subscriber banning

logic

Just a question, not sure if I'm posting in the right place even but

Can a paid subscriber get a site ban?

just wondering cos I would be a bit upset if subscribed for a year (lets say)
and i got a site ban just after subscribing for something stupid.

Also, while I'm posting, multiple accounts, I think I read somewhere that they are not tolerated, I signed my missus up from this comp, is that ok?

i thought the same thing, why pay 50 euro, not a bit sum at all, but it would be the principle. only to get banned for a misunderstanding.

StupidLikeAFox

someone in prison got a refund a while ago after he was banned.

although chances are if your "dedicated" enough to subscribe (for want of a better word) your gonna be clever enough to to **** around

Kevin_rc_ie

maybe it's everyone else bar me that's ******* around?

Subs are liable to the same rules as everyone else, just like mods.
I'm not sure what the policy is regarding refunds, but I can say that there is one way to ensure that you will never have that problem; don't break the rules. People don't get site bans for no reason, whatever about silly disagreements and "differences of opinions" in regard to individual forum bans, the Smods and Admins only envoke the 12-click when they must.

And I'd say they won't have a problem with you signing up your gf from the same computer, multiple accounts are only frowned upon because they tend to be created for spamming/trolling purposes.

Kevin_rc_ie

why are you letting your gf use boards. surely you know she will soon get seduced from board hunk and be swept away.

Do your best......ha ha!!!!! I certainly not worried about that!!!! her names FooFoo

logic

oh and she hasn't posted anything yet but she very very fine!! o man

Kevin_rc_ie

ah, don't tempt fate my man. there's a fable on the tip of my tongue but i can't remember it. i foresee bad things in the logic/fooboo household.

all members of boards, be them moderators, users, subscribers, hosted members, private forum users etc are all bound to the same broad rules.

being a mod or paying a subscription fee does not allow you to suddenly spout racism or bigotry, go on a n insulting spree, or claim kingship of the fee.
it simply means you get a warm feeling in your gut knowing that you help the poor admins get through another week with some beer money in their pocket.

beer money that we never see again.

we dont get any beer from the admins.

ever.

not a drop.

although Ecksor did buy me purple reign cocktail in london last week.

which was nice of him.

i always wondered about the mutiple accounts thing, my sister is registered on boards aswell, and im sure the admins and mods have seen the same ip address pop up for both of us, but wouldnt it be the same aswell if you use boards from a work computer 100 users could have the same ip address.

As for the subscribed user who gets banned, one of my mod mates said they refund the money to you, but as mentioned above if you pay why would you arse around then.

Kevin_rc_ie

it's hypothetical, and secondly, everyone makes mistakes.

CuLT

Not the kind of mistakes that get you sitebanned

Getting a sitewide ban is actually difficult, you really need to have some holy purpose driving you.

Kevin_rc_ie

maybe the person baning you makes the mistake.

Clutching at straws man.

A sitewide ban is usually looked at by a few moderators on the rare occasion that it occurs.

Kevin_rc_ie

That's what they want you to beleive, but it's usually a combitition of tea leaves and astrology charts that decides this.

Why not subscribe on a monthly basis using PayPal and hence rid yourself of the fear of the effect of a site-wide ban? Think of the relief!

Sparky

i got banned from the cuckoos nest but for stupid reasons.

Since when do you need an invite to get into the nest?

pwd

You need an invite since they realised everybody was just posting spam in the place.

Hang on. The thread says "post in here and you get banned". You posted. And the reason is stupid?

Jesus wept.

In fairness Sparky, it says "EXTREME STUPIDITY FILTER" in the thread title.
