[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/SsAKB.png[/IMG] Huh? How'd that happen?

Maybe he silent banned himself by accident? V:v:V I mean it doesn't show a ban of himself in the event list

[QUOTE=Lexic;36532988][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/SsAKB.png[/IMG] Huh? How'd that happen?[/QUOTE] No, it's not me getting unbanned - it's me unbanning a person whose username didn't show up for whatever reason ( [url]http://facepunch.com/member.php?u=406310[/url] )

considering neither the ban nor the unban shows up in his eventlog its safe to say hes a wizard

Funnily enough, his ban didn't appear in the global ban list in the mod panel either :v:

This thread is disgusting [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1193946&p=36534111#post36534111]it really is[/url]

I was checking that out right now - alt of a perma'd user.

Thanks Gran

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;36530073]by ten minutes you mean an hour right because thats the lowest ban iirc[/QUOTE] I know back around when I joined they had shorter bans, less than half an hour.

At the bottom of the homepage it says "38,214 Active Users" What makes you count as an 'active user'? Do you need to have logged in in the past week/month/day or something or the sort?

Why do I see people recieving bans for posting in the wrong section (Perhaps accidentally or unknowingly) instead of being given a friendly nudge in the right direction or having said thread moved to the right section.

[QUOTE=GordonZombie;36536824]Why do I see people recieving bans for posting in the wrong section (Perhaps accidentally or unknowingly) instead of being given a friendly nudge in the right direction or having said thread moved to the right section.[/QUOTE] Because we don't have warnings here, short bans function as that.

question, why do some people get banned for image macros and some people dont? is there some sort of special rank you have to reach in order to post an image macro without getting banned? how can i reach that rank?

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;36536871]Because we don't have warnings here, short bans function as that.[/QUOTE] I'm not talking about warnings. I'm on about the fact that the reaction is always hostile. There's no polite request or mention that they're posting in the wrong section, and sometimes they don't realise it's the wrong section.

[QUOTE=GordonZombie;36536824]Why do I see people recieving bans for posting in the wrong section (Perhaps accidentally or unknowingly) instead of being given a friendly nudge in the right direction or having said thread moved to the right section.[/QUOTE] Because it's easier all around if people take some effort and make sure they're in the right section instead of just posting wherever they want and assuming the mods will deal with it. That's lazy. [QUOTE=GordonZombie;36536904]I'm not talking about warnings. I'm on about the fact that the reaction is always hostile. There's no polite request or mention that they're posting in the wrong section, and sometimes they don't realise it's the wrong section.[/QUOTE] It's really not hard to figure out what section your thread goes in, or ask us before you post it. Why would we need to make a polite request to post your threads in the right section anyways? That's obvious.

And also, /why/ can't blue members use the search function anymore?

^ Banable please?

Hm? For making a pretty simple enquiry? I read the OP and it didn't say why, just that it was disabled. An explanation would be appreciated. And even if it's been answered at some point in this thread I lack the time and the patience to search through each page.

[QUOTE=Laferio;36507001]search has been disabled for blue members to prevent overflow of traffic. Thus only gold members, and up can actually use the search.[/QUOTE] Stop being so lazy.

Last page gets results too [editline]28th June 2012[/editline] I mean 174 page

[QUOTE=zQaX;36537249]That's why [URL]http://api.facepunch.com/#/page/1/forum//thread//user//search/blue search disabled[/URL][/QUOTE] This link should be added to the op.

There's no polite request or mention that they're posting in the wrong section, and sometimes they don't realise it's the wrong section.[/QUOTE] The problem is that every once on a while there's a swarm of users posting threads in the wrong section - if they took 20 seconds of their life to look for the correct section they'd save me 40 seconds on banning them. However, I won't ban anyone who has posted in the wrong section if they have apologized about it in the OP and remade it in the correct section or something.

If they don't notice how can they correct it?

Hah so what's with the random 'Rated' messages? Or is it always like that...

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;36537810]If they don't notice how can they correct it?[/QUOTE] Sometimes they notice AFTERWARDS.
