I didn't even realise there was that much trouble still on TiBB. I'm so unaware of anything now

Which is a shame really because regardless of what some may think we don't enjoy banning people but if that's the way it has to be to stop certain members disrupting the forum or ruining it for others then so be it.

..it could be a separate rule thing just for the chat threads, so that only one warning is given and then a fixed ban for anyone involved if that doesn't have any effect..and that way, those who are respecting the thread and others in the thread, will still be able to carry on and use it...

can we name names as to who was causing the trouble?

no point that being a mystery to other members

I heard Ammi was plotting to egg TiBB Towers with Sticks as her accomplice.

Its the same people that ruin it for everyone constantly.

can we not just stop them posting in that thread possibly? like banning people from posting in specific sub-forums for a bit to cool them down? it's ruining it for the mass at the moment

That would be a good idea actually if it's possible. Sometimes things get a bit heated and people say things in the moment, which fair enough maybe they shouldn't, but it's just what happens sometimes. It would save the mods banning people and keep the chat open for everyone else so win/win?

Far be it from me to agree with Jay but he is absolutely right. I am tired of the excuse that the few spoil it for the many on here. The last few times the chat has been shut down, there are no new names added to the ban list, and we have no idea who was interacted or warned for their behaviour. There are 50 some odd people who have posted in the current chat thread, and about 40 of those are regular posters or viewers of it. I really don't see why all those people get punished for a night where two or three are arguing and the rest of us have no control or part of it.

I agree with greater weighted infractions or bans if that is the case. What is the purpose of the infraction system if 40 people receive punishment for the actions of 3-4.

Normally generally speaking they get closed when a mod thinks they're big enough could be anywhere between 3000-5000 posts really. When it's decided to close the thread, those posting in the Chat thread usually decide amongst themselves who will start the new one and it's started pretty much as soon as the old one is closed

The reason they get closed when they get too big is that bigger threads can slow the forum a bit I think

oh i did not know that

With the chat thread in question its more a case of the many ruining it for a few.

There was a name added to the ban list last night too but no one else needs to know who was warned or infracted for their behaviour that's between the members in question and the admins/mods.

That threads staying closed for the foreseeable future because it's constant in there between a large amount of the regular members, not just one or two.

One name added doesn't account for the same people constantly, or even for the many ruining it for the few

I have no infractions for posting in there, although I have several accusations against me. I wasn't asking to know who was infracted, but I am asking for the people responsible to get proper punishment, and let the rest of us get on with it. It's actually a fun thread 90% of he time, and it wouldn't be so popular if it wasn't.

I know that, I was replying to your comment saying nothing was added to the ban list. Well it was.

With all due respect Mokka, maybe you find it fun 90% of the time but then you aren't seeing all of the reports, arguments that get deleted when you arent there and so on, like we do.

No, you are right, I am not. And I wouldn't want to do the job of you or the mods for all the tea in China, but that doesn't change the fact that it is the most used thread on here by the most people during off season and it wouldn't be so if people didn't like it. Maybe higher rate of use equates to higher amounts of complaints... but throwing out the baby with the bathwater seems like a poor solution to the problem imo.

But it isn't in the private section... and because of things that happened prior to the private section being created, I will continue to abstain from using it.
