forever!

ok so we got one forever and one throw'd hands up in the air....I vote chili cheese fritos

now we just wait for sugar britches and the rest of the council of NI to vote...

YouTube Video Placeholder

I think Kara, Mil, Ramy, Dame (His Royal Magesty King Dameshi of Top Lane (who has always been)), Misa and a handful of others bring the tally to, at least, ten now.

EDIT: And it's looking like a resounding "No!"

There is zero chance of this happening. Anyone who manages to get a ban from one of those two gets it for a reason; case-by-case, sure, it can be revoked, but mass removal of topic bans is never, ever happening.

I believe it was aelius spearheading it and it was regarding the full site.

I do. And maybe he'll agree with you, and do it, but I don't want any part of that. There's no good mechanism for removing a bunch of topic bans, so it's all manual work, to what end? A lot of the people involved have left, and the ones who haven't, if they wanted back into a particular thread, they could make their case on their own.

I know I'm not included in the list but I propose for all bans from RT and NI removed and give everyone a fresh start, to see if they become repeat offenders here as well or can handle it healthily.

If we compare the two who were ousted at the same time, one of them begrudgingly continued to ***the bed probably two or three times the amount of the eighteen months they were banned from here.

The other didn't. (From what I've seen anyway.)

I just see something like 18 months as excessive. For all we know 99% of these bans expired and staff just simply forgot to reinstate them or notify the user to know they are welcome back etc

Topic bans are, by their nature, not time-limited. In part that's because threads weren't meant to live as long as ones like this one do; that's why I say that people don't get topic banned from Ni/RT/Random P+R lightly.

Josiah Monstruo said: »
On the bolded hmmm, could you just create a list page of all users banned from a certain thread (or the whole site if the numbers are small enough, I have no idea) and beside their names, the time given and date assessed etc? Or is the database not conducive for that type of thing.

I could, but to what end? There's no real reason to mass un-topicban short of declaring a general amnesty, and if that happens, we'll do it via SQL in the database.

To help create transparency between staff and make doing the job easier. Imagine how handy it would be to just have a "banned" link at the top of threads and any staff can click it and see any bans that have happened for that thread by whom and the date it was give/the reason. "okay I need to clearly keep an eye on this guy, been banned 2 times here both for the same problem."

you'd all be in the loop all the time, with minimal work right? since it's not like you are stuck banning hundreds per day or anything. But no I'm not going to pursue any of this mass-unbanning stuff with Aelius, am just thinking out loud at this point.

We already have a reasonable interface for seeing someone's history, that's broader than just per-topic.

The forum poster base isn't all that big (like, 10% of the site's active users, if that); the troublemaker contingent is even smaller. It's really not that hard to keep track of.

Also, anyone getting topic banned from the same thread more than once is staying that way.

Anyway, something that isn't ModTalkâ„¢:

My stupid phone finally died. I'm begrudgingly leaning towards the iPhone 6, even though it's a boat anchor. Thoughts?

I have the 6 plus and it's great if you utilize it's features, like 1080p HD video on long trips or something or extensive browsing where a larger screen reading small text really helps.

But I say just stick with another 4 or 5 really, for the average person. What did you use before?

4S, which I really like the size and heft of. The only reason I lean towards a 6/6+ is that I hate changing phones and would like to get something with staying power.

There's a version with a larger screen like the 6/6+, great battery life, and much better reliability. It's called a Samsung Galaxy.

Are you talking about my Amnesty thread from years ago for people who were permabanned for non-legit reasons due to past staff decisions?
