What about creating a list of whose banned in where.
It sucks trying to get ahold of someone through a post and a week later find out that they were banned, thats why they didn't get ahold of you.
Just a thought, don't know if its a good one or not, or even if its been proposed or not, but i didn't find anything on the search posts feature

They once shot that idea down saying how they didn't want to create infamy with a list like that. They would prefer to just whisk offenders away to secret locations and keep the public outcries limited by way of no one knowing anything even happened.
Good idea though, for the reasons you illustrated. Banned people ought to be able to use PMs to complete trades they're in too. It's not the person they're trading with's fault they got banned, but it potentially fucks up trades for both of them when communication is halted.

Nope. I couldnt log on at all. I agree there should be a list, and also that the banned should be able to use the PM function.

Not anymore.
There used to be a forum of the banned, but after me and RESTLESS post whored it up, it was taken down.

Why wouldn't they have just banned you completely instead of taking an entire forum down? Your story makes no sense.

Sorry to disappoint, but you and Restless had nothing at all to do with the forum being taken down. Nor did any member, for that matter.

People banned from a forum can use the PM function. People banned from the site cannot.

So why not reinstate the forum of the banned then? It seems like a good idea. Why was it taken down?

The FotB, while in principle being a good idea, did not function anywhere near the capacity in which we had hoped. It was designed to facilitate resolution, understanding, and the ocassional appeal to various disciplinary actions - however, as the vast majority of the staff did not participate, it became rather useless and ineffective. Our support system has resumed its role as a method for banned members to inquire as to any actions taken against them.

Yeah but can banned people still be allowed to send and recieve PMs? At least when someone sends a PM to a banned person they should get an autoreply saying they're banned and for how long or something, don't you agree?

I know this idea was approached over a year ago, but I still think that a list of people that were banned should be made public.

Their user profile will state that they are banned, when they are banned. I don't see why anything more than that is necessary.

Interestingly, that was not an option I had a couple weeks ago. Not only did I get a blank screen for the message boards, I got a blank screen for the support ticket link in my ban notice and a blank screen when I tried to get to the main page of the entire Shroomery. Couldn't make a support ticket or view any teks. If I wasn't in the Shroomery Baseball League I might still be banned.

You annoyed somebody and they blocked your IP address at the router rather than simply banning your account. You got blank screens because your network traffic was dumped before it got to any of our servers.

We are fairly self-correcting.
