Wax Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I was reading some older comments on threads from about a month ago, and I noticed some of the users on it had parts of their profile edited so that it heavily implied they'd been banned. For example, I've seen a user title where instead of 'Member' it says 'Banned,' or I've seen profile pictures with big red Xs through them. Yet, when I go onto their profile it says their profile is in good standing and their reputation is excellent. Are they joking that they've been banned? And is there one definitive way to tell if a profile has been banned or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
root Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I'm confused about it too. I know there's a Banned group but it doesn't have every banned person from the looks of it. I assumed that maybe the X avatars was something automatic added to one of the forum updates, but I'm not sure. (That Dragoneer account is gold) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willow Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 The reputation thing is the amount of likes the user had and being banned doesn't affect that users with X's or the word 'Banned' in their profile are permanently banned though. we're doing that because there is really no way to tell when someone is banned here.

I don't know what extent of power the mods have, but you could just change their user title to "banned" or "banned user", if that's an option.

DrGravitas Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Might I suggest the title "On Ice" for temp bans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Just chiming in to say, yes, we now add X's to permabanned member's avatars. Temp bans? Nah, if they're only like a couple days that'd be silly. The only way to tell a person is permabanned is that Red X on a person's ava- so red xs on regular avas are probably a no-go nowadays. Who knows, probably gonna go on the next SOTU.

Spot Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 That Dragoneer one is epik. I wonder if it was Pastry or Zara that started it, seems like their style. So what happened to that General Lee guy? It was an alt account, wasn't it? I'm guessing Eversleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to do some digging later If it's a user group, like Moderator or Administrator, weren't those people just assigned to that group instead of the Member group? It's probably not that simple, but that's just what it seems like considering it comes up as a search term. 20 minutes ago, 6tails said: I've got a PM here on this forum from him that explicitly states "Welp, I guess my gig is up." very shortly before he got banned. I'm taking that as a on-the-sly admission he was around for ulterior motives. Yikes. Christ only knows what he was doing here. That's super creepy when I think about it.

I know of a couple of people who removed their avatar and I can assure you they deserve a lot more respect than being called whiny bitches or ragequitters by a couple of forum edgelords. Unwarranted shit, this is what yours is. Those are good folks and I will not tolerate seeing them being called names unfairly. Did any of them mistreat you somehow? No? Then watch your mouth. Of course you could go on insulting people for no good reason and by that point I will have the full right to call you a shithead, and now excuse me for being defensive over those I appreciate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only editing to people's stuff the mods do is adding the red X on their avatar and adding "Banned" in their user title. And, as an addendum for the cheekier of users, I just wanna go on record and say for folks not to add "banned" or a red x on your avatar. Thanks. Folks who remove their avatars have voluntarily decided to leave. This isn't hotel california; people can move to and from here freely without worry of judgement, y'all.
