[QUOTE=Merijnwitje;48104280]Hold the phone, how the fuck is a banned user viewing this thread?

this was common before now anyways, if a user kept a tab open after having been banned
Where is postal with his change?
Fast Threads shouldn't be viewable for [I]any[/I] users.
Btw. might I ask why there are no Respected Users anymore ? Or are they super rare ?

Nvm found Bean-O 's userpage, still has the "Respected User" title but name ain't purple anymore. Last activity in 2011 too.
make a new member status: Shit Member
in order to corral any awful gold members
your name turns brown and you can only post in Fast Threads

Fast Threads has a purpose as the and-everything-else subforum, it reduces clutter and acts as a containment zone.

Who is Rusty100 and should I be worried about him as a blue member and a father? Sometimes my kids remove my BIOS password key to view this forum and I'm worried about them being around Rusty100's posts

I've always seen it as being a brown member over a gold member

Fast Threads is like the Rust subforum, you need it to contain the stupid threads, just like you need Rust to contain the children. Some leak out every once in a while but it's better than letting it flood everywhere.
if there's a problem with users with gold who are bad posters, what about if the traditional requirements of post count and years active returned, but weighed against the poster's ban count in a ratio?
so like, if it's five years and 5000 posts, then you disqualify anyone who has more than 10-15 bans per thousand posts, or something? with an appropriately adjusted ban number because i don't know what's fair
(ban #) / (1/5000)(post #)(max ban #) . if the ratio is over 1, disqualified, if not, gilded
the ratio for a user with 5000 posts and 10 bans with a maximum allowed 15 bans = .66... = gilded
for a user with 7000 posts and 14 bans = .622... = gilded
for a user with 5000 posts and 17 bans = 1.133... = disqualified
like i said, numbers are adjustable of course. but this sets up a relationship between ban count and, roughly, the amount of time spent here
you can still be a shit poster and not get banned
[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;48105763]you can still be a shit poster and not get banned[/QUOTE]
After all, I joined 43 months ago and got my first ban 3 months ago. My first post was shit posting about how Garry was ruining Garry's Mod.
[QUOTE=Hamsteronfire;48104154]lol don't apologise idk it just sounded off as if you were some high and mighty judge pardoning fruxo of some heinous crime or whatever[/QUOTE]
I find [I]"we"[/I] to sound a little silly too, because it's like you're in a position to speak for all of us. I would have probably said [I]"I personally..."[/I] or something.
The issue with this is the mods encouraged this kind of posting. Up until recently, it was like they couldn't post anything that WASNT ironic/cunty.
Remember when Craptasket banned the dead users? Thats the sorta thing I'm talking about. And now they want to completely overhaul the forums? lol Good luck.

to be fair banning dead users has a point. prevents their account from being hijacked and shit like that iirc

that could all be wrong but thats the justification i see for it

That's not why he did it, but nice try. Here's one of the profiles [url]http://facepunch.com/member.php?u=90512[/url]
He posted shit like "OWNED" and "Hows it hanging, heh" on them, before banning them. And now he wants US to stop being dicks? lol

More how you say it than purely disagreeing, ban history and you getting unbanned on Garry's birthday, which, usually any who fucks up from that gets rebanned right away.
Anyone doing that in a thread would be banned straight up, disgusting behavior honestly.
