    The server cost is generally not really an issue here anyway.

That's like $40 dollars for the server cost.
    Look! If someone is banned by the staff. The staff doesn't want them posting here, nor do they want to give them a second chance. They give second chances BEFORE they ban, if they're deserving of one. Money doesn't make them more deserving. It's very nice that you're continuing to fight for peter, but it's probably all in vane.

    God, I hate how everyone is treating my ideas as smurfing .
    Maybe because they are . Learn to take no for an answer.

    Learn how to take "that's a really dumb idea" for an answer too, the way things are looking.

    Yes, but what if the person posted an "inappropriate" picture by mistake, got banned, and will wait to pay to return? I'm referring to those kind of banned members, the kind that got instantly banned for posting a pic, perhaps by mistake, or not.

    Neel, I just don't see what's so wrong with allowing members to freakin pay to be unbanned, if they are damned willing to pay? EoFF is getting some money through this. Surely, soon enough, it's going to cost to keep a forum that's growing in size to stay online.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    You don't "accidentally" post an inappropriate picture. And if this is all that this idea is about, you can definitely forget it. We've been down this road before.

    It's not that, I'm not saying that perhaps accidently posted a picture, I'm just saying this would be an option for banned members who were banned instantly rather than being given warnings.

    Because it amounts to basically buying off the Staff.

    Oops, I screwed up and posted porn, here have $20 bucks and we'll forget about the whole thing. Mmkay?

    That kind of stuff is just shady. And I have a hard time seeing any respectable forum allowing for such a thing.

    If they thought it was a good idea to let people who accidently post porn have a second chance, they'd do that. And not just let people with a credit card buy their way back in. @_@

    I disagree with that assessment. Accidents happen all the time.

    However, Kane, Neel and everyone else are right. You'd be better off dropping the issue; it's obvious they're not going to change their minds, and it looks like this thread is starting to get on people's nerves.

    Yep, what Miriel (edit: and The Man) said.

    And what if I was banned? Pfft, I don't get banned.

    you'd be hard pressed to accidentally post an inappropriate picture, but it is possible to accidentally link to inappropriate pictures.

    Accidents do happen, but there's a good chance you'd be able to see that you posted porn and delete your link/attachment before anyone sees. Before the thumbnails I always checked my attachments to make sure they were right. "*click* oh that's not a picture of my dog, it's a chick blowing off a snow penis. wtf is wrong with me that I keep pictures of my dog next to pictures like this? *switch*"

    That's not exactly possible if you don't habitually preview your posts before submitting them, but it is a valid point I guess.

    It's a moot point, because it doesn't matter if it's accidental or not. Also, that is not the subject of this thread, so back on topic please.
