Banned users should be allowed to see a forum called "Why Am I Banned?"
In here, they can appeal against their ban. Only that person and the admins would be able to see the thread. This way it would be easier for admins to reply. Also this way, threads cannot be easily ignored. Half the e-mails arent even answered when people appeal for a ban (especially if MAD bans that person).
Saurav,
I have started to do the support e-mails, there is a lot to get through and I have about 50 more to complete, so yours is probably in that queue. Please bare with me.
Tom
But wouldnt a forum be easier? The person appealing can also know if his/her appeal was ignored.
Have fun with that Tom.
Yeh I sent one ages ago and had no reply - They say use the contact us to appeal a ban but it ages till you get a reply..
Or sometimes you never get one.
If you re-send the e-mails I will get through them, we recently updated the webmail system and some e-mails where deleted in the changeover.
You would never have that problem with a forum xD
But then again what I want a reply from a server technician.
I cant remember which forum it was, but they used to have a Ban Camp. It was an area that once you were banned, only banned members and admin can see it and use it. There was like a forum called "The Hostel" and it was where you could communicate with other banned users and another forum where people could appeal.
I personally think the idea to have a forum that only the banned can see is a good idea.
I'm sure when MAD see's this thread he will make a decision with other forum management to make it or not, until then you will have to use the contact form to appeal against your bans.
Tom
I guess he will say No ... so he can ignore appeals for bans which were unfair :)
MAD doesn't read the support e-mails, I do from now on :) and as you know I don't take sides which I've expressed before.Quote:

But he doesn't read them so what's the problem.
A thing called the delete button
He's not out to get you or anything =/
I don't think it's a good idea to have a forum for banned members. The whole point of banning is to exclude them from the forum. We will just have to make sure the support emails are answered regularly.
Tom has been doing the support emails for a 2 weeks now :).Quote:

There nothing wrong with MAD, he not gonna come and go through emails and remove emails Rofl.
I mean, I'm sure MAD did some mistakes but it doesnt mean he cant do he job good,
For all you know, tom could be removing the e-mails ^^
EDIT: No offence to you tom ^^ [Just a lilttle point]
^ suckup.
Why is it everyone who says somthing not negative about mad is suddenly labled a "suckup" now? I mean could you at least come up with something more interesting to call people? or maybe somthing that would have some vaige impact of there statements validty would be nice, although probably asking to much, come to think of it?Quote:
