The Ban List

[Locke.]

Right, this thread is just to get peoples opinions and not to start any arguments or anything, so do not lock it.

Do you think the ban list should be brought back?

[Jordan.]

Yes

[Smithy]

Yes, mods said people complain when people are banned but i haven't seen a single case of that

[Josy]

I'm a Mod and I'm not allowed to vote in this poll.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Definately

[Lewis.]

What is it again?

[Benjamin]

I'm a Mod and I'm not allowed to vote in this poll.

I'm also a mod and I'm not allowed to vote in this poll.

[Locke.]

What is it again?

A thread where the mods post the reasons for people being banned.

[Smithy]

I'm a Mod and I'm not allowed to vote in this poll.

I'm also a mod and I'm not allowed to vote in this poll.

yet you both did :nono:

[Omah]

:thumbs:

[Lee.]

Yes I do :)

[Vicky.]

Yes, mods said people complain when people are banned but i haven't seen a single case of that

The house lot were the worst for it...sure you have seen it :/

[Josy]

Are you having a laugh Smithy?

Check out the quiz thread and the chat threads...........

[Josy]

I think the ban list was scrapped because the appeals forum is there now, it lets the person who is banned find out why, if they don't already know, there is no need for other members to know the reason anyway its just plain nosyness imo.

[Smithy]

Yes, but they don't make threads complaining, which is what was implied, and the fact y'all had to use the quiz thread (which only happened today) means it doesn't happen often :nono:

[Chuck]

Bring it back, Im nosy and wanna know why Shaun is banned.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Omg banned members can vote on polls :shocked:

[MeMyselfAndI]

It's a forum, we like to be nosy.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Bring it back, Im nosy and wanna know why Shaun is banned.

He made a multiple account

[Locke.]

So... 100% of members want it back.

James you fancy yourself as a bit of a people pleaser, get this sorted :nono:

[Smithy]

It's alright you saying that, you can see why they're banned, it'd be different if you weren't a mod :nono:

Plus tbh, the only reason I want it back is so that we can see when the banned members are back

[Jordan.]

If you weren't mods you'd be the same http://www.greendaycommunity.org/Forum/public/style_emoticons/Dark/hmph.png

[Chuck]

He made a multiple account

Omgz his last post was:

i'm leaving the site

He knew he would get banned by making a multiple account, so maybe he did mean it :bawling:

[CharlieO]

Mods calling members nosy??

Im sure all the mods revel in the fact they have TIBB Towers and can see edited posts.

[Benjamin]

I'm not going to lie, I am nosy and curious by nature. But the ban list holds no puropse anymore now that we have the appeals section.

[MeMyselfAndI]

It was in a weird jokey way I think, like because he called you Scott lol

[Locke.]

Let us see other peoples appeal sections then :bored:

It wasnt funny at all :bored:

No it defeats the purpose.

[Niall]

I want the ban list back. It would save other members having to bother mods about why others are banned in the first place imo. :|

[MB.]

Scott voted in the mod section :p

[Stu]

What on earth has the ban list got to do with the appeals section? They serve two entirely different functions.

To be honest despite being apathetic to forum drama myself and not really getting the whole obsession over who is banned and why I do think using this thread would make things a lot easier. If everyone could view who is banned, why they are banned and for how long they are banned you wouldn't get them festering in other threads asking these same questions prompting others to say 'it's none of your business'.

Also ... that Jeff Bridges .gif is glorious.

Might just be me being Mr Thicky here but how does the appeals section, which only the relevant individual members and staff can see, negate the desire for a banned list which would also help reduce the amount of posts asking why is **** banned and for how long?

I was more on about the fact with the banned member seeing the list and the appeals section so we don't need it. :blush:

In theory.

But nah, it doesnt when put in practice unfortunately. Just makes people ask different questions too. For example...XXX has been banned for a week : insulting PMs. You then get 'oh well the PM couldnt be that bad' 'who did they PM' 'stupid bitch probably deserved it' etc etc

[bbfan1991]

Yes because it details the reasons why a member got banned:).

[MTVN]

It definitely needs to be brought back, the members should have a right to know when someone else has been banned, and for what reason & for how long. It's pretty unfair to say that we have no right to know any of this stuff considering that banning a member does have an effect on the forum and as the banning of Shaun shows it can be a significant one. It's more courtesy than anything, as it is creates a bit of a rift between members & mods imo where apparently it's none of our business to know why a Mod might suddenly have thought that someone who may be regular poster now requires a ban

[InOne]

I demand to know why and how long people are banned for no particualr reason at all.

[mycarImissu]

I don't think it should be brought back because they didn't ever have a ban list on the channel 4 forums, it's more fun this way. I guess looking at the results so far I'am the only one so far who thinks this

[MeMyselfAndI]

you have 0 posts fgs and know none of the members

[MTVN]

This is strange :suspect:

[Beastie]

Yes. Bring it back.

So we are informed that a member is banned and for how long!

Instead of the same old "why is so and so banned".

If mods are too scared to post in the ban list then just get James or someone to post in it every time a member gets banned!

[Beastie]

Where is the appeals section please? :S

This is strange :suspect:

I've got the cynical head on. :suspect:

To be honest: I'm in the minority here. I think the ban list should be only for perma bans.

I'll use me as an example: I tend to be a feisty poster, who will fight my corner as and when.

Some may regard me as being argumentative, when my own perspective is that will put my opinions up, possibly in a blunt, no nonsense way: and that is a posting style some simply do not like or appreciate.

If I was temp banned and the reason for my ban was posted: that would give other members with whom I do not get on with at all, a reason to try then to deliberately 'antagonise' with their own replies to any posts I make - knowing that I will defend and debate till the cows come home..... and when they feel it's time - they can hit the report button citing 'being argumentative' - when it may not necessarily the case.

But as I have been seen as being so on the ban list: it could be any easy way of being 'targeted' (for want of a better word) with no other reason than to be able to hit the 'report' button on me - due to more a personality clash, rather than any valid 'rule break'.

It also gives rise to 'chums' then possibly ganging up on who they think got their pal banned etc, causing unnecessary friction on the forum - making things very personal.

For that reason, I think the ban list should be there only for permabans.

If people are that chummy with each other: they will have each others email addresses/ msn/ other means of contacting the temp banned member to establish how long they were banned for.

I know..... me feisty.....:o where that idea arose from, I have no idea.

Life is such an enigma at times.:D

[Redway]

I say "bring it back".

What is the need of the third option?

Anyway, I recently got banned for asking why a user had been banned. Stupid thread, though, tbh.

I know that we shouldn't really be nosy, and it's nothing to do with us, but we would like to know whether our forum friends are the right people to mix with!! Also, I'm just plain curious!!! :hugesmile:

[Zippy]

Pyramid just had to be different, right? And feisty? Well thats a very flattering way of putting it....no surprise its your own way of putting it.

And of course it should have been brought back. Wanting to know why somebody is banned/punished/absent is perfectly natural for any community. It's hardly top secret info threatening national security so I see no reason whatsoever not to post the details.

Not like we're asking for their address or identity. We only want to know why they were banned!

[Shaun]

stop bumping this :( I keep thinking people have been banned and rush to Announcements for gossip.

[Vicky.]

stop bumping this :(

Agreed.

Its back now so the thread is quite pointless, and no doubt due an argument soon :tongue:

[Iceman]

So we were all talking about how busy it get's when BB comes and how the Ban's tend to happen more often so we came up with a compromise for the Ban List. A new Ban List thread will be posted and at a certain time each night I or any other Moderator or Admin will update it, it wont be done as soon as the person is banned, rather a set time.
