Redemption

Hagar

Suggestion:

The banned should be allowed to redeem themselves by making a generous donation to the Santa Strike Force in atonement for their sins.

That's a great idea. My previous incarnation (Verdammt) has been banned and I would welcome the opportunity to atone for my sins.

Fantastic idea.........

..and then once the payment clears they can be banned again

Bard

Not that great an idea to be honest.

Presumably the banned were banned for good reasons. Why should they be able to 'buy their way out of jail'?

Subscribers - who pay 50 quid a year to use extra features of the site - aren't much more special -they can also be banned for stepping out of line... introducing a get out of jail (albeit for cash) card like this doesn't seem quite right imho...

Unlucky for you, telling us all that you were banned but are now back under a different account is a great way to get banned again. BUH BYE !

Ok fair enough,

I've decided to start behaving myself.

If the mods want to ban be again, then ok.

I just wanted to have my say on this tread and show that I'm really a nice guy and an upstanding member of Boardsie

Everyone makes errors in judgement and regret them later.

I've met this guy in person and he is sound.
If it were possible I would propose his re-admittance to the Boards as Verdammt.

BTW "abgeurteilt = sentenced" is a very clever name

A bit of a gamble no? They donate, get unbanned, get banned again a few weeks later, and start screaming about how they're entitled to access because they donated.

Nobody should get/expect any return for their donation.

I actually think this is a good idea. As long as the donator understands that they'll have no immunity from being banned again.

I doubt it'd make much money though unless most of the banned can rob daddies credit card.

If you are banned from the site totally then you should stay banned. As others have pointed out here what happens if the unbanned crosses the line again and gets banned again. They would scream blue murder as they paid to get access to boards again.

I would also be in favour of automatic banning of any "new" accounts they set up as well.

amp

Yeah but Gandie think about it, user gets banned, pays 20/30 euro's to get back in, get's really stupid and gets banned again. If they're the really stupid but rich types then they keep getting banned and paying up again.

Anything that the user did can be erased with Reason and boards has at least 20/30 euro's it didn't have before.

Tbh I don't see how boards could lose.

abgeurteilt

On second thought's I don't think it would be a good idea.

What about a paroll system, whereas when someone is let out of jail early if they f*ck up major they get an instant and permanent banning (including IP).

Jim

It would be just more of an insentive for the admins to ban people.

DeVore

Fraught with complications.

Banned users stay banned. They can obviously sign up again but if they go back to their old ways then they will get banned again in due course.

SSF wants nothing to do with that sort of thing and is not part of Boards Ltd and is a creation of the community here. I also dislike the idea of "oh I'll donate to a cause I could care less about in order to save my own banned ass."

I'll overlook the fact that you are back on the understanding that you are going to stay under my radar.

I'm going to close my eyes now and count to ten and when I open them you'd best not be around.

banning IP's is not a good idea, what if 5 users share the same ip address? all 5 get punished for the sins of 1 user

Oh, the stories that could be told. Cloud banned all of Cork once. That was funny.

That's not funny, it sounds like a good idea to me.

Ah well yeah, but the money could go to boards itself rather than SSF. After all it's the troublemakers that give the admins the most work out of all users.

But like I said, it may not be worth the effort in terms of time v money.

I think DeVore need BaddieMusic(tm). Y'know, whenever he appears on Boards. Something sombre and stirring.

Is there a chance that you could unban "Verdammt" on the understanding that we never cross path's again ??.

And should the crossing of the paths happen I promise to f*ck off and not come back.
