A question about banning

[DavidC]

I'm just curious as to whether someone who's been banned by a mod is banned from posting in only one forum, or banned from all of them.

Banned in all, so the moral is: Stay on [censored]'s good side.

This was a question that was brought up frequently in the initial [censored] blitz. People were wondering if posters could be banned simply from posting in OOT and IIRC, the answer was that the forum software could only allow a user to be banned, not to be banned from posting in one particular forum.

Yes, but I believe [censored] has banned people from OOT via a PM telling them to leave OOT or be banned completely if they post here again. I could be wrong though.

This is correct.

BTW, the fact that this question really needs to be asked is a sign of how far we've fallen towards a High School mindset here. Goodbye OOT, funeral for a friend.

I'm pretty sure that rule #1 of Ban Club is you do not talk about Ban Club.

quite honestly, the Halloween avatar Stuey suggested freaks me the hell out. I might change it to that for a bit though /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I think the fact it freaks you and everyone else out, is a good reason to use it.

hey rich

i dont think it is so much as being on [censored]'s good side as it is just making posts that fit into the sticky faq guidelines. although, making a bad post would lead to being on [censored]'s bad side so i guess its all the same.

[Richard Tanner]

I respectfully disagree, I think OOT has sadly become about what [censored], TSC, El D, and their ilk think is funny and to hell with all else. THe thing is I agree with them on alot of things, I just disagree with enforcing taste as a bannable offense, which I believe I see now, and if not now, soon.

while i largely agree with these sentiments, i'm slowly realizing that the frequent discussion of this topic most likely won't change anything and will only serve to further stroke those egos. from now on, i'm going to try to just just bite my tongue and wait this pogrom out.

[Richard Tanner]

I honestly hope that [censored] is doing all this with the best interest of OOT in mind, but I'm worried by what I see. Of course the lesson in all of this is "It's only an internet forum", so I don't think the occasional deep breath would hurt any of us.

That post was a great example of the clutter that needs to be removed from OOT, not conflicting senses of humor.
