    I never had a problem with Doggy_Bot personally,
    Since we all know "teach and learn" originated in Canada!
    welcome back mate,
    Cheers!

    So...if you get banned you are allowed to come back under another username? I thought this wouldve caused problems in alot of cases, i know some forums just give you one chance.

    I suppose its good though if, like doggy bot, your coming back with a good attitude (not that you didnt have one before, i wouldnt know).

    unfortunately there are some ppl who are quite persistent (they can't keep away from here, or love us torturing them, or both). we don't mind if they play nice and 'turn a new leaf' but if they keep acting like babies....

    Thats fair enough. Hey creaky, theres programs that can temporaily change your ip address, what if a user had their ip address banned (i assume AD has that method?) and a user came back because they used a program liek that?

    Is there nothing yanyone can do? I saw it on a webpage and people had been spamming forums.

    billybob,
    aD never really uses IP bans because, if a user is using AOL then aD could possible ban 100 people instead of 1 as AOL switches IPs alot.

    ...and whilst that would save me a lot of time and hassle doing houskeeping around here, AD would lose a few too many posters :O

    I see! So, people using AOL have a static ip adress? thats a bit, insecure isnt it?

    So, if theres a person you wanted banned permanently, theres nothing you can do about it?

    they always stand out a mile (immaturity at the very least you see) so we don't even need anything very clever..

    In a very short space of time, one can easily see the difference between an act, and genuine rehabilitation. I have heard many and individual claim to have changed their ways, and out of the 15-20 who have said so in my short stay here, only [bold]xboxdevil[/bold] has really stuck to his promises. The rest end up showing their true colours sooner rather than later..

    What does it take to become a mod here? Do you apply or are you pickeD? Do members who have been banned previously still have a chance to be mods one day?

    You are correct. I used to get irritated at xboxdevil and his nonsense about Tupoc, but the posts that I have seen by him, since being reinstated, have been fine.

    But, then again, I don't get back here very often, anymore.
