i aint ever been banned... yet

 

 Youve only posted 77 times, so im sure you havent had the chance to make a ruccus yet


 

i must try harder...

 

just keep your sig long enough and you'll get banned. It doesn't comply with sig length rules. Maybe you could even report yourself too

They have alt accounts,so I don't think it matters.



Why doesn't VGChartz ban the I.P. to prevent alt accounts?  I guess a die hard could just change their I.P. and get on alt account then..

Why aren't banned users able to log in?  I understand stripping them of their ability to post..that shouldn't be incredibly hard without banning them completely from logging in.  They should still be able to private message, or at least message the mod with which they were banned to get a decent explanation.  Is it not possible to simply take away someones ability to post in the forums?  It shouldn't be...I've been admin on forums where you could before.  Just curious if it's possible, and if it is, why isn't that how it's done?

 

I said the same thing.

It's really dumb.

It looks like you got your pw wrong.  so you don't even know you where banned.

You gotta search the ban list to see if you are banned.. wtf?

No bans or moderations for me--I'm clean, I swear!



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Why should banned users be allowed access to any features of the site from which they are banned? Makes no sense. When I toss someone and shut them out of a nightclub for being assholes I don't let them in at all for a period, why should I? "I swear, I'm only gonna talk to the bartender and I won't drink!"

Banned is banned, if someone does something stupid they should be punished for it. I can't say I agree with all the bans in here (or the lack of them in some cases) but the rules on banned users are as they should be imo.

At least you could tell them they are banned.

And it doesn't block access to the site.  You can still read the forums, you just can't post.  So really, it's not any different.

PMs could be abused if we left that function available. There's plenty of other ways to get in touch with us, starting with the Staff link at the bottom of the page.

 

Yeah, but you guys don't respond to them... not only that but last time I got banned, I sent a message to the staff link asking why I was banned and what thread got me banned since no post id# was mentioned and you guys fined me!

Why would you fine someone using the contact staff link??

 

So to those who are currently banned.. don't use the link, mods will just fine you twice...

 

Saying "you guys" is clearly incorrect since I never received an email from you.  If you used the "Contact" link to send an email to the admin address, that goes directly to Brett and usually doesn't get looked at if you haven't followed the chain of command.  If you have a problem with a mod, contact naznatips.  If you have a problem with him, contact me.  If you have a problem with me, contact Brett.  If you have a problem with everyone, then you're better off gone anyway.

 

Yeah, I sent it to the contact link and not the staff. Hopefully, I would need to use that link again

btw - you're the one who fined me again when I was banned....

Im still clean^^ Gebx you seem like a cool dude don't let them get u



Once upon a time this was possible. Through some backdoor or another banned users could keep posting though. I assume the current system is in place to prevent a similar situation.
