Bring back the permaban
 

The old "three strikes and your out system"

It'd get rid of a lot of the constant annoyances on this forum

No thanks.

The 'three strikes and you're out' system combined with the amount of punishments being given out at the moment would be an absolute disaster.

The entire forum would be banned, practically.

This place would be empty lol.

I do think once people have got a 1 day ban though.. it should be extended if they do something else to 3 days - 1 week.
Which i think ill do.

You said it as if it was the Death penalty LOL

Im still an infraction virgin? Am I the only one?

Not really, I got banned with another account with that rule.

I'm just bored of seeing certain members coming back and complaining about themselves being banned

I think after 3 bans it should be a permaban

no - its too final.

The bans will just keep getting longer until they realise they are being stupid.

Indeed, a ban is more of a warning then, rather than a punishment

can you do it a year longer everytime?

It's like the death penalty really. Not needed.

As I said, this place would be dead...which is what it'll be this time next year anyway.

Me too, never had one.

Just lenghten the existing bans, like James said. That seems to make sense. If you had a permabanhammer [did I just say that?] then nobody would be left.

tbf people would be left.

Just the boring ones tbh.

I suppose :p

I AGREE.

Obviously they're not to be given out flippantly but after a series of 24 hours, 48, 1 week then I think a perma ban is appropriate. and the place wouldnt be empty because the vast majority of members are mature enough to act accordingly after the first ban.

Some members are just taking the piss now.

I'd be very interested to hear what your definition of boring is Patrick.

I find your Avatar highly offensive.

For all we know that could be Madona in your Avatar.
Just saying.

This forum has been dead yesterday and today until all this started tonight.

Good to see i missed nothing then as i didnt get on for 2 days.

That is Betty Page, she is an icon.
