Oh yeah, it will be because staceys permaban came from a huge infraction. And I did tommys and stephs straight from the control panel. Some people do it different ways, has the same end result...except for what it says under their name. Personally I just find it easier to straight out ban than go through filling out all the crap we need to do for an infraction

Permabans are always announced in the ban list anyways, so people know they are not coming back at all.

I thought Stacey was banned because of the type of unacceptable thing she did,(ie: I thought taking pics off here etc and using them elsewhere was a straight ban outright, not ifs or buts). rather than a build up of infractions - but that's not for me to questionj.

From other members point of view - it makes it difficult to determine what the actual status of a member actually means then, without going searching on another thread to find out.

Thanks for the explanation.

She was.

But you can permanently ban people one of two ways. You can go through the admin control panel and give them a straight out ban. Or give them 999+ infraction points in one go.

That seems completely insane. Only my opinion but it seems crazy to give someone XXXXX infraction points - that will bring them to permaban status - rather than outright permaban. (I 'get' what you are saying Vicky, but I personally don't think it makes sense).

As I say, it's more the 'status' that shows under the names I was questioning, which you've answered so thanks for that.

Both of them equal a perma ban, I really don't see why you would have an issue with that

I didn't know both of them equalled a perma ban.... that was precisely why I was asking the question - as the status of members isn't altogether clear. It's been answered so I'm not sure why I'm getting what 'feels' like aggro for asking a question.

You and Vicky have answered - so thanks for that.

Honestly...what difference does it make what the status is?

And I really dont get how it is 'crazy' to give someone 999 infraction points to permanently ban them either. As I said, personally I just go via control panel, but some prefer to do everything by infraction. Maybe so that there is records of the actual reason given to the user...and put where admin can see it, so that someone cant turn round and say bias about it.

Because it's a question that I wanted to ask, it was something I was unclear of.

I am allowed an opinion surely - and I made it clear why I was asking. It's nothing to do with 'bias' Vicky. As Jords also explained - they too can understand what I mean in a consistent status being used.

It was only a question - which has been answered, for which I thanked you for doing so Vicky.

All I meant was that some people prefer doing things by infraction so that there is record of exactly what they said to the member, and admin can see it if problems occur over it all. I was just pointing out how its not really crazy to want to do it that way.

Actually, it makes more sense to do it that way than the way I do it, thinking about it
