Why, does the staff hold grudges against banned people who would wouldn't mind paying to be unbanned?Quote:

It seems too much hassle for someone like me to pay in dollars
We don't hold grudges. At least I don't. We just don't want to send the message, "Hey don't worry if you smurf up, you can buy your way back in!".
right, like crash he was such a upstanding member of this comunity.Quote:

It will cost them to pay to return, and the staff can decide whether to accept the payment and unban the member or not . It's not that complicated as you guys are making it.
how many times would the situation even become a possibility? Maybe once a year. It's not worth $20 a year to have to deal with all the negative side effects of letting people buy their way back in.
I can think of very few people that I myself would vote "yes" on in this.
Ok Loki and HOOTERS can do it. the end! how about we just unban them anyways? :D
Of course it may not occur very often, but I do believe in giving members a second chance to become a member, and if paying $20 to get unbanned after perhaps a year is their only oppurtunity to have it, then it should be worth it.
After two years a banned member may appeal for an unbanning.
But what if they want to get unbanned earlier? Let them pay for an early reinstatement.
Nah.
I don't want to repeat myself, but you know very well what it means for the server payment. You won't accept payment from a banned member who is WILLING to pay $20 to be unbanned and given a second chance to post? And how likely will this happen? Maybe twice a year on a regular basis? That's like $40 dollars for the server cost.
As far as Unne's idea goes I don't like the idea of getting a special color title because you paid money for the server. It would be like a status symbol with no purpose. It just shows off which is why regular color custom titles aren't around in the first place. I've given Cid money before and I certainly wouldn't want one.
That poor dead horse. Why must you beat it so?
