I think its a bad idea because well if you wanted to see it then you would just logout wouldn't you. The site is open to everybody and what is there to stop somebody making a new account?

One simple way to combat this, is to make new accounts under 15 posts not see the spam forum, and remove the spam forum for non-members.

I am little confused also as to what point you are trying to make here.
If you get banned from the spam forum, you can log out and you'll still be able to see all the posts within the spam forum, and if you want to reply you can easily create another account.Quote:

I got an infraction once for posting the word A..ss in a picture which was intented for light humour, and I don't think people notice but kids probably use the word a..ss more than adults do.
This is what I mean by over discipline and it is showing relation to the forms of communism which china uses to limit the use of internet access and what people can and cannot do.
Well we have always checked for people making new accounts to avoid temp bans/cautions so that is nothing new and not specific to a forum ban but I wouldnt know about being able to see the spam forum but the idea is that the person concerned wouldn't be able to post so I am not sure if that is a problem.Quote:

As far as an infraction for ass is concerned it must have been a long time ago as it has been removed from the filter for ages unless you called somebody it. I think your comparison of Habbox to china is unbelievably OTT.Quote:

How would you know who made a new account? I can change my ip in less than a minute simply by rebooting my router.Quote:

Yes, we could just caution them but that will then give them less features such as the private messaging system. This gives the user a break from that section. The bans are only offered out if they like breaking a typical rule in that area. For example: Posting to cause an argument. Plus, any person who is cautioned/banned can also just log out of the forum and see the forums again :S.
