What about a 'Sin Bin' for naughty members?

There has been a lot of chat recently about the number of people getting banned from Afterdawn.
It seems that some of you think the mods are far too eager to ban people rather than give them a warning.
So my suggestion is, 'what about a sin bin?
Members that cross the line for the first time get put in the sin bin (made inactive) for, say, 24 hours. Second time will get you a weeks ban.
If your stupid enough to break the rules again or cause trouble after that then you deserve to be banned for good.
So instead having 'inactive' under your nick the first time you upset people, it would say 'Sin Bin' and you would be given another chance. Then when you came back we could all make fun of you.
Lol

 

and what if a mod is stupid enough to ban you two times for nothing?

what kind of bin do you suggest for this kind of species?

looking forward to any useful suggestion ^_~

 

I'm with agent-k on this one, you don't get banned without good reason on here !

 

Yeah thats really stupid Uncas, the mods are smarter than you...

 

lol

sure thing



.... but who cares as long as jesus loves me *ggg*

 

I Agree with AK

Another Aust Internet forum i go to, they have a 'Penalty Box'

Here is a short snip of the top of the rules

Basically if you do something wrong, you get put in the Penalty box for x period, depending on what you did.

If it always happens, you basically get banned.

Oh no..!!!!

looks like it's gonna be back to 'newbie' status for me then.

Hehehe.

 

appreciate that you're trying to be funny here

see to it that my rebuilder guide gets deleted like i requested after i was banned from this dickhead flip and i will stfu in this forum

no way, dude

i was banned because some little wannabe-mod has mod rights

 

You mean Neph? *Just Kidding!*

Anyway, as safc_66 said:

@UncasMS_3, personally I would say if you keep up that attitude you will get banned again! Also, they have a special thing called "IP Ban" that makes it so your IP cannot connect to aD again if they need to they can (and sometimes do!) use it. I am not a mod, so I try not to act like one but, at times it is called for.

Peace,

sorry mate, but i couldnt care less

maybe THAT would affect you, but it certainly wont affect me ^_~

make yourself familiar with how ip addressing works apart from where you come from


and folks, dont get me wrong
i was neither referring to nip nor neph

flip pissed me off and i'm still waiting for my guide to be deleted that's all - no less no more

AD is quick when it comes to banning and doesnt give a fusk when it comes to removing something - this is what is wrong here in this forum

people like me get kicked in the butt for nothing but contributions i made are welcome and it seems nobody wants to delete this very posting

i dont accept it, that's all

and in case somebody bans my current nick again because of this thread, i guess i will spend some of my time and remove every single link to AFTERDAWN that i come across here:
**removed (we can do the same)**

 

personally, i don't think we need anything like a sin bin. rule breakers get warnings, and if they keep breaking rules, they are deserving of a ban. they either go away, or make a new account and come back. most of the time they learn their lesson, sometimes they don't and then get banned again. it seems kind of a waste to be to put more cush in the system and give rule breakers more slack. personally, i don't think enough people are getting banned. if they don't have the respect for AD and its members to read the very basic rules and follow them, they shouldn't be members.

 

lol i looked at nephs posts and he bans for the right reason, i wonder how sumone noes exactly when to ban sumone

P.S i think the penality box is a good idea, people can get a sense of wut the member is really like can *stalk* him/her until they do sumin really wrong

 

Ok, I am not going to say anything because I hate starting fights on the coolest forum on earth but I do have one thing I would like to mention:

I am kind of torn on this idea. On one hand, as Auslander said, the aD rules are very basic and straight foward (and a temp ban thing would put more strain on the system) but, on the other **some** people will learn their lesson if a "Ban box" comes into action.

My two cents,

It seems some people can't let things die. The only way to end something is not reply at all. I'm going to request this be closed before it gets ugly again.

It just never ends. For those wanting something removed from this site, you should PM dRD or Ketola directly and see if they can help.
