Concerning Banning

[Dave Herald]

Please make a note of this.  If you are banned from this board, you may never be allowed to be on here again.  Unlike Razzberry, where usernames are banned, this board system bans the ISP number.  Or basically put, if you're banned, you can't come back on here as another user.

So now we have to be extra, EXTRA carefull about what we say on here  ;D

I have a question:

If you get banned on one computer, go to another computer, get a new screen name, and post on the old one again will you be banned again  

[pettyluv]

^^How bout working on not getting banned  ;D hehe...I dont know as soon as he noticed you'd probaly get banned.

<<If you get banned on one computer, go to another computer, get a new screen name, and post on the old one again will you be banned again>>  

I know of one Razzer who did that on Razzberry, and still hasn't been caught. But I'm assuming as soon as you're caught on these boards, you'll automatically be banned, even if you haven't caused any trouble.

How exactly do you get banned? What things in particular

[sunny.side.up]

I don't think it's fair that you'll get banned *forever*...   I think that everyone should be given at least *1* second chance!

All right, question for our friendly neighborhood admin...

What gets somebody banned? What discussion is there, and who with? Does how helpful they have been to the community have any effect on the decision to ban? I ask because it seemed like there were a lot of really smart, really insightful razzers who got banned for 1 comment on Razzberry, and that bugged me.

I agree with Esther. There should be second chances and warnings.

So enlighten us!

[pettyluv]

I havent seen Midnight around for a little bit...but I could assume that you will be banned if you break the TOS severely.  I agree that it would be a good idea to have a "three strikes you're out" system like was the theoretical method at Razz.  But we will see.

[Dave Herald]

Okay, if you go to another computer and sign up as another user, yes you will be banned immediatly if I catch on to it.

____________________________________________________

You get banned by breaking the TOS.  And no, I'd rather not do the "three strikes" thing.  Here it depends on just how much trouble I have with you.  Some examples are...

Tyinderenda messes up about every other month.  He will most likely NOT be banned.

But, Itequter goes and every day of life she goes and cusses users out.  She WILL be banned.

Simply put, it depends on how often you mess up, and the severity of what you do.  I do not believe the "three strikes method" should be used on someone who messes up like about 2 or 3 times a year.  I do not find it that to be fair.  You will be sent at least one warning though before being banned.

[retardedchick]

Tyinderenda and Itequter? Hey, unique names, I like them!  

[horsesalltheway]

Ya... Lol, those are unique names.  ;D You may have already answered my question midnight, but I didn't catch it anywhere... Could you give us a list of things that you will ban for? Like are you banning for fluffing or very occasional cussing?

:-*NiKKi

[Dave Herald]

In general you will be banned for breaking the TOS.  And if any other mods have posted rules on the boards they are in charge of, these need to be followed too (before following rules, see if they were modified by me first-if they are changed by me I will make a post in the same thread as the rules).  

About unbanning-I strongly believe there is a such thing, but I do not gaurntee this.

[KattyKatie]

I am requesting an un-ban on my name snowbunny. I never broke the TOS, but I was still banned. Please let me back in!

[Ruby Spark]

Where exactly is the TOS.  I can't seem to find it on the boards.  Or maybe I missed it since it's late and I'm a little sleepy.  Please point me in the right direction.  Thanks.
