Mod Q&A Thread II

[ABright5]

Technically they can, but they just get a screen which tells them they are banned, and they can't view anything else.

So in effect, they can't really log in, but physically, they can.


Also, if they do log in, their name doesn't come up on the "who's online" section at the bottom of the main page.

That's interesting, I thought I'd seen banned members on the "who's on now" place before... it just says "________", and the letters are the same color as the background.

I've seen that too, and they were on for a while too. it was rather weird..

 

[Dernhelm]

The old posts of banned members do stay up, assuming that they are not individually deleted, so those posts might be what you're seeing.

 

[Olórin the Wise]

No, we were talking about seeing banned members on the Who's On Now list. (At the bottom of the main page, you know.)

 

[Dernhelm]

Oh, arg. Sorry. Comes of being in a hurry.

Do banned members have any warning before they're banned?

 

[PrinceOfTheWest]

A true member will get lots of warnings before being banned. "False members", which are artificial accounts created by spam bots for the purpose of posting spam on the forum, are banned without comment.

How do you know? We have our ways, we mods. The inimitable Magister Eveningstar is a master at figuring out the wicked ways of spambots.

Can you be banned un-permanently? Like for a week or a month or something/

Yes, Members can be banned for almost any amount of time. It's really up to our discretion and how long we think the person needs to be banned for.

'Hey, Lieke posted yet another insult, and i just had a fight with my mom, 6-years-BAN!'

Do mods like cookies?

I don't know about the rest of them, but I sure do.

Hey chels, what's up with the reputation box. How does one get it to be green? and why so few people have it?

 

[I love both]

is anyone still here?

If your reputation box is green, that means you have an unread reputation, I believe...if your box is not lit up (like mine haha) then you either do not have any reputations, or you have no unread ones.

is anyone still here?

I think I'm still here...are YOU still here?

 

[Midnight Rider]

Is there really a Mod Lounge?

 

[Olórin the Wise]

Don't ask... they'll keep you wondering with dark hints for the rest of your life. Trust me.

 

[*IOWW the Iasc*]

...No, there isn't. *nods* (it has purple curtains and a sticky soda machine with something living behind it...I had to try to clean it, because I'm the newest mod. )

Don't ask... they'll keep you wondering with dark hints for the rest of your life. Trust me.

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Yes, trust Lauren. He's gotten the most dark hints of them all.
