Amnesty of active members with banned accounts

[Dentafrice]

moderators are not allowed to see the funny side of things. ah well, the rest of the forum misses out on my amazing posts.

I still love you.

You all just want the post count which results in a bigger e-penis.

Why do you need a second chance? You have made a new account, just get on with it.

You've hit the nail on the shaft right there.

I think the better idea would be to open the door to a single appeal for old account bans that were improperly issued. The problem I have with amnesty is what I've observed with Habbox is as time goes on, once someone takes the step of introducing it, the qualifications are slowly battered down until they become ridiculous. I don't want to implement the amnesty thing because I think the requirements will be knocked down and down the road Habbox will suffer for it. It won't happen while I'm GM but believe it or not I do care about what Habbox will be after I leave, its not about looking good and going out and being like, well when I was GM things were awesome.

Once the step is taken it usually progresses and gets more lax, not the other way.

I also think of second chance a different way, I think that your ability to use the forum is the second chance you're getting, not necessarily with your own account.

Sorry for not replying to posts, but I think I'm taking a slightly different tack here so it may be easier (and less time consuming considering the length of my monster post) to go off of this tangent.

All of the (asst)forum managers and (A)Gm's replies all seen to be very dismisses in this thread, which isn't much of a coinsidence?

I think chances should be given. Everyone makes mistakes, some now, some in the past and I think everyone deserves the chance to behave themselves and have their old accounts unbanned and merged if they wish. I personally don't have much to get back as I have had another account by the name of "e5" perm banned, but then created a second account and had the name changed to "e5" deleting the banned account completely.

I want my old account back.... it was perm banned by Barkseh ages ago when I had not broken enough rules to deserve that kind of ban...

Now I find that funny! Great dry humour there Wootzeh.

Nvr seems to be taking the right direction.

I think the answer for the future maybe, for the manual bans to be checked to make sure they are fair rather than relying on the contact form. I don't think it would be too onerous and would provide a quality check. With the automatic banning system there aren't that many manual bans and all infractions are checked, anyway.

not sure if im allowed to post this dododo

As of right now this ban is too old to be looked at since it wasn't appealed within the 2 week grace period to appeal old bans, however the rules may be altered to allow you to appeal once. Keep tuned! There will be an announcement made if it happens.

If an improved appeals system is the solution, how long before we will be able to put forward an application?

As soon as I figure out a way that will prevent people from slipping in extra ban appeals that will also allow people to appeal old bans.

Which, now that I think of it, is excruciatingly simple, the only fault being that people who don't remember the passwords to their banned accounts would be screwed.
