How do so many people get banned?

I've gotten two verbal warnings. One for a joke topic about new info on GTA V (early last year). And the other for image spamming a comic strip.

 

 

Speaking of bans, I'm so glad that horsho kid finally got banned.

same with the kid who made up that war story.

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.

Slamman has been reported over 600 times, posted constantly off topic, et cetera. I think that sums it up:

 

http://www.abload.de/img/slammansmemberlog126k8h.jpg

 

http://www.abload.de/img/slammansmemberlog29jk9p.jpg

 

Both images are from Spirit. but his post is deleted so you won't find it anymore. I have reuploaded the images because the original links don't work half of the time. Slamman was permanently banned in March 2010 but he has been given a second chance because a lot of people haven't stopped talking about him which was why he was unbanned in July 2011. As you can see, he was banned again in July 2012 but now it is permanently.

 

 

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

 

That's why:

 

After you were unanimously voted off the staff last year you were warned and temp banned numerous times for various offenses. Rather than permanently ban you right there and then, I took the decision to speak with meta187 to see if we could come to a more amicable agreement.

 

At this time you were warned you would be permanently banned if the constant rule breaking continued, and for a short while you changed. However, since August you've slipped back into the member which got you demoted and continuously temp banned - rather than rinse and repeat, lets put an end to this.

Wow, I just read the whole thing with Slamman and it's unfortunate that it had to go on for that long for everyone invlolved. I wonder if anybody else has ever received that much leniency?

 

 

 

Oh and btw, Slamman wanted me to say hi to everyone for him. "Hi". biggrin.gif

He has the by far biggest memberlog in the history of GTAForums. Though, he received so many warnings, I miss him. My join date would contradict it but I'm lurking this place since years. He also has the biggest post count. It was resetted once or twice (not sure) and miromiro pointed out that Slamman has about 36,000 posts so yeah, even Girish would need some time until he would break that record, only 2,000 posts to go. tounge.gif

36k!!! Wow, I would say that you would have to be off topic alot to post that much - but if Girish is that close then my statement can't be true. Btw, I've never seen Girish get mad or let anything get to him - it was strange to see that Slamman was able to push him over the edge. If a member is banned can they still lurk or can they not access the forum at all?

If a member is permanently banned and still uses the account then no, the member can not access the forum. The member would only see a screen where it states the reason for the permanent ban. You would have to delete the cookies and cache to be at least able to lurk the forum without an account and usually if you are banned, then you are banned, you don't get any more chances.

Is that entirely true? Of you go to Slamman's profile (and even Murdoc's for that matter) their latest activity is every recent, only a few days ago. Which means they still lurk the forums even though they're perma-banned.

 

Slam and 'Doc are probably reading this right now. ph34r.gif

If they try to go to the forum when the are using their accounts then they can enter the forum but they can only view the Board Index which states the reason for the ban, and they can not browse the forum. So if they would try to use their accounts exactly right now and we would look at their profiles then it would say "Currently Viewing: Viewing Board Index" and of course the date of their last activity would be updated to the current one.

Maybe because he hopes that one day, somebody gives him a chance again. I am certain about all things I said in this topic [except the first sentence of this post].

To be completely honest, I was banned before. Thankfully, I was given a second chance.

 

i better not get banned for saying that.

Good post.

 

 

But then, that's don't really explain why peoples like miamivicecity are still heres for over five years and are still trolling about specific thing enought to lose all of his credibility (at least for me) and even get promoted at the "MOD" rank.

Trolling? confused.gif

 

Look I understand given how big the site is with the amount of people that post here I don't expect everyone to like me, but I'm not even sure what I done to you to get a response like that and it's not the first time.

 

I mean you've made 22 posts since July 2011. How can you possibly know what I was upto before then? Are you someone who used to have an account and made a new one that I got into an argument with a few years ago or something?

 

Come on. According to your profile you'll be 30 this year. Don't you think you're a bit old to be carrying on with this schoolyard crap?

 

It's fine that you don't like me, but I'd atleast have some respect for you if you could be a man and explain what the issue is instead of basically labelling me as a troll without a reason.

Probably the influx of people born in the year 2000 and up in V section. That place is like Chuck E. Cheese's ffs.

 

 

I had to take a break from the V forum. Passions run high there. There is very little wiggle room for mature discussion and it's often dominated by the most redundant topics if there is no info to feed on. However, I still give V's sub-forum the highest investigative honor when it comes to new GTAV info. The section has been responsible for numerous findings about that game.

And what's also interesting about this is that this isn't even his full warn log (the first picture being a full page and the second picture not even being half of the second page). You'd think one would learn after all those warnings (and show some consideration and common sense when it comes to posting on a discussion forum after being given a crapload of chances) but nope, not him. confused.gif

But why would Slam continuously go on GTAForums day after day if that is all he can see? smile.gif

because he is insane

 

really they can't even go in topics? well they could sign out and look at topics. lurking, waiting. ph34r.gif

 

Hi slam, thanks for telling me how to embed youtube vids smile.gif

How do you become a mod anyway. I was able to do it over at Gametrailers (until they demoted and banned me) and ThatFatAtheist forums because of my post count.

 

Is that how it works here?

If it was, I'd be a mod. moto_whistle.gif

I already got more posts than most people make in 2 years here.

But that's not how it works here. You have to be helpful, respectful, and maybe respected.

4147 posts??? GOD DAMN.

 

Yeah, I guess it was a dumb question. I guess GT and the other forum were just lenient about it. It must be hard to get medals when there are so many other members.

But the difference is that moderators' average posts aren't

And that is why they're moderators.

This is true. Placing someone into a moderating postition due to post count is retarded IMO.

 

It's not something that happens overnight. It took me 4 years before I was asked to help out with the GTA V forum.

 

If I had to give anyone advice with aspirations on becoming a mod it would be just be a good member of the community and by that I don't mean intentionally tone it down to kiss ass. Just be yourself and you may get a call up one day.

 

The worst thing anyone could do though as far as I'm concerned is ask to become a moderator.

I thought one could only get like ten temporary bans(if the mods are lenient) and then they are just permanently banned.

I've been temporarily banned twice.

A small one because I responded to someone who posted a picture of "Get ready for the flame wars"

Another because I had a week long grumpy attitude around the V section. blush.gif

I've been temp banned once, because of off topic bullsh*t in the V forum. But you can't win without failing.

I learned my lesson.

I've had a 12 hour ban from posting once for posting an off-topic reply in a retarded topic. But, I should have reported and moved on..

I usually look at the busted member's last post to see what happened but they usually delete the bad posts. sad.gif 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.

I am seriously curious about this. Why is Slamman always banned. Let back on and then banned again? I have asked this question many times and I have never gotten a response. People just ignore it like it is some kind of secret I'm not allowed to be in on. What does he do to warrant being banned so much?
