The mechanics of banning

IIRC, no. I think Sultan asked for one once.

And I thought it was granted...a 24-hour ban, right?

I remember the topics that mods had to make when the PMs were disabled or the inbox was full. One time AoA stickied a topic whose message body said, "SB, read your PMs NOW" with a later post that said "Crisis averted, for now."
 
But I want to experience life on te wild side! Ban me! (To all moderators not skilled in the use of sarcasm: that was sarcastic. :lol:)
 
Well Floppa and curt wanted a perm ban but TF refused to allow it. Althrough Ainwood did volunteer to do the banning. :hmm:
 
To be forced from the site. They wanted a break for whatever reasons and wanted to be banned so that they couldn't come back even if they changed their minds.
 
it sepends, more severe bans sometimes warrent a ip adress ban, but usually, it's just a name
 
Having only TF be able to unban people seems like a serious problem to me.

I was banned for an extra day or two - and what if TF was on vacation or sick or something?

Not to mention the zero-tolerance policy on even mentions of bans...
 
Well I guess the person is just SOL if TF is gone. Although I don't really think that is too big of a problem. A couple of more days away from this site never hurt anyone.

The "only admins can unban" problem should be resolved with VB3 (next weekend?). We mods will be able to specify a time-limit for a ban, and when the timer runs out, you will be auto-unbanned.


Giant Radioactive Grandpa -- is that aimed at me? ;)

I should've known that would be the answer. ;)

Oh, and I guess it can be - although my grandpa really is radioactive. :crazyeye:

Really simple solution for this problem - don't do anything that can conceivably get you banned in the first place. :rolleyes:

Do you ban on request? :p

There was one user (from Apolyton IIRC) that wanted to be banned for 1 week so he could concentrate on schoolwork.

Ah but where would the fun be in that XIII?
Things change, I remeber my time before the population increase, change of rules, and addition of Alcibiates of Athenae and Pale Hores as moderators, when I trolled, spammed, and flamed. I have found smaller site that are yet amenable to those entertainments, and no, I am not going to direct any of you to them. :p

Wow :eek:. That actually sounds like a good idea.

Some of us might already be there...
