Banning of individual forums

[Firehorse]

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?

My opinion.

I think this forum focuses a little too much on the discipline of its members for it to be at its best. There are no laws about how you ites like youtube would need filters by law, which they don't have so please stop rubbing it in our faces that you guys have the rights to bcannot say even the least offensive rude words online. If there was, san us etc because it just gets tired and boring hearing more about it .

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.

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.

You certainly have the right to say it and I am confused why it is in a spoiler.
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.

Banning, infractions, warnings for things like posting words such as s.h.l.t (yes who hasn't heard that word who isn't under 7 years old and who isn't on this forum who isn't over 11?) Even the word f.a.g is filtered and its only slang for a cigarette!

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.

I wouldn't even be posting this but I just came back from the arcades over the last two days having made a decent loss and the announcement of more kinds of banning on the forums just sent me into posting another rant. oh and putting stuff in a spoiler saves space

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.

Well I don't think I have ever known anybody banned for saying the poo word or the other word but on a personal basis yes I do think they are quite mild for the filter if used not to abuse/be rude to anybody. My view on that has been the same for years. 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.

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

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.

why dont this forum just let kids be kids within reason

Banning from certain forums and your spoiler rants on about something different :S. Being banned from a certain forum for say two days, is to let them cool off from an argument they may of had and they don't listen to previous advice from the moderators. 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.

We have never said you didn't have the right to express your feelings on a change.
