Why is it that so many new members get banned?

[Quindiana Jones]

There is no one here who got banned just for saying something inappropriate. They get warnings and a PM first advising them to not do what they were doing/saying anymore. In fact they get much more than just one PM. When they do eventually get banned it's usually when many many PMs were not cutting it and the member was still doing what he/she was asked not to do.

Others that you think might not have done anything very terrible actually did, but their post or thread that contributed to their ban would have been removed from the view of regular members.

Hm. That's fairly interesting. I never knew that. Never ever.

It used to be that a ban from EoFF was very permanent, but we decided that someone who gets banned when they are 13 or 15 might actually mature enough in 2 years to become a member who might contribute something so we relaxed the forever rule. Of course, just because a banned member requests to come back does not mean that he will. He first needs the approval of ALL Staff.

Is it possible that one member of staff may hold a really big grudge? Perhaps everyone else felt it was OK for that person to come back, but that one member of staff with the grudge refused. Would they be ignored, or would the banned person just not be allowed back? Or does that just never happen because all members of staff are really nice people inside and would never ever ever hold a grudge?

I'm so confused. I feel like a child in Anne Summer's....

Oh, they can hold grudges.

If one of us was able to hold that big of a grudge against someone, I'd think it safe to say that they did something really bad.

If some one get banned, how long would it be until he comes back to the forum?. just thought to ask.

It's for two years and then you may request to come back.

Hehe.. why did you use this you ?, it makes me nervouse. :riiight:

Wel, who get banned desirve to get banned, that's why he/she was banned.

It could've been something that just <s>pissed you off</s> annoyed you. Though I'll bet the other members of staff would get annoyed too, because of the nastiness to another member of staff.

Newbies get banned because Citizen Bleys doesn't like them.

No, loverhurts. We do not ban members for... making fun of us

[The Unknown Guru]

I found this site on Google. I didn't get banned because I just happen to know basic English grammar and etiquette, and I read the rules.

[Resha]

I read all your PMs when you're not looking.

OOH, BIG BROTHA!

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

I don't have any interesting PM's so

[Jessweeee♪]

It's hard to shake off that "new" when you're banned :P

[lovehurts]

I read all your PMs when you're not looking.

Then you know about me and my operation!! ? SORRY KIDS NO MORE "SPECIAL" VIDEOS!!! Quick run!! Run away with the edivence!!!

[Avarice-ness]

Alot of people find it fun to get banned from as many forums as possible. It's a personal goal or something to get as many people see the words "banned" in one place, I guess it's a since of pride. "Oh hey, I got banned from so-and-so today! =D"

How quaint though. If I was on that mission I'd go to a small forum first, not a big one because the big ones have scarry moderators that close all my thread...s... Err. No you guys know I'm kidding.
Some people just don't work well with others, so when they get warned they'll be all "I'll show you! >=O" and then they get showed even harder because they're not that smart.

I wish they could put the reason why the person was banned though, I'd read them all.

EoFF members are banned, because they discovered the secret code to unlocking all the powers of the internet. It's a shame really.

[Dr Unne]

I want to know how so many new members DON'T get banned in the first week. Tons of them are getting through.

[Molnir]

Uh oh. I am a new member. And new at the forum stuff. Hope i dont get banned. There would be no reason to band me though...
