When people in here get banned it's for a good reason. We just don't wake up one morning and say what the hell, that bastard is going down!

As for getting into "why" a person was banned....that is considered personal information. There are times when you can pick up on it with past posts from the individual but in general if it warrented a ban the posts were deleted.

Oh yes, and there are times also when we receive delightful e-mails asking that we have a pleasant day!:wtf:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

It is that simple, break the rules no matter who you are you are going to be punished. They are very fair and just around here. I have seen people with a lot of senority and 5,000-10,000 posts get a little vacation. Most of the time it is flaming or trolling so it is really simple. You call someone names or tell them to f off, or tell them how stupid and useless they are, you will get a vacation. Keep doing it and it is a permenant vacation.

I have a curiosity about banning on this site. I know many other sites will issue a short term ban like 3 days, 1 week, ect unless the problems persist then a permanent ban is in order. So my question is does this site issue temporary banning, before permanantly banning a member?
Not that I have any intention of getting banned, I was just wondering what approach this site takes on the matter.
peace

^ you nailed it right on the head. Unless you do something awful you'll get a 3-7 day ban and if the problem continues you get a permenant one

[napolitana869]

if you do something small you'll get a short ban. You have to do something really bad to get a permanent ban right away

Yes it takes a lot to earn yourself a perma ban...honestly, you have to purposely try and earn that right.

And as far as curiosity regarding bans, well, you'll just have to let that one die off. There's no point in announcing to the rest of the community why so n so was banned, as it will most likely only create more hostility and uproar which would disrupt the normal lax atmosphere around here...

If everyone were to just read the forum guidelines and cruise the forums without a chip on their shoulders, our jobs would be a lot easier and no one would be banned lol.

PEACE. :jointsmile:

Well, that's not set in stone.

If someone has posted something completely wrong, of course you can call someone stupid. If what they posted was useless, you can tell them just how useless it was.

It's more when you really go out of your way to swear as much as you can and insult them that you start getting infractions.

And it takes alot to get perm banned - so the people who do get perm banned deserve it.
