A note concerning BANNING.

[deevergote]

If you are banned, YOU are banned... not your name.

This means that YOU are not welcome back here for the period that you are banned... at least not to post. You're welcome to view the site.

If you are found to have re-registered using another name, all known names will be permanently banned.




To put it simply, you have a choice... 1,3,7 day ban, or permanent. If you don't want to be banned, don't do anything to get banned! The rules aren't that strict here. Basically, all we ask is for you to respect your fellow members. If you can't do that, we don't need you here anyway. A temporary ban for things like racial slurs is pretty lenient, IMO.

thanx for that bit of info.ive always wondered how long someone gets banned for.

[CustomLowz]

I know Deev is very lenient, please dont push him. I went too far once, and I learned my lesson. 1-day was hard enough, i couldnt imagine a permanent ban.

[deevergote]

The length of time varies. Usually due to the offense. Certain moderators will ban for a longer period of time (I've seen 2 week bans recently). I support all my moderators in their decisions, so if they feel you deserve 2 weeks, then I feel you deserve 2 weeks.

One day is my standard for simple flaming... just to put someone out of the fire for a bit. 3 days to a week for repeat offenses (eventually, it'll be permanent). 1-2 weeks for racial and sexual slurs if I catch it (or someone alerts me to it)... if it's bad enough, a slur could get you permanently banned immediately. (just so you know, "***", "homo", "***", and other homophobic statements are considered slurs... and they are not tolerated.)

If you have a question regarding your ban, you may email me at deevergote@comcast.net. Rarely, I will reconsider and shorten the time...

Honestly, they're wrong to use in that particular context in the whole of polite society.

I Agree

but *** means happy lol

So if it says 0 posts under somebody's name, does that mean they were permanently banned?
Or just never posted anywhere besides OFF TOPIC?

[deevergote]

It just means they've never posted outside of Off Topic (or the Beginner Image Gallery or Animal Forum). If someone is banned, it'll say "banned" under their name.

I get it now! Thanks!
