    It's a win-win situation! EoFF/Cid get money to help pay server cost and the banned person will get a second oppurtunity to post again, if the person were to get banned again, then he/she would not be able to pay again.

    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!".

    But it would help pay for the server, what's the problem with help when it comes to money? I'm sure there are flaws in this idea, but I think it's very good. 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.

    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.

    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.
