That would be nice
a built-in IRC client, mayhaps? :dance:
[QUOTE=daijitsu;24269822]a built-in IRC client, mayhaps? :dance:[/QUOTE] I love you and your awesome ideas
[QUOTE=Computermaster;24249340]I hope. My old alt account that became my main was banned for no reason. Literally, no reason. The event log is empty and where it's supposed to tell you why, it says "No reason given."[/QUOTE] You may have been hit in Doug's latest ban spree. Make a post mentioning the ban spree in the refugee camp on the banned account and maybe PM one of the mods. Daijitsu might be a one to talk to.

Except there was no rampage then, so I don't know what the deal is.
I got perma' as well last year in Sept. There seemed to be a database leak as the DD was full of Banmes. I was a victim but took me 2 months to get unbanned since Ventilated is a huge dick.

I think silent bans are still traceable if you look but you'd need to be an admin/mod.
I got silent banned for 4 days recently I still wonder why to this day. [editline]04:40PM[/editline] and it was strange because it said I was banned for 7 days then got unbanned 4 days into it

Which was pretty much everyone he could get his hands on in the amount of time he had.
Like, when did this happen. I got banned on the 15th of August.
About that time. I don't know when I was banned, but I was unbanned on the 16th.
I got unbanned on Wed. or Thurs. I think. I didn't even bother appealing though, so that might have something to do with it.
yea they were only unbanning people who made threads in RC because it was easier than searching for the ones who got banned
Yeah. Daijitsu made a thread in the RC saying if you were silent-banned to make a thread and he would fix it. I think his unban button is still broken. :3: for Dai.
[QUOTE=fish puncher;24261424]I think you mean nominate.[/QUOTE] Did you actually read Mr Gestapo's post?
[QUOTE=Mokkan13;24275795]Did you actually read Mr Gestapo's post?[/QUOTE] Actually he's right: [QUOTE=Mr. Gestapo;24259998]Because they're incapable of adhering to simple rules such as "if you're going to post in this thread, make sure it's on topic" or "don't snip your posts" The nominate / rominate thing was a simple test to see if people had read the first post. In a chunk of text, I specified that [B]people should use the word rominate[/B] instead of nominate, [B]then people who said rominate got permabanned[/B] for not reading.[/QUOTE] I think Hezzy got himself a little mixed up there. :v:
Heh, he's too tricky for himself.
Doesn't DDT'ing a thread also close it? If so, why do mods waste time closing the thread then DDT'ing it? Or is that just the event log showing the mod's DDT and the automatic lock that comes afterwards?

When I was a section moderator I could no longer ban in a thread once I'd DDT'd it - so I would close it to stop further posting whilst I banned people, and then DDT it afterwards.
I always thought it was for a mod to tell other mods that they are taking care of this thread, to prevent double banning
[QUOTE=elitehakor;24276681]I always thought it was for a mod to tell other mods that they are taking care of this thread, to prevent double banning[/QUOTE] Ban's don't stack so double banning isn't that great of an issue.
[QUOTE=rampageturke;24276996]Ban's don't stack so double banning isn't that great of an issue.[/QUOTE] It is when one moderator decides to ban for an hour and the other decides to ban for a week. I'd expect some kind of argument.
And also I believe a new ban will override an old one. Like if VNL banned someone for a week, then Hezzy banned them for a day, they would only be banned for a day. Also, thanks for the answer VNL.
indeed, the latest ban is the 'only' ban affecting a user. If someone got banned for a month and then for an hour, the hour would end and all would be clear.
