Banning of individual forums

[Jin]

What? Many people speak alike on this forum, how can you decide if that member is really the banned member?

*sigh* obviously we dont go by just that. Sometimes the members seem to think a bunch of apes are in charge of the banning on this forum I honestly wish they would back off just once in a while and think things through.

We become accustomed towards how a problematic member structures their posts and the way they "speak". This usually indicates to us that a particular new user should be investigated further to see if it is a problematic user. More often than not it usually is someone that we will want to ban, if we dont find any evidence to support this we wont ban the account until an offence is made.

I think the "Posting to Cause Arguments" rules is the most stupid thing ever. It should be removed and you should just get infractioned / warned if you are rude / breaking other forum rules... seems to work on other sites

ugh this is why i quit HxF a few months ago, and why other people diss this forum. it's too strict, and it's making it annoying and unattractive. The mods take their job too seriously, and I think the filter crap is just rediculous. Not to mention this stupid "causing arguments" post crap. I think people are allowed to argue, it's basically expressing your opinion, i don't see why people see arguments as really threatning and aggressive, because they're not. I have arguments with friends all the time, a lot of people do, but the fact we're not even allowed to do that is just unbelieveable. HxF sometimes reminds me of Egypt and the slaves, like the people who whipped the slaves are the Mods, and the people who get whipped (the slaves) are just the regular HxF members, cus that is actually what it's like sometimes.

Because sometimes the way people "post" can give the Mod/admin team hints of who they are. . The idea isn't going to be stopped for now.

Could you care to then explain why in the past I have seen people who were previously banned come back with the same username but with a slight alteration, most commonly username1 but then they are not banned again and can post for months on end. Basically it just sends out the message that the real meaning of the word "Ban" is just to simply rip you of your stats.

I have the right to post this btw moderators. Its called the right to free speech which is a right in the country this site is run from.

You're forgetting that HabboxForum is an independently owned site and the site admins have the right to do whatever they want. They can ban whoever they want for whatever reason - which I'm sure was in the rules and disclaimers you read when you joined.. :rolleyes:

Yes but as an admin of a huge Fansite, you should take into consideration what people want to change, because if you're just going to act like a total idiot and ban anyone because they feel like it and just do what they want, then the fansite will begin to lose it's reputation, as what it's doing now, which brings me back to my point on how the mods take their job too seriously and how people on this forum like you think they're the best thing since slice bread, using these sarcastic emoticons, obviously thinking that they're 100% right.

And what type of ban that would be then eh? Because anyone who gets a perm ban on HabboxForum is free to make a new account. The only one whos can't is the people who are on a temp/caution and on the autoban list.

That changes the whole meaning of the term "Ban". To ban someone means that they are no longer allowed to access what they are banned from. If you are permenantly banned from a country then they won't let you in at border control.
So basically its A) Telling people to piss off because they aren't wanted and at the same time saying "You are free to come back though under another name"

You may aswell just reset their statistics if you do that, otherwise there is no point to it.
