Some things do not make sense?!

[kk.]

I think their are two things that need to be brought up. For one, when a thread turns into a fight, a moderator closes it. However, it just doesn't make sense for the mdoerator to say 'feel free to make the same thread again but make sure their are no arguments' or something along those lines. Surely it makes forums cleaner to either keep the thread closed and not open another or to leave it open and put a warning in the thread saying do not discuss whatever...

Also, the fact that when people get permanently banned they are able to make another account? This doesn't make sense either. Surely some things are obvious that they are the same member and you can even do an IP check or e-mail address. These two things do not make sense since it completely contradicts what happened in the first place. If a member is banned, their is a reason so they shouldn't be allowed back until the ban is ended or just let them back on their original account.

If this makes sense discuss it please

I don't see why they can't PM the members arguing to tell them to keep it to PMs and to remove offending posts :/ Closing the thread just cuts off discussion, which, of course, defeats the point of a thread in a forum.

Again, they could just PM the person in question to tell them to calm down and come to some sort of agreement. I'm against bans anyway, they never work and it's alot easier to PM someone about whatever issues they have. Not only do they see you in a good light, it also solves having to hit the ban button every 5 mins.

I agree, I think those are 2 very good ideas, which would help save wasted space on the forum, i.e. countless new accounts, and new threads of the same topic.

I guess it's too bad they never installed the ban users from thread option. That's help with the first option atleast.

lol, that was my idea as well. It would solve a whole lot of things. Anyway, agreed with the things people have said

Certain members, as you know, are not allowed back after receiveing a perm. ban - The autoban list. Whilst this is a small list, it's the people that we feel should not be on this forum. If you get a ban for whatever reason, generally you're allowed back on another account as a "second chance" - If you abuse that, and continue, you end up on this list.

As for the PM's about arguements - This does happen. If it continues, however, warnings/infractions are issued and the thread is often closed to resolve the conflict.

yeh but it still doesnt make sense for them to make another account. Theyre the same person and wouldnt have changed. They will still generally act the same and all it does it make habbox look like it has a lot of members and clogs up the forum. Do you have any feedback for the multiple threads if ones closed? because it still doesnt make sense that ones closed to stop arguments yet another one is free to be opened only arguments cannot happen. But they still do...

Surely to save the arguments of them returning, you talk to them? Banning them and telling them they have one last chance doesn't help. You ask them to calm down and see why they're playing up. Telling them if they continue they'll get banned doesn't work, you have to imagine working in a school and dealing with 15/16 year olds. Telling them something never works, but talking to them about their problems does And I know for certain that this isn't the case, otherwise their would be proof around the forum with people not playing up

Aha true. I was just told 'MAD banned you so you dont have a chance of coming back' i just thought, ok, thats really fair. Didnt even get a chance to argue my case "/

Someone should be fired then for saying that, if they can't let someone argue their case (even though it's obvious the ban is unfair), then they're not needed to be honest :/ Wasn't it sierk that said banning members leaves the staff with more respect than unbanning them? Kinda discredits it with this case

Hmm, kinda wrong what I said, he said it would be a bad precedent. As far as I am aware, it's respect over future decisions, especially with a teen run community. Nothing's more sadder than teens thinking they're uber powerful and changing the way they should treat people, even though they're the same age as the people they're dealing with
