    Default EoFF should start using Temp-Bans.

    I believe EoFF should start using Temp-Bans instead of the current warn several times, then ban, or the insta-ban.

    However, warnings should still be used, but I think this system would still work, but knowing teh staff is too lazy to even bother with a temp ban, I know this would be shot down, but allow me to explain how this could work.

    The current system is flawed, in my opinion. Sure, it works, but EoFF will lose valuable members for a simple mistake, like "posting porn", unless the porn was intentionally posted to get banned.

    So, I would like to propose a new system using temp-bans.

    First offense (flaming, getting by the swear filter, etc) - In thread warn.
    Second offense - In thread and/or PM warn.
    Third offense - Temp ban (One week - One Month temp ban, depending on offense)
    Fourth offense (after return) - Permanent ban

    Now, with the porn pics.
    First offense - Temp ban (One - Three Month tem-ban, depending on what was posted. The more offensive the picture, the longer the temp-ban) or Permanent ban (if picture was posted with the intent to get banned)
    Second offense (after return) - Permanent ban

    The staff may not like this, but I think it will work. EoFF will keep more members this way, and once someone has been temp ban, they will learn what not to do. Though, they should know before hand, but this is a way for EoFF to keep good members.

    Of course, with this system, you could finally give problematic members a temp-ban to get your point across to them that what they're doing is not right, and if they continuing doing it once they return from a temp ban, they can get the permanent ban.

    This gives members a second chance to shine, if they haven't done so the first time.

    Of course, I'll accept whatever the staff decides regarding this issue.

    (sorry about the earlier comment. )
