What happens when you get banned?

[amadeus]

Just wondering...what happens when you get banned?

1. Does it stop you from browsing just the forum, or all of CFC?

2. If you TRY to browse the forum, does it give you a message, or allow you to view messages anyhow?

3. How do you block? Is it done on a name-by-name basis, or an IP basis? A dynamic IP would be very hard to ban, as it would change on a connection-to-connection basis.

1. You can browse CFC all you'd like, since guest is also an option.

2. If you try to post it puts up a message.

3. It is done by username but occasionaly IPs are banned. Generally the IP range is banned unless that affects too many people and needs to be narrowed a bit.

I still see DEFENSOR FIDEI once in a while on the active users list of the main page, even though he got banned like a million times.

When I would get banned, I would have a lot of time on my hands.
Maybe my skills on playing Civ would improve though so it actually would be a good thing for me to get banned.

Hmm I think you won`t get banned forever until you did something very very stupid. Most of the time only for one or two weeks as far as I know.

Getting banned isn't fun our clever. I got banned and couldn't post my 'Governors Report' in the Demo Games

However i did go outside for once but the sunlight didn't agree with my night-dwelling skin.

Also DO NOT create a d/l as you will get caught. Dayan spammed the Civ1 forum and got perma banned. Then he created a new account as 'Dayan is Back' that is a good way to get you IP banned!

No, trust me, DEFENSOR is as banned as a guy can get.

First, your vision begins to get blurry. This is normal, no need to panic. But after that, many people begin to gain their sense of time back, and some even go outside. It is quite a scary disease, and there are more symtoms, such as walking, eating, sleeping, and most frightening of all, talking

Perma banned? Is that a special form of ban? No this is not spam message I really don't know. It's the newbie-bonus I read somewhere:
you are allowed to ask 5 silly questions before you get banned

 

[anarchywrksbest]

Perma-banned = PERMANENTLY BANNED, you never come back and have to face life at some other site......

What happens?

I come to your house and beat the sh*t outta you.

Hey I just recognized the name Dayan. Is this the guy which created the Israel-scen and these wonderful looking units? I thought he is a respected person around here and many people including me (as I'm really an awful drawer the best I could do would be a stickman-unit anyone interested ?) admired him for his talent. Or do I mix something up now?

 

[anarchywrksbest]

You are right, it is a shame. Some people can be so childish.

I was going to make something like that.

I know that some IPs can ban a whole bunch of people, like AOL users.

Proxies are a problem... (even for networks)

Wow I'm always looking for competition. I should get myself banned so I can take you up on that one

J/K of course. I don't want to hurt any of our mods. I then have to call an ambulance and explain myself to the police. Too much of a hassle

Every bit of penalty, banning, PCR, warning, ect, results in a us taking a part of your soul. When 1024 bytes of your sould have been taken, you become a rodwraith, total subject to the will of the holder of the master banning rod.

 

[Dell19]

So you have some of my soul do you? Well give it back...please.

ONE ROD to rule them all.......

Say the word, and it's done.

Depends on the mod.

If it were, say myself, you have no worries about explaining, I would be the one busy with that.

[kidding again in case anyone takes offence]

Of course.

Three Rods for the Other Mods under the sky,
  Seven fo the Civ2 Mods in their halls of stone,
Nine for the Civ3 Mods doomed to die,
  One for the the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Civfanatics where the Shadows lie.
  One Rod to rule them all, One Rod to find them,
  One Rod to bring them all and in the darkness
    bind them
In the Land of Civfanatics where the Shadows lie.
