Right - so I can guess why I got banned the other day. No big deal. However, how come Your too lazy to leave a message in the ban message about why I was banned? Too much to ask for?

Mods here never sent a PM about why you were banned... They are so insensitive Sad

Wait you didn't even get the message why you're banned?! Confused

Now that's kinda rude...

Mods/Admins are not here to be polite to those who break the rules, they're here to make the forum better for those who don't.

If you want politeness, don't break the rules, its not a hard concept.

Cmon! What the the fuck happened to common sense?
Does it really take that long to tell why you banned? Also, unless you tell it will surely happen again. So please mate, dont get me that bullshit. Sounds like your drunk with power.

You already stated you knew what you did wrong, it was the first thing you said. If it was that obvious then surely there is very little need in it being pointed out. Mods/Admins will always provide a reason for a ban should it be required, but obvious abuse/links/trolling will tend to be met with a straight up ban.

Lets keep the "sounds like your drunk on power" stuff out of this as its the common go to line whenever someone feels like they've been treated unfairly, when in reality it is rarely the case. Mods/admins are here to do a job, politeness does not come into that job but fairness does. If you do feel like you where treat unfairly then the correct course of action is to PM a mod/admin and ask for help, doing that will see the problem solved as best as it can be. Creating a thread accusing people of being impolite and power mad will only lead to a pointless argument and no resolution.

I'm always happy to push through complaints and get an answer back to the user. For the record, it wasn't me who banned you.

Well letting someone know why they were banned is a common sense, that way you won't do the same mistake again and get banned... again xD

Indeed, although like I said in the post above, at times rule breaks are very clear (the person acts knowing they will be banned) and in these circumstances reasons are generally not given.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that is the case here as I was not the one who banned Ankh, I'm simply trying to explain what I believe the reason to be, as I've said, if the user feels they where treated unfairly there is a correct process for making that complaint known.

The point is that its not the first time You skip informning people with why they've been banned.

I said i THINK i know why I got banned. And tbh the reason I got banned doesnt really matter now. But what does matter is that its really bad modding if you cant even take the 3-4 seconds it takes to inform why somebody was banned.

I have no idea who banned me so why the hell should I post a specific mod? And also, its not about my actual banning..its more about why this keep happening (the leaving out the reason for a ban). Screw the reason why I got banned - explain to me why its so hard to take those seconds writing up the reason in the first place.

Unless you havent noticed - this IS the site feedback section. And Im leaving my feedback. Just cos You think its unpleasant feedback it doesnt really make it less important.

I concider it drunk with power - and ive got the right to do so.

There you go.

So never mind my ban - keep it on the subject of why its so hard to inform people why they got banned.

Mods should also know that some mods bans people for stuff other mods don't. There is no question that a fucking explanation should be given when someone has been banned for something. If this is a too hard task for some mods, then perhaps modding isn't really suited for them.

I don't concider me being treated unfairly. Cos If I got banned cos of what I think was the reason...it was worth it since thats how I think about that subject.
You seem to missing the point - its not about my specific banning. Its about how You handle banning.

*shrug* I've told you what to do if you want a resolution, you want to keep being angry thats cool by me, lets see if the person who banned you decides to reply. May I suggest that rather than putting all this effort into being pissy about not being given a reason, put the same effort into not breaking the rules in the first place.

As for this section, it relates to the website itself not the 'staff', that is why its called site feedback.

Different people handle bans in different ways and as Kenny points out different mods also have different opinions on what is worth a ban. The reason I'm telling you to contact a mod via PM is so these things can be taken to the mod section and discussed to try and bring a uniform resolution, very few mods will come check this section for complaints about them, more so when they're filled with a thousand pissed off members jumping on the bandwagon.

As I've said reasons are given more often than not. I will go back and look at your bans to see if I can see a pattern about the reasons not being given.

I don't know why you've been banned a number of times without reason, I will look into it (although I would have done so from the start if you had of PM'd me rather than creating this thread bitching Wink).

The staff are also members, they actively post in other sections and things like this can make that far far harder for us to contribute on the same level as the users (anger, resentment, etc..) which is why we don't want problems being handled in this section.

Since the December 2008 you've been banned 3 times. Both of the other times you where provided a reason, so I'm not really sure what the issue is. Here are the reasons:

12 Dec 2010 - "Muslims out."
01 May 2010 - "Use the useless void for your useless threads."

I should note that the reason for ban explanations being so small is due a limitation on the ban box, not through laziness of the mods/admins.

the thing is [sYn] the lack of watching the watchers makes staff power hungry cocks ... i know about what i am talking about i got more BANS and PERMA BANS here then BOUNDLE

The MEMBER Ban window should be:
Code:
Forum Reason for a Ban [Rule] :
Who baned you :
For what in the Moderator sense justifies this ban:
What post banned you :
BANED for how long :


NOT LIKE THIS :
Code:
Your Banned for [mod pressed SPACE to lazy to write a reason] , baned for 34h


The TEXT window should force EACH STAFF THAT BANS to write a comprehensive text in it , A FUCKING PROPER TEXT not "YOU know for what" "FUCK YOU" "I cared and you FUCK SHOULD DIE NOW" " " "fsdfysjbfksd" etc... i had those texts on my bans if thats not mental then some of the mod staff should check they heads


When NFORCE was NFORCE , this forum was a social "thing" about people playing games posting how to use the thumb technique for the G-spot and funny common day stories ... when the shit hit the fan and mods here became antisocial [not you man] example Jenifer and hers RAGE against anti-British pakis was ... and other incidents [editing users posts to justify Mods BAN] from a warm welcoming forum it became the 4chan of filth , it became another pirate gaming forum ... scaring away new users , scaring away the social aspect of this forum

this is my opinion if i will be banned for it then BE IT ...

Edit:
Laughing WOW
25 Aug 2008 TEMP banned for 1 minutes kajsdh asjkdh asja sd 12 lkjad8j da hj389 da,j oi12u d ndjq092n jdqliu2 nbq92

I tend to agree with you HFRIC, the fact is that people *can* become power hungry when given power as we have seen before. I personally don't think we currently have that issue, granted, I'm not all seeing and all knowing and I could very easily be missing something. But as I would hope you guys know I am always open to listening to anything and looking into it, just send me a PM.

I miss the old days, I hope one day we will get back there but there are steps to be taken by both the users and the mods in order to manage it.

As for the ban reason, I think that was The Saint messing around Razz.. until we realised that you couldn't do 1min bans and we had no way to undo them :\..

You seem to miss the point. My ban is actually unimportant (which kind of makes me wonder why he posted 2 earlier reasons why I got banned). The point is (which ive said several times) that people should get a reason why they get banned rather than just "your banned until" ..
