Foo - Ever read the banned user list...

And wonder how many points you have on your BF license as it were?

I never passed the license exam.

Yes.

all those kids that have been called into the assistant principal's office...

no.

Got some warnings but no
points and/or suspensions, yet :innocent:

LoL they actually tell you when they "warn" you?

You would know if you have points.

I get a kick out of members requesting voluntary banning.

I got a warning was but the points were removed with good behavior, ass-kissing and some spooning with a certain mod who will remain nameless.

You made out with Billy D?!!!

I heard it was lowcel

Your points will be visible to you and the moderation team only.

Oh yes of course we do. You will get a PM from the issuing moderator with option to protest it with an administrator. Usually one gets a nice PM first. If the same actions continue, you get an official PM warning which you will see on your profile. After that if it continues, you get an infraction. Three infractions will give you a one week ban. Infractions do expire and the dates are shown on your profile as well.

For someone to be permanently banned, they REALLY have to do a lot of damage to the community. I mean pages and pages of infractions.

Keep in mind that before any action is taken, it is discussed amongst other moderators to come to an appropriate resolution. Sometimes we WILL reverse an infraction if you give reason why it should not have been administered and it is reasonable.

In watching the actions of others, some may question why a person is temporarily banned (because they have not seen the offending posts) but the chances of leaving the reason (posts that are in violation of the forum guidelines) still posted publicly is nil.

Mean, nasty, threatening and derogatory PMs also will earn one an infraction if it violates the forum guidelines.

Your points will be visible to you and the moderation team only.

;) I do my best to stay civil on here, but I read the list and think to myself.. gee wasn't my last post similar to what that guy got a temp ban for? Thanks for the inside view though Siu!

Hmm only got suspended once, kind of a surprise, some admin wanted to play night in shinning armor role, and a member didn't like the truth. :lol:

Funny, I don't remember any of that so I looked at your profile and it is clean. Are you sure it was on here?

The posts that the person got banned for are never posted on the banned users thread nor is there a link to the thread in which it is contained. So it's hard for me to understand how you know what exactly someones banning post is.

We leave basic reasons for the banning such as accumulation of points (one warning and three infractions or three infractions), high maintenance (which means we have spent a very large amount of time on a member's actions), etc.

That really is hilarious.

I got a warning once... but it was a long time ago.

rookies

getting a PM giving you a heads up that something you posted wasn't acceptable isn't a warning
A warning is recorded on your profile under the "infractions" tab.
You will get a PM that looks like this:


Dear joebananna,

You have received a warning at Bike Forums.

Reason:
-------
Inappropriate Language

Please allow the site censor software to do its work. If you want to discuss what words are censored on BF, I suggest you PM Tom Stormcrowe. Under no circumstances is it acceptable to misspell a word to bypass the censor.
Please consider this rule while drafting future posts.
Regards,
Eric, a BF moderator

Warnings serve as a reminder to you of the forum's rules, which you are expected to understand and follow.

All the best,
Bike Forums

The banned user thread has always been one of my favorites. "Hey everybody, let's go over to Bobby's house! He's getting a whipping!"

I'm not sure how many points I have, but I have been banned before.

I see reasons like crossposting/spam/ or some other insert obnoxious behavior in here and I wonder to myself how fine the line is, does that make more sense?

Then I guess I haven't had a warning. So much for being a rebel. :(

Go to your profile, if you don't have an infraction tab then you don't have any warnings or infractions. Only you and the staff can see your infraction tab if it exists.

We are actually pretty lenient here, so a lot of it is based on how many times you do something or the severity. We let a lot of people slide because the moderation team really does not like to ban. And to make it even easier, the PM may have content to the point of telling you that one more time will result in us having to follow protocol - meaning, issue an infraction. So yes, you are usually pre-warned so the line should not be so fine.

Woo Hoo! I'm tab free!!

Have to check it daily and make sure that my name isn't on it... :)

I get a kick out of members requesting voluntary banning.

Yes.

Okay, I have to ask, why would someone request a banning?

Because they are finding Bike Forums a distraction. We usually will get it during finals or midterms.

I've never wondered where I am in relation to that, but I do frequently wonder how wild & crazy somebody gets to get banned. Lotsa sock puppets, I recall seeing.....

Yes.

Okay, I have to ask, why would someone request a banning?

Because they haven't the self control to JUST NOT POST I guess.

I'll bet there are drunks and coke users that make similar requests.

Well then, I guess I am not a BF rebel.

I told you.... the mod will remain nameless (*cough cough* SSFG *cough*)

Funny, I don't remember any of that so I looked at your profile and it is clean. Are you sure it was on here?

Yep. It was few years back. I think it happened in Roadie forum around 07. Still have message exchange with the ex-mod. The ex-mod still around, I don't think the other member is. Of course I am still here posting asinine things. :D

You sure that wasn't me? During a fight in Addiction I passed out a handful of 24 hour bans which don't show up on one's record.

Nope, and I got a week. I am an over achiever. :D

I guess its like Tropic Thunder, never go full re**** and you will stay out of trouble.

runs and checks.....yep, they do,

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewww!

Scrodzilla!

Yuck!

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewww!

Scrodzilla!

Yuck!
Wow, I didn't see that one coming.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Oh that was before the purge.

Well according to your present recorded record, you are an angel. *cough, gag, gak!* Yep. An angel indeed.

Because they haven't the self control to JUST NOT POST I guess.

I'll bet there are drunks and coke users that make similar requests.

Nothing quite that sinister for me. I just get sick of people.;)




Actually, I find it interferes with training motivation and if I can't post, I don't read so gave myself a time out.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewww!

Scrodzilla!

Yuck!

I will repeat that the mod will remain nameless and won't play process of elimination games, but will point out that Scrod is not the only mod SSFG has ever had. That does paint a picture, though, doesn't it?

I check the banned user list first thing every time I log on. Have to make sure I'm not on it.

Hey, not so touchy. I'm thinking of several other members mainly the foot doctor in KY.

I banned myself for a while and the issues resolved themselves, more or less, and it's cool. It is kinda funny, though, shucks, you just quit. I guess quitting tobacco, alcohol, cocaine, non-injected opiate by-products, self-destructive personal relationships and a major pot smoking thing before I ever ran across BF prepared me. One morning I would wake up and think "Damn. I had enough of that for a while" and stop. Tobacco was THE worst. Damn that was HARD 2 Q U I T.

Oh that was before the purge.

I checked and don't have an infraction tab, and don't have any friends either. Is that why I'm here?

I sent you a friend request. It was only out of pity, mind you, but I thought you should at least have the option.

The software didn't seem to like your requests, and asks you to try again after removing the chicken from your head. Or is that a duck?
