• Facepunch Admins bad rep?
    20 replies, posted
Hey, You know, searching through older threads on here, as well as hearing discussion from players in GMod, often I've heard that people claim the admins here ban without a good reason. Like in one of the threads apparently someone was banned for creating another thread of something that didn't need to be created. Why is this? I'm not trying to talk down to staff or anything, but I'm just inquiring why it's the case why so many people are banned for all these reasons, that quite frankly, some of them don't really appear to be a bannable offense, unless they've done it multiple times after being warned.
A day ban is the first warning.
Half the time its just basic common sense. If there's already a thread about the topic, or something related to it. Dont create one, Just post in the current one. Same with everything else
It makes sense, and FP admins don't really seem to be as bad as some people make them out to be
A couple of times some admins have been a bit oversensitive on banning me, but I don't deny posting stuff that you get banned for, but I still it's a bit oversensitive to ban about some things, like my last ban I got banned for a month for saying sarcastis "eat shit furfag". But admins do a great job of keeping shitposters and other scum out. Just check my ban history

They hand hour or day bans like it's candy, but it's not inherently a bad thing. Month bans for more serious shit. And if your ban is long/permanent, you can even appeal it and it could be shortened/lifted (not without a good reason ofc). Facepunch is probably the best forum I've used in regards to moderators. They aren't the overly full of themselves power-crazy kids you see on most forums, they are just other users who take their time to clean up the forums for everyone's benefit. I almost never see a mod post that couldn't be a normal member's. Because they don't use warnings, but instead just ban the guy for a short period of time, the moderation regarding a post is contained to this post. And that's good.

There are a few exceptions of course.
I find the admins here to be incredibly lenient.

[QUOTE=Zanpa;41268682]Permanent bans aren't given for trivial shit.[/QUOTE] Depends, I've seen Starpluck permaban people because they have different opinion than him. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Bullshit - but under your conditions I dissent with your opinon" - Starpluck))[/highlight]
[QUOTE=Spirit_Breaker;41269257]Depends, I've seen Starpluck permaban people because they have different opinion than him.[/QUOTE] Well then this is one of the few exceptions :v: With such a big forum and this many mods, shit like this is bound to happen. Fortunately it's not the case most of the time.
[QUOTE=Spirit_Breaker;41269257]Depends, I've seen Starpluck permaban people because they have different opinion than him.[/QUOTE] Really? Have examples?
[QUOTE=Krinkels;41269310]Really? Have examples?[/QUOTE] He doesn't directly ban anyone for personal reasons, but he often finds an excuse/way around it He banned owndered for not using capitals. It was pretty obvious that wasn't the reason :v:
[QUOTE=Spirit_Breaker;41269257]Depends, I've seen Starpluck permaban people because they have different opinion than him.[/QUOTE] The guy just really hates Facists.

I really hope i won't meet MaxofS2D in the streets. The guy creeps me out.
I made a stupid typo in entering the name of a skybox for a map before, and only found it out after making a thread about the problem. When I solved it I said to rate me dumb, then I got banned for asking for ratings. Yet I've seen people posting and often saying "rate me X" and they usually don't get banned.
Most of the bans that I see are for really useless posts and/or "culls".
I think the mods are pretty cool.
I was banned my first day because I didn't read the rules and made an introduction thread in General Discussion. I guess you could call that a newbie mistake.
As long as you read the rules and lurk a while you're fine. I was here for a few months before I even registered.
