Forum Ban while Banned?
« on: April 12, 2009, 11:10:20 AM »
Just wanted to see everyone's thoughts on this. I've heard Jitspoe has done this before, but just wondering what everyone thinks about it. Post your opinions :P

Why? You have nearly no chance to prove your innocence then.

With this added? No, that wouldn't work very well, it would be rather unreasonable, actually.

I can recall one time when jitspoe did that, and the person was asking for it by saying that being banned on the forum was worse than being banned in the game, and went on and on about how it was the only thing that would teach them a lesson.

How many cases have there been where someone was banned and was actually innocent? Anyways it was just a thought.

If your banned from in game hacking you should be banned from the forums. I think this would be good for the community and might even get the hacking count down.

A lot, actually. Sometimes people get banned because their IP hits a range set by jitspoe. They complain about it, jitspoe sees it wasn't them cheating, and he takes the range off.

Well I mean say they can be allowed to post in Help in Support. That should be able to solve their problems if there banned for their ip when they didn't hack. But for me I don't really find it neccessary for them to have access to other forums. Maybe I'm wrong but I agree with Clipz.

I think the cheating/committee sections would be better suited for that, they can prove their innocence and read the stickies if they're not innocent. It's not a bad idea, but the original way you worded it just made it seem as if there would be zero exceptions.

-1, unless they did something wrong in the forums they shouldn't be banned.

Well I say no. I'm banned at the moment but I still want to contribute to the community; maps, answering questions etc.
I want to help out the community in anyway possible, if thats being banned from the forums, go for it. I personally think I'd be more worth to this community then a lot of people that aren't actually banned in-game.

Agreed. People who are banned usually come on forums and like Rick help and answer questions. And like Rick is making map, it's good to get acces to the forums.

+1. There are some people who wouldn't contribute anything useful online, but there are some people like Rick who are really useful. They can help answer questions that maybe no-one else could answer and stuff like that.
So in reply to the original question: -1.

I agree with sherman0207 "if you have not done anything wrong in the forums than you should not be banned from them" only the game. Or what you could do is have a forum section for people to convince there ban like court, the banned person types his/hers statement and have committee member vote like a jury.
