Why do you ban people without giving them warnings. - General

[quote=kestaslt;17860040]they give you points for your spelling if you misspell something, they give you a -100 if you spell good, your points increase if you lose too much smarntess in one post or get - 3000 smartness points, you will get banned for 700? Days if you spell good - [u][highlight]congradulations[/highlight][/u], you get nothing.[/quote] [highlight]-100[/highlight]

Warnings are for pussies. Read the damn rules.

[QUOTE=CanibalMonke;17860051][highlight]-100[/highlight][/QUOTE] Yeah, i had - 450 smartness back in the day.

[QUOTE=CanibalMonke;17860051][highlight]-100[/highlight][/QUOTE] lol

[QUOTE=GordonZombie;17859618]Why do you always ban people without giving them warnings. You never give people chances, and even if they post in the wrong section by mistake, you ban them for a day, when you could simply lock the topic. Why don't you just give people chances and warn them first, then ban them. I'm not bitching, and I don't know if this is breaking rules, but please read this, not ban me.[/QUOTE] baww

[QUOTE=KestasLT;17860059]Yeah, i had - 450 smartness back in the day.[/QUOTE] I think the smartness system must have changed a bit from '07 to '08. I remember that each misspelled word was -10.

'cause the mods are cool like that yo.

[QUOTE=CanibalMonke;17860051][highlight]-100[/highlight][/QUOTE] Oh yeah, forgot to mention You reclaim those points by correcting your mystakes.

[QUOTE=KestasLT;17860075]Oh yeah, forgot to mention You recoop those points by correcting your mystakes.[/QUOTE] Yup. If you correct it, you get those good-y points back. Also, wasn't it that you needed at least 500 smartness to post a thread? I liked that system fairly well.

Some moderators will send a warning PM, but they often are ineffective. That's why we have 1 hour and 1 day bans.

[quote=kestaslt;17860075]oh yeah, forgot to mention you reclaim those points by correcting your {mystakes}.[/quote] -100

[QUOTE=Scrake;17860099]-100[/QUOTE] You should have seen my spelling back in 07. [editline]02:46PM[/editline] Back in the day, you were instabanned 7 days for saying "also cocks" Wait i'm gonna find a picture. Oh here's a picture [img]http://i36.tinypic.com/1821yx.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=WPlayer;17859658]welcome to Facepunch. Ever since 2008 there has been a soft treatment of bans. You should've been here in the 2005-2007 period, that was fun. [editline]03:45PM[/editline] also you have no rights to tell the mods that a ban is a harsh punishment. I think it's a pretty mild punishment nowadays.[/QUOTE] You wernt even on Facepunch untill late 07 so imagine how much you missed! I sadly was not thier either. Basicaly what everyone else said the one day ban is your warning

[QUOTE=Rombishead;17860144]You wernt even on Facepunch untill late 07 so imagine how much you missed! I sadly was not thier either. Basicaly what everyone else said the one day ban is your warning[/QUOTE] Oh God those were fun days Fun days indeed

The bans [I]are[/I]the warnings. Stick to the rules, and you won't get banned. Simple.

[QUOTE=FreeBee;17860149]Now tell me, what's the difference?[/QUOTE] You will get banned if you misspell too much. And you will also look dumber for misspelling, and vice versa.

[QUOTE=Scrake;17860028]Smartness system? What's that?[/QUOTE] Bahaha, you kids... I remember when I got Insta'd for saying lolwut Good times.

Don't forget half of the other ban words of the time. "stick it in her" "tl;dr" "n****r" "lolwut" I'm sure I missed a lot, but back in '08, people were smart enough not to say them often.

Fragbite has automated bans based on warninglevels 1-10. And to be honest, it sucks ass. Although I'm banned until April 2014 because of my 40+ warnings it doesn't affect my trolling a bit at all.

The temporary bans [I]are[/I] your warnings... there's worse things that can happen in the world than being banned from a forum.

"Rules for General Discussion - HEY READ THEM AGAIN" Hint.

[QUOTE=benos;17860183]Even by not saying them at all, "some" people were/are still dumb.[/QUOTE] True.

Why did Garry remove the rule list anyways?

This is not a discussion on the smartness ban people. Try and get back on topic.

[QUOTE=KestasLT;17860212]Why did Garry remove the rule list anyways?[/QUOTE] The rules are in the sticky on top in general.

[QUOTE=grea$emonkey;17860089]Some moderators will send a warning PM, but they often are ineffective. That's why we have 1 hour and 1 day bans.[/QUOTE] What about the one minute bans I've sometimes see?

There a reason I had 20 permad alts ventilated
