Rabies · 2005-11-02 18:46:05

I'm not banned, but lately loads of people have posted here before asking a mod some simple questions Why was I banned? Who banned me? When will the ban be lifted. What are next weeks lotto numbers. Koneko posted a thread earlier to SomethingAwful. I noticed that they have a Leper's Colony similar to Prison here i guess.…

Why was I banned?
Who banned me?
When will the ban be lifted.
What are next weeks lotto numbers.

Koneko posted a thread earlier to SomethingAwful. I noticed that they have a Leper's Colony similar to Prison here i guess.

Would it be possible to implement something like this here?
When a mod/smod bans a user could they be pm'd a link to such a list.

Hmmmm

I always liked their banlist, it's handy, so I would be in favour of this, but I think the admins are already busy folks, especially now (after the upgrade, still stuff to do).

I know there still is work being done SW/HW upgrades and fixing everything else.
Just something I think could work well here if it was easy to implement at a later stage.

It sounds like a cool idea alright.

It would be good for moderators looking to make ambiguous decisions as well, such as "Do I ban this guy for being annoying in the following way". They could just look down the list of previous offences.

Wow, theres a filter on boards.ie that stops you posting all in capitals. I like it. Sort of kills the sarcastic point of my post (snipped, above) though. Oh well!

Great idea, this. Nine thumbs up from me.

I think the idea was that mods could see a person's ban record. It would make it easier and quicker to spot serial trolls etc and help protect normally well behaved posters.

Aye, t'was a fine idea indeed and proposed by a man on un-matched handsomenes. This would probably be just as good if not better in at least some aspects. *Thumbs go up*

probably have to type in when you ban them. Same way you can give a reason when deleting posts.

lol, tekkit Tal/Gimli!

Incidentally, obviously DeV and the rest of the admins have banned many more accounts that the lists states, this must have happened some time before a certain upgrade which shows what specific admin banned the specific user. There is an obscene amount of sitebanned users in the entire database.
