When Someone is Banned
Alright, little idea I got here.
When someone is banned, why not display on their profile when they were banned and for what reason, and how long the ban is in effect until? Like I can see on my own profile my "infractions" but not anyone elses. Someone like RandyMarsh (just a recent example) gets banned and nobody knows why or for how long. Why not just make it available? :usehead: |
Why do you need to know so badly?
|
Yeah, we mods like having inside information. Maybe if you ask nicely we will tell you.
|
Its showing why in the moderators hate mail topic..the dude is relentless and patronizing the mods
|
It isn't a life or death situation. Forgive me if that is how it sounded.
But why leave people in the dark when people are interested? Everytime someone is banned people speculate about it and wonder. Why not just have it available? :confused: |
I don't know why people bother speculating.
99/100 it's usually someone having a meltdown and is usually deleted so there's nothing to see anyway. |

If they want everyone to know, then they'll make that info available. |

It's not like they're banned from the whole internet. I'm sure if it's a regular poster someone will talk to them at some point. |

Actually, I don't mind transparency, but I don't think I'd want to report in a thread to the whole community every time I ban someone. Besides, when explaining why you ban someone, you'd also have to demonstrate how the banned member broke the rules. Often, the banned member's offending posts will be deleted and so reports like that could put the banned user in a worse light than he/she would otherwise be. Hence, perhaps there should be some level of discretion - not the keeping it a secret kind, but perhaps we shouldn't advertise the reasons why when people are banned.
But, if someone sends me a PM asking me why I banned someone, I'm happy to explain with quotations of the offending posts etc. It's only natural members of the community are curious, interested or even offended which is perfectly alright, so don't hesitate to send a PM. |

Basically it's just like... A lot of members wonder when someone gets banned how long they'll be gone and for what reason. "Why?" doesn't really even matter does it? Curiosity, maybe it's someone who they talk to on here a good bit in certain threads, whatever. I don't see how it's nobody's business when it's all happening on a forum that we are all a part of. |

We could put it in their signature, but that's about it.
I wouldn't have a problem putting their ban expiration date in their sigs if it's someone who's actually an integrated member here and other members would like a reference. But I'm not going to put someone's rap sheet out in the open. The members themselves can decide whether to let people know or not. |
Maybe MB should get a seperate website where you could type in the users name and then it would show why they got banned. Much like some of the judicial websites out there hahaha!

If this forum was really so strict about people being dicks then we'd all get banned except for like 4 people.

Well for what its worth, since I've been given an infraction for literally nothing, I don't think explaining yourselves is out of the question. And since apparently the ****ing thing is permanent, I'd love for everyone to say their piece about the rule infracted upon so we don't create rampant, unchecked mod power.
And yeah, I'm still pretty pissed about that ****ing stunt. |

Or are you being facetious? |
I dont get why anyone would be pissed? Whats the big deal? meh
|
Seems like a bit of an invasion of privacy. Granted, trolls probably couldn't care less who knows about their dramz.
|
I can see someone not wanting their buisness put out there for everyone to see. But if your getting pissed because you got a write up your probally taking things a little to seriously. Are there not bigger issues in life then a write up on MB to get under your skin? Im not all for following rules in life but if you do something to get in trouble just suffer the consequences and go on. Not a big deal
|
I mean, I suppose the point is that it's not actually our business, as curious as I know we all are.

Who honestly gives a fuck?
If it's a forum regular that's been banned, there's usually a thread started asking why the member in question was banned and a mod usually addresses the situation. |
