May I suggest something please?

While users are banned, they should still be able to view posts as a guest.

They'd be incapable of posting, yet they'd still be in touch with what's happening on EE.

During my ban I had to ask people on Kongregate what was going on, and to check certain posts for me.

Thanks for reading.

Since I have never been banned, I always thought you were allowed to check the forum as a guest. I suppose I would agree with this. It would be kinda ridiculous IMO to have to check the forum on another device.

Yes, I don't really understand the need to block everything.

But I'm not really sure how it works, like if it can lead to a premature unban. So I'll wait for a mod's opinion.

If your IP hasn't been banned, you can clear your cookies and view as a guest.

You have to clear all of your cookies just to see threads? ._.

Bans are not designed to be a minor inconvenience, they are designed to completely cut off all communications with us and make you feel deserted and miserable.

They need to be taken seriously. We put you in a jail, not house arrest. In the future we may have different tiers of bans, but for now we're using just perma-bans.

Yeah, well, you know that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

How miserable could you get from being banned? Life goes on. It's not like your going to stay on the forum your whole life. I would hope for many people that it would only be an inconvenience, not something that would ruin you completely.

I didn't say "ruin your whole life" miserable, just "make you wish you followed to rules" miserable.
