ban issues

ok so i have a big issue with permanent bans i wanna mention here. if someone gets a permanent ban, they can troll. if you are banned from the forum, you have nothing to lose from trolling. i didnt troll during my last ban because it would get extended from 1 week to permanent. take fail for example. he got banned from forums. when chat got the parental control, he spammed inappropriate content on forums. if his ban was temp, he might have reconsidered because he wouldnt wanna lose his account.
there is a solution to this. in addition to different lengths of ban, we should have different severities of ban. say i spam a topic. then my ban could be inability to post but still look at forums and send pm. if i spammed inappropriate content like fail, i should be permanently banned with no pm or viewing privileges. remember this thread next time you ban someone.

Re: ban issues

Not bad. We could make custom forum titles to add people to. Like make a usergroup called "Fails at Life" Anyone placed in this group may not post. We would have to remove them manually, though. Still stealing from another forum, we could change their avatar with bold red letters that says "FAILS AT LIFE"

Re: ban issues

we could have different levels of ban. for a temp ban we could remove posting ability, but still let them view and pm. for troll attacks like twipplysucks we could see who they are then ban them.

Mmhmm. Agreed, now more words to avoid posting with only two words.

Re: ban issues

i say we make a new category of people. well call it semi-banned. they can view and pm but cant post. we might be able to give them a category to argue about their ban because some bans can be lifted, like tgts ban. only semibanned users can make threads in the ban discussion section but anyone can post in it. we might even be able to sticky my why was he banned thread for use in that section. the last thing to do is to always pm the link to the post that got you banned before a semi ban.

Re: ban issues

My one and only warning was on Game Suggestions because I suggested something that was already suggested without knowing and now whenever I suggest something I always search before posting.

Re: ban issues

Already saw it. But I am a mod. I can't set/make new title things. Like the Moderator title has all the permissions we do. Admins have their permissions. Even if an admin did make such a title, mods would be unable to send someone to that category.

Re: ban issues

aww. well i guess admins could be able to do that. plus some of the mods could be promoted just because they already mod all the section except oficial ad the graveyard. i see no reason why not make you all admins.

Re: ban issues

Maybe being moderator is tough enough right now. Maybe when we get better at our jobs.

Re: ban issues

youre already mods on the entire forum. and whole forum mod and administrator dont have much differeces besides that admins create the forum. just being able to semi ban wouldnt be much of a change. you have limits on mod powers, so why not just make you all admins and give you some limits.
