appears to imply that "IBAN Violations" means "Reports of IBAN violations". Is this correct? If so, please amend the very unclear wording. ~ P-123 (talk) 16:08, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Reports of" is implied.

It's inferrable from this essay that "rehears[ing] a litany of complaints" outside the topic of the vio, isn't a vio. And that's unfortunate, since the rules encourage that kind of behavior and milktoast essays like this have zero effect. (Everyone should "eat five servings of fruits and vegatables per day" and do 40 minutes cardiovascular exercise, but how many do?!) I suspect the reason IBAN is so flawed is in part because the people who wrote it and enforce it were never IBAN'd themselves. And as in society generally, few give a shit about the rights of those behind bars. IHTS (talk) 03:33, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
