Re: Baned???
 

What did they get banned for??

Re: Baned???
 

don't know that's why i'm asking??????

Re: Baned???
 

Removal man does not appear banned at the moment???

Had noticed about vorlon as well..... I feel confident that this is for our/forum's good... vorlon must have been a bit too naughty.. but would love to know what??

I have seen one or two names appear and be banned quickly because all they where doing is putting links on. Spamming I think they call it..

I am sure vorlon will be back :)

Re: Baned???
 

oh I see!! that explains it then.:rolleyes:

Re: Baned???
 

I am not going to get involved with why people on Accy web are being banned,just to say that on Burnley web we,ve had a load of Spammers on the site over the past few weeks, and unless you keep a grip on them they will flood the site.

Re: Baned???
 

I have known people be banned in the past for being generally unpleasant and offensive. Sometimes a ban seems to be imposed on a temporary basis and if one of your posts is deemed offensive (name calling, swearing or threatening) then people may use the report button on the message box and your post will go to the moderators forum. I don't think that members of Accyweb are banned just for the sake of it. Usually posts are reported and a joint decision of the moderators is made. Although we have some good discussions on here it is important to remember that this site is open to all ages and that sometimes language has to be toned down a bit..:D

Re: Baned???
 

Sometime I think the phrase “I am banned” in a member’s title is not always appropriate for what is actually going on. Take Removal-man for instance. Removal-man wasn’t really banned; he was on hold even though it said in his user title “I am banned”. What had happened is that removal-man had actually exposed a security flow in the forums. So for the time being he was put on hold, thinking that he had done some sort of a hack to get into the system and if that was the case then allsorts of unmentionable thing could have happen to our forums. But has it happens Roy managed to sort out the problem (less than 12 hours) and put it right thus proving that removal-man hadn’t in fact hacked the forums.
So really, many thanks go to removal-man for finding the fault.

Re: Baned???
 

Good job!! I wondered why removal man may have been banned? never seen anything that he done wrong so the mind was boggling, but great to hear that he will be back.:D

Re: Baned???
 

I presume Vorlon was banned for starting a thread about a moderator, although I thought it was more of a question but that's how it goes.

Re: Baned???
 

Whatever the reason was, what's done is done.

Let's just say that Spike missed me

Re: Baned???
 

Welcome back vorlon.....:)

Re: Baned???
 

Thank you!

Re: Baned???
 

welcome back VORLON;) been away for a few days and couldn't get to grips with what had happened but glad your back.

Re: Baned???
 

Your welcome.

Re: Baned???
 

Thank you to Slinky as well!

I had better say thank you in advance to everyone else; I don't want to upset anyone by not thanking them!

Re: Baned???
 

vorlon24 was only asking a question and I believe a sincere question at that.
But the sad fact is, that threads started about mods usually end up all going the same way by a minority of members whom for what ever reason, and there are plenty harbour some sort of gripe towards the mods and use these threads as vehicles to vent there frustrations and slag off the mods.
This is why it was made a banning offence to start threads about mods.

Glad to have you back vorlon24.

Re: Baned???
 

Surely it would be more efficient to ban the 'minority of users...' than people who want to discuss something in a sensible civilised manner? Otherwise it turns this forum into a dictatorship.

Mods do a good job( I am a mod on other boards) but I don't see myself as a dictator. If someone has an opinion as long as it is based on fact then I am happy for that opinion to live and breathe. If they break other rules around decency/language/behaviour then I will offer a chance to apologise. If they don't then they are shown the door.

Re: Baned???
 

Certainly, but what would happen if the minority was 49% of accyweb members, it isn’t but you never know. We would have to ban half of Accyweb.
To be honest thou, there are only the odd occasions when we may have to ban someone for what ever reason. But when we do, just look what happen.
I agree, neither do we. I agree, so do we. I agree. So do we, but some poelpe arn',t happy with that, they will come along and start telling you that you are behaving like a dictators or something, don't they? Hehe that’s what we get and it goes on and on.
This is another reason why we have banned threads about mods. Because everyone else seems to think their way of moderating would be much better, rather than yours. Then they start trying to tell you what they think you should be doing.
At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter who’s doing the moderating. People will still, given the chance have a dig at you because you’re probably not doing it the way that they think you should and there really isn’t any point in arguing the toss. We welcome any new suggestions/ feedback that members have to offer (we have a section for this) but when members start dictating, sorry I hate that word (dictating) but others chuck it around freely, I mean telling us what to do, then we get know where.
Just where does it end?
