Repercussions of requesting a ban.


Mike Hawk

Recommended Posts

So I requested a ban a while back because I had some IRL stuff to take care of. 

As of now I have 5 warning points (I guess that's the only way to ban someone from the forums?) and I no longer have access to that thread. 

I dunno if this was intentional, but I think it's a little weird/ unfair.

When I received the ban it told me I received 5 warning points for spamming in the thread, and now I have those points and can't access the thread.

I don't think it was intentional. Maybe just PM the mod who gave you the points and ask about it?

Warning a person is the easiest way by far to ban a person. You can get banned with any number of warning points, even 0, but only after you have accumulated 5 warning points in total. (If you have 3 then 2 will do to ban you). You had 0 points prior to the request ban so 5 were handed out.

 

And the thread not showing up for you is very weird. The thread nor your post has been hidden/deleted I don't know what's going on there

Wait, wait, can someone clear this up; Is this people requesting their own ban, or a ban for someone else? 

You can only request bans for yourself.

It would be really awesome to be able to request bans for someone else.

You mean a report? Otherwise that sounds like the worst idea ever. Think of the abuse and fraudulent requests...

What warning points?

I was more wondering if it was possible for me to get my warning points removed? I requested a 1 week ban and got 3 warning points, so was wondering if I could get these removed.

I have requested a few bans in the past and I dont have any warning points atm, it might just be for some users or dependant on which mod issued the ban?

Mods can't forum ban without giving warnings.
