Hi there, after browsing this website for around 2years i always wonder why certain members get banned, especially the big guns (ie Elite Members) Just wondered how many other people woud like to be nosey and wanted to know why they where banned? (possibly a banned section with an explanation)

Please dont shoot me down lol - If you think its inapropiot please remove post mods.

Thanks,
Nick.
 
Nah not really. Some members get banned cos of controversial posts they made so having a thread about why they got banned may start it all over again....lol.

Just my opinion though.

Controversial ? this place ?

Never lol ;)

@ yottabit, not sure it would be of any use, and would just cause another arguement in my opinion (i did say my opinion ;))

you can usually see why if you browse their last posts by clicking on their username - very few are mysteriously banned
 
hmmm i'm always curious to why they are banned
however i dont think everyone should know why
maybe for those over lets say 1000 posts can have the privilage
just a thought so i aint voted cuz i'm under 1000
 
I used to be a member of a site that when you got banned, you were put in a kind of sin bin area,and other members could view this. You could still converse with other members but not on the main forum, basically it was a for-or-against to take the ban further or not between existing members and the person in the sin-bin.

It was horrendous to be honest. The other members would deliberately goad the person in the sin bin to provoke a response and ultimately make things worse than they originally were.

Not saying anything like that would happen here but I think the OP's idea is a no-no.

Staff,mods,admin shouldn't have to justify themselves to other members.

Thanks m8 good post :)

Why not just ask the person who got banned why they got banned when they get back :)

Thats a good idea skybabe

I know it sounds silly but if we ban someone it really is a private matter, confidential if you like, if the banned person is on a temp ban they may not want others to know the reason of the ban because of future goading about it or they may be embarresed, if they want you to know they will tell you all about it when they come back

I really don't think it would be right for us to tell anyone the reasons ;)

it'd be like a geeks version of 'eastenders' - proper nosey stuff!

i had some muppet threaten me via PM over the TV show 'Lost' - but he was already banned by the time i'd read it and was going to grass him up!
 
Members get banned because moderators are easy to bribe and pay off. If you want someone banned just dress up in your wife's old school uniform and pay a visit to the moderators office. Watch them pink slips fly.
 
Why have a hard and fast rule?

Why not tell people by editing the banned members sig, when it is appropriate?

Karym6? Can you be banned for being a bit of a know-it-all?

If so, me, Nara, Munkey, and v14 better watch out!
 
Kinda pointless idea that would just stir up old troubles.

However, I'm a right nosey bastard and I wouldn't mind knowing too. ;)
 
i dont think its appropriate... if anyone's really that bothered then they should ask when when the ban is lifted....
 
karym 6?

too bloody annoying, ban legit as far as im concerned. how many members did he wind up with pointless abrasive retorts? Sure 30% of the time he was interesting and constructive, the rest of the time he was trolling for a reaction.

im bored of hearing about him everytime a banned subject comes up.
I bet as soon as he went mods didnt have to constantly check every thread in the news/ rant section every minuite of the day

Im sure he his happy doing what he does on some poor other sods forums now

dang!
