EoFF should start using Temp-Bans.

[Jojee]

Why am I in contempt? I just volunteered to be a lawyer. *runs away crying* ._.

Practice exorcism on MP >=o

Edit: and practice taking a shower, Psy, you stink

[Raistlin]

I'm holding you two in contempt.

AIM I guess.

What if he doesn't know any Staffers AIMs?

It makes more sense to me to put the banned person in a new usergroup that can only post in this special forum, and then maybe give a friend of his access to help him appeal his case. Then both of them can post how they think he should be unbanned, and then the Staff can ask questions and such, and then review it. Or something like that.

[Jojee]

LOL. A special forum full of banned members. XD Imagine the fun. Let me in it if you ever do.

[Shlup]

If they can't get a staff members email or AIM name, they're probably too dumb to come back anyway.

If they can't get a staff members email or AIM name, they're probably too dumb to come back anyway.

It just seems to me a rather haphazard way to do things to have the banned guy IM a staffer and ask them to be unbanned.

Although, ideally, there'd be pre-trial motions and oral arguments and witnesses and cross-examinations, so I guess you can't have everything.

EDIT: Twerp, not for all banned members, doofus. Just for the ones who are put in there after they've been banned two years or whatever, and can appeal.

[Del Murder]

I think we'd only want people back who really care, and if they really cared they'd find a way to contact us. The more organized this idea gets the more dumb it becomes. Let's not forget that these people did stupid things to get themselves banned, so pretty much all the leeway is going to go towards minimizing the effort on our part.

[Shlup]

I don't think it's worth the effort to institute some fancy system for people who've already been kicked outta here. Just send a staff member a message, have a friend or two send one if they want, staff'll talk about it, and then say yes or no.

[Raistlin]

But how can you be sure all the evidence has been presented, all the possible witnesses been called, all the testimoney been given, all the possible discussion been done, without some sort of more organizational plan for all this?

[Shlup]

DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO TURN INTO A BIG smurfING DEAL WITH YOU? Go ride a smurfing bike or something.

[Raistlin]

Do you have to take every "suggestion" I make so seriously?

I haven't been serious for the past four or five posts now.

[eestlinc]

apparently we have implemented temp bans now. To get one, you just need to annoy Shlup.

[Raistlin]

Oh .

[Shlup]

This system has always been in place. You just haven't noticed 'cause you couldn't view the WML until recently, eest. I AM A MONSTER!

[Raistlin]

"I AM RE-OPENZILLA! RAWR!"

xD

EDIT: How many times have I been on this WML? =o

[Shlup]

*searches the WML for "Raistlin"*

*laughs at the results*

I can't post that. xD
