How do so many people get banned?

[lazloisdavrock]

Over the 5 years i've been here, I constantly keep seeing people "busted" almost daily. what the hell do people do? Has the average age dropped or something? whats going on.

Has the average age dropped or something?

Combine that and the hype of a new GTA.

Me neither....Just saying I'm sure that explains at least some of it.

no i just think its abunch of kids that dont know how to behave on the internet.

[Kifflom112]

Well, most of the bans come from the people who like to spam or type up rude comments in the V section. The other ones, they're mostly because of being insulting towards other forum members or breaking the rules. And the bans add up because a lot of people who get banned figure "oohz ifs I mak a nu accownt wit a difforant emale adress, they wont no itz me, bahahahaha!" So yeah...

Also some people just request bans and forget to put "requested ban" in their signatures and or member titles.

[lazloisdavrock]

i dont understand the ban request thing. if you dont want to post anymore. dont post?

[DarrinPA]

I usually look at the busted member's last post to see what happened but they usually delete the bad posts. Whatever happened to Slamman? I would always see him get busted then he'd be back but I've never seen him do anything ban worthy.

Oh, shut up.

[Vanzant]

I go out of my way a lot to keep people from getting temp bans, warnings and what have you. Most people take my advice and quit, but some don't. Some people just don't care so we have to rid of those types.

[cidamelo]

Yes most people deserves to get banned but like some users here I don't understand why people like Slamman was banned, I have never seen him posting something bad!

you shut up.

 

to answer the question darrin and cida, and anybody else he did some very off-topic posts, he never posted anything offensive, not all his posts but a good number of them went off on tangents regarding the topic at hand, but I think (going by his log which was revealed to us) what really drove them over the edge was 'PM spamming' while he was temp banned. asking people to post for him etc. you would not have seen that cos PMs are Private. f*ck that is what the P stands for (well for some)

 

also the regularity of his offenses, he did them time and time again within days after coming back from a temp so they just decided enough is enough.

[MIKON8ERISBACK]

There are a lot of reasons for this to be happening. Declining average ages due in most part to parents, the hype, excitement, and passion that comes with the announcement of a new GTA game which impairs the judgement skills of members causing repeated rule violations, there are a lot of things. When a ban is requested due to calling it quits or a username change, it's normal for the thought to mention it in their signature to slip the mind of a moderator because their job can be extremely hectic and stressful.

 

As for the rule violation side of it, many posters in the GTA V subforum can be very immature people with very poor social skills (yes, I know I was like that not too long ago). Passion and excitement can have very detrimental effects on judgement when your still a little kid physically or even just emotionally. That's where the flaming and insulting or otherwise nonconstructive and infuriatingly pointless comments in the GTA V subforum come from.

 

As people do this repeatedly or do other stuff in a way that makes the situations with the rule violations more and more serious, people get permabanned. In addition to repeated or very serious violations, forum leaders, moderators, and administrators have common sense knowledge to detect when someone just came the forums to be an asshole. This could be through definitively "stupid" usernames i.e. "CallofDutyisBetter", incidents where the user immediately starts insulting other people or through more gruesome incidents like the posing of gay porn or shocking and disgusting images. In fact, there's a misfit out there who periodically creates new accounts under new IP addresses to post gay porn, shiesse porn, pictures of dead bodies, or other gruesome images designed to offend.

I was such a spammer back in the GTA V section and those were the days.

Thanks Nate!

 

Going-God - I wasn't trying to defend Slamman, I just never saw what he did wrong and now I know why thanks to Nate's post. I never knew about the PM'ing thing. Oh, and the sad face I posted was about the previous sentence.

[cidamelo]

NateShaw92 thank you for the explanation, now I understand it but I feel kind sad because I think he was a good user

MIKON8ERISBACK maybe it's some kids who access the forums, for example, I have a friend of my son in Facebook and he posted that GTA Vice City was an awful game!! Some kids just don't have sense

I found him on YouTube. It's complicated, lol.

Did you all ever see his member log. It was revealed a while ago yet removed for some odd reason.

It was reeeaaaalllllyyyy long. I mean really long.

[SRB]

Can I ask what happened to MUrdoc? If it's confidential or something then thats no problem just curious...

Before I was aware of all the Slamman drama (I had yet to become part of the OGA aka the dedicated slamman board) he sent me a lengthy, uninvited PM. When I asked him what on earth possessed him to do that, he told me my attitude was flippant and that it would be good for me to learn about the struggles of the less fortunate because I can't see past their attempts at keeping their spirits up... for reference, the initial PM he sent me was about how much sh*t he had to through to renew his driver's license.

From what I saw, he maybe got banned for being rude to a few people, but I may be wrong. Remember the crap that happened in the Vehicle Chat with someone.

he broke the rules

spirit revealed the banned log post on the have a question topic

 

if I had to guess at something more specific

dedicating entire posts to insulting people, for 2 reasons:

- a lot of the time added nothing to the topic at hand (that is what got slamman, partially)

- could be considered "flaming" in some circles (not saying I am in those circles)

Most of them that got banned is mostly creating new accounts.

Best story ever. I hope you thank your lucky stars for that experience.

 

lol. DMV is tough.

He's been mean to people ever since I started checking up here regularly. That was his thing. When I first hit the forum, we argued, I think alot of people would agree.

 

What possessed the mods to decide he was a nuisance now after all this time? I don't know, disappointing but whats done is done.

I like how Murdoch, the meanest dude on the forum, once sent me a PM telling me how f*cking awesome I am.

 

RIP Murdoch.

[Mister Pink]

Most people on here are familiar with forum ettiquette and general forum rules found all over the interent. However there is a minority that have either joined a forum for the first time or can't wrap their head around some of the rules here.

 

There are obviously some restrictions when it comes to rules here as GTAForums would be regarded as probably the best/most well known/most successful GTA community. Rockstar sees the site and the good people that run the network obviously don't want to run foul of Rockstar. So what may go down no problem on one GTA forum, may not go down well here.

 

Murdoc is a good dude, really.
