Change the Quora Policy on Banning and suspending accounts

The Issue

Ladies and Gentleman of the community of Quora.

The community that we know has lost some of its brightest stars people such Brooke Shwartz, Ayden Jozwik and James Finely. The reason why we have lost these people has to do with Quora's vague and draconian policy dealing with suspensions and banning of accounts. The policies implemented by Quora's moderation team ban users based on the feedback of other users that can be biased or heresay. 

The Moderation team does not state the reasons as to why a user is banned instead it just says banned for violating Quora terms and conditions. How are we the users supposed to appeal a ban if we don't know what we are being accused of. This site does not show fairness and the recent suspensions and bans have created a place of fear and anxiety. Quora's main mission was a place of learning and of conversation how are we suppose to learn and converse with a fear of a ban hanging over our heads.

Sign the petition so we can pressure Quora to give a reason as to why a user was banned and also change the way complaints are handled.  The reports from individuals should not be considered as main evidence in a case of suspension of a user because it can be tainted for malicious gain.  This petition will demand that Quora uses humans instead of bots to make a judgment in a case of user's suspension.
