Usually the good admins and staff here are smart enough to remove any evidence of bannination for two reasons;
1: However much the person won't be around, it's generally not necessary to highlight why a person was banned i.e. naming and shaming. After all, what does it matter why someone was banned if they're not going to be around anymore?
2: Usually the infraction in question is against forum TOS, so really shouldn't be there in the first place.
There is no signature here. Move along.
Yeah but...
I really don't think Sapphire Star should have been Banned
I feel really sorry for her right now. Really, really, REALLY sorry for her! She has shared her life on here over the last couple of months and some people on here obviously meant a lot to her.
It seems very cruel to Ban her for mod-whoring, even if she has been warned before many times. Wouldn't it have been easier just to remove her ability to Post for a few days or weeks so that she learnt a lesson, instead of Banning her completely? Or just remove the offending Posts in question? I don't think she's ever sworn at anyone or been abusive.
It's just kinda sad knowing she's gone for good because she made a Thread saying how much she loves people on here and then, BOOM, 30 minutes later she is banished for eternity!
One of the reasons that people very rarely break rules and that EoFF has such a good reputation for not having abuse going on around the place is because of the way we deal with things. One major factor in this is that we don't give people temporary bans because then they figure they can 'get away with it' - instead we slam on massive bans that force people to not want to break the rules because they know they'll be gone for a long time. It also means we don't have to worry about people returning after their temporary ban expires and abusing in retaliation, which does happen in places that give temp bans. Also, you could look at it in a different way: Instead of thinking "They should have just made it seven days, instead they gave the member a permanent ban!" you should probably think "Man, they could have given the member a seven day ban before now, but they instead chose to just give them a nice, polite 'Final Warning' which meant that they could keep posting while still knowing that they're on their last legs."She's been warned rather often for good reasons, I'll leave it at that.I don't think she's ever sworn at anyone or been abusive.
Good people get banned if they break rules. This has happened in the past - including close friends of the staff group - but it has to if we want to be fair to all of the members. Everyone has to follow the rules, or else people will think they can get away with it because some other member did. It doesn't matter how good you are, you have to set examples for the newer members or you'll be warned/banned.
She can always appeal to her ban after two years, so it's not eternity.
Buuuut enough of discussing that ban for me as it's over and done with now.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Oh, right. I get it now
I guess I just feel sorry for her because of her final Thread. It's just a very sad irony.
By the way, Loony BoB, you'll be pleased to know I have learnt my lesson too!2 whole weeks later, I have learnt it!
I don't see why. Just because we're not in charge of banning people doesn't mean we shouldn't know why they were banned. Not that I really care whether I know or not. I just don't see the point in keeping it quiet.That's what I first thought. But then I thought, surely if it was a revenge ban, instead of keeping it quiet, you'd come up with a fake reason why they got banned, that you found amusing, an that could potentially cause them some embarassment.
She was a banshee anyway. ;D And Ansem person was just creeeeepy.
Definately. If this place was like most other forums, ahh. I think it's fairly easy *not* to get banned here. And people just want to know why cos they are nosey, we all are, it's why when there's an accident in the street or a police car in your road you stop and stare. We all like some drama. xD It's better to just accept it and move on though. I'm not sure what banshee means... but I liked Ansem even if he was a bit OTT.
I don't mind if Eoff is cutting off it's own balls and banning every interesting member it gets, who cares if most of the members that remain think alike and should be clones?
Oh and yeah, unfair etc. A crock of [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]
I'm all for whiners and pedophiles getting the big boot. Not really people that are liked to have around for too long. ;D
I can't really speak for the staff of this particular forum, but the other places I have been a staff member at kept it quiet for reasons of privacy. It is a dealing between a member and the staff. Outside parties do not need to be concerned with it. If a member wishes to know why a person was banned, they can contact the banned person and ask them.I don't see why. Just because we're not in charge of banning people doesn't mean we shouldn't know why they were banned. Not that I really care whether I know or not. I just don't see the point in keeping it quiet.
I strongly suggest that people remember that most users are banned with a very strong conviction in mind. I do not like seeing remarks commenting about how a specific ban was unfair made to the general public and I want those who have objections like that to speak to the staff privately and have it explained why that specific user is banned. Regardless, unless you have some significant tie to the user, it might not be your place to ask.
I believe in the power of humanity.
EoFF is like the Lost. It gets interesting then they kill someone off.
