I banned him for telling me to f*** off... (I censored that). Is a month an appropriate ban?
Suggestions?
 
Re: Banned member fo month for...

That sort of thing is flaming. I think that's a little harsh for the first time (should've either PM-restricted him or put him on moderation queue first), but for the second time, I can understand a month-ban

Just my two cents though.
 
Re: Banned member fo month for...

It all depends on what made that user do say it to you.
 
Re: Banned member fo month for...

Well, a 24 hour ban is alright but a month? Did you do anything to make him angry or anything?

No, he was mad at me because I wouldn't give him admin Perms.
 
Re: Banned member fo month for...

In that case, I would go right ahead and permanently terminate his membership.
 
Re: Banned member fo month for...

Two week ban and if he comes back and does it again make it permanent.
 
Re: Banned member fo month for...

I unbanned him about a week ago, but he's not on the site, so eh. Although he was aloud access to the SB and cussed...AGAIN so I should go ban him again.

How long has he been a member? If he just registered a bit ago I'd say a permanent ban. If he has been around a while then a three day ban should do it. If anyone breaks a rule before they have been a member for very long they deserve no mercy whatsoever in my book.
 
Re: Banned member fo month for...

He was a member when I started teh forum and kept switvhing it around, but that was like only for a week, then he never came to post again. So I should, delete his account, because that's uselesss in my book. XD

Eh Cosmic, you do know that people can have a bad day? Or can have other stress going on in their lives and come online and say something stupid? I've done it before, been suspended, came back and I was fine after that. Banning should always be as a last resort unless the person is a real threat to the community.

Still, if they break a rule which clearly wasn't a blunder on their first day of membership, or even as their first post, they probably won't ever be constructive. Still, if it was a blunder or misconception about the rules I wouldn't mind forgiving them. It's case-by-case so it's very hard to make a generalization.
 
Re: Banned member fo month for...

My thing is, if you ever have a reason to cuss at an administrator, keep it to yourself, because one: My site is supposed to be kid friendly, no porn, etc. Two: it's just generally uncalled for if they deny admin perms. Those are for trusted members, not someone who just joins.
 
Re: Banned member fo month for...

I would do a permanent ban. On 99% of forums out on the Internet, flaming staff or members is not allowed. So a definet permanent ban would be necessary.
 
Re: Banned member fo month for...

For minor things a warning first would be ok.

For something as serious as this a permanent ban from forum and server.

LMAO. Must be some form of internet troll. Otherwise he wouldn't have said it. He would'nt have even asked. :lol:
 
Re: Banned member fo month for...

Banning a user is too easy..torture them with modifications 😀
 
Re: Banned member fo month for...

Just use their IP address and start spamming forums with a new account using their IP for forums they are members on. :lol:
 
Re: Banned member fo month for...

How is one supposed to use someone else's IP address? 😵 Please do explain. Not possible.
