    I'd keep 'em around and treat them like dirt. Then i'd ban them.

    I'd give them administratring positions so they can ban all the annoying people who complain.



    I want to make a forum but I don't know how to and geocities doesn't have that option. I can make chocobo-dance.com but sadly there will never be a chocobo-dance.com/forums and also the chocobos dont dance.

    well brian still sticks around ASC, so what does that tell you?

    If I banned all the idiots at my own message board, I'd have to ban myself as well.

    I just chastise them until they learn their way. Failing that, I often enjoy changing their passwords and other (admin power) abusive actions. I also change their emails just for fun, so they can't get their account back.

    They eventually leave, and I eventually get kicked out of admin position. It works out in the end.

    I've never had to ban anyone on the Windurst Liberation Army's forums.... yet. We have a very simple set of rules to follow and nobody breaks them, the players in our Linkshell are all very smart and very capable of conducting themselves respectfully in the interest of everyone having a better gaming experience.

    Our policy both in and out of game is my "WTF Method"

    1. Warn
    2. Tell
    3. Get the F*** out

    Having experienced all three, my vote is clearly for just banning them all, it works the best, as, I think EoFF has the best atmosphere of the boards I read/post at.
    Grab the opportunities life hands you, that's my motto!

    I guess ban them. It really depends on a lot of factors I don't want to get into right now.

    Perhaps instead of bans, you give out temporary bans, like in some sports.. a minor problem would be a warning, then a first actual offense is a one day ban, then a 2nd offense is a week's ban, and then perhaps a third offense is a year's ban? Anyone who would come back and then do something stupid after being banned a year could then be classified under a level 4, which would be a ban for life.

    Still, the question would be, what warrants a ban, even for a day?

    Take care all.

    Hm... I'd probably ban them, personally, but I doubt any board of mine would have that many members so I'd give 'em a full lobotomy and make them nice happy members <3

    ...
    Who wants to do my lobotomy?
