Guest TJH Report post Posted August 20, 2002 Would it be possible for the Mods to make a post when someone has been banned, and give the reasons why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TestKick Report post Posted August 20, 2002 I don't agree, because then it turns into an arguing post about why or why not that person should have been banned. With the exception of maybe 1 or 2 people, it's been rather obvious why people have been banned. So, no need to start up little wars in this forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted August 20, 2002 Would it be possible for the Mods to make a post when someone has been banned, and give the reasons why? We don't need to. Someone will see a name in the red and immediately make a post wondering why they were banned. It's painfully obvious why the vast majority of the time, but I guess that never stopped some folks. Besides, any post asking or telling why someone got banned invariably starts arguments and controversy, and I don't think it's the job of the moderators to stir up that kind of mess.

Guest The Czech Republic Report post Posted August 21, 2002 I wish I would've been notified about how I was banned back under the Botter regime... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted August 21, 2002 I think that person being banned should be notified as to why they are banned. They could be e-mailed, or the reason could be posted in a thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TestKick Report post Posted August 21, 2002 The person being banned should be notified, and warned beforehand to stop doing what he's doing... but announcing things publicly would only make things worse, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted August 21, 2002 We do give warnings to those who are about to be banned. They get one warning (at least, that's all they get from me) informing them of the behavior they need to stop. If they soon find they can't post here, I don't think what happened in the intervening time is too difficult to figure out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted September 4, 2002 i think we should explain why people are banned, cos half the time it just looks as if they were banned for liking wrestlers the majority don't like, and everyone looks kinda pathetic ganging up on them and banning them. If they flame people then fine fuck them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest areacode212 Report post Posted September 5, 2002 Nobody has ever been banned for liking a wrestler. The most common reasons are flaming and/or trolling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted September 6, 2002 Nobody has ever been banned for liking a wrestler. The most common reasons are flaming and/or trolling. I don't really post here anymore (other than in the new OAOAST folder!) so the rules might have been changed...but is it actually a rule now that trolling is illegal in NHB? I mean if anything goes in there shouldn't that mean Trolling is OK too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bob_barron Report post Posted September 6, 2002 Code- You mean I won't be banned for liking Regal???? WOO-HOO! CWM- Trolling isn't allowed in NHB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Some Guy Report post Posted September 6, 2002 I said it there and I'll say it here, it is No Holds Barred, not No Trolls Barred. Keep getting rid of the Testkicks and Ahmed Johnson's of the board Mods, it really helps keep this place fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted September 6, 2002 If the trolls aren't going out of the NHB folder and they aren't being racist or anything in the NHB folder it makes no sense to ban them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Some Guy Report post Posted September 6, 2002 Yeah but if they have clearly shown up to add nothing to the board but flambaiting why let them waste space? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest J*ingus Report post Posted September 6, 2002 There's no official ruling, but basically it goes like this: if the poster ONLY trolls and adds nothing useful at all to the board, then they're zapped. Like I said, a new poster with the name "HossesRule" who does nothing but flame other people about how much Benoit sucks is gonna get axed, because they're obviously just trying to pick fights and aren't putting in anything productive.

Guest AlwaysPissedOff Report post Posted September 6, 2002 If the trolls aren't going out of the NHB folder and they aren't being racist or anything in the NHB folder it makes no sense to ban them Well CWM, all the bannings that have taken place recently except for Perfect Plex's first banning is because the same guy came back like 3 or 4 times with a different username until Dames IP'ed his ass. Personally, I'm kinda like Tom in that I'll give 'em one warning and if they don't learn from that, fuck 'em, they are history. And Jingus pretty much hit it right on the head about trolls not contributing anything at all to the board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted September 6, 2002 Other than various Smarkzone identities... I don't know of anyone who has been banned for what they have posted in the NHB folder. They always stray into the other folders...and they usually don't last long. But...about 80% of the people banned in the last month were all Smarkzone.

Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted September 7, 2002 That's not true. I was goofing around the other night in NHB and only NHB posting as X Killer Maybe Gona Hit Em Up and I got banned with no warning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted September 7, 2002 I loved that screen name. I don't know why, maybe because it turns into a rap lyric so easily. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2002 That's not true. I was goofing around the other night in NHB and only NHB posting as X Killer Maybe Gona Hit Em Up and I got banned with no warning. CWM, I'm pretty sure the reason your X Killa name was banned is because a similar name was banned before and someone just assumed the person got around the ban.

Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted September 8, 2002 Dispite the many similarities between Hogan and Mr. X (no talent,etc) Mr.X shouldn't make a come back for the simple reason most people don't seem to have a sense of humor any more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
