Banned People
 

Is it possible that we can get some sort of notice or indication that someone is banned?

Something simple like changing their user title would be good, or maybe giving them a humiliating (and humourous) avatar.

Banned people have red names and are given the User Title "A group of musicians."

There's also the forum leaders list you can get to from the main page (of the forums), which lists all the banned people as well as all the mods.

Just out of curiosity, who thought up "A group of musicians"? Cause I'd noticed a couple weeks ago that it was on all the people who'd been banned and wondered what the heck it meant . . . and I just figured it out . . . and that is abso-frikin-lutely hilarious!

That would be me.

Speaking of banned people, you know what all banned people should see?

This.

Oh wow. I am so going to use that.

I wish someone would go and be, like, a total, unforgivable douchebag, right now, just so I could use that.

Are mods able to change users' sigs/profiles at all besides titles? If so, you could slip the ytmnd link in there for kicks.

And what does "a group of musicians" mean? Am I missing something here?

[Edit:] Scratch that, I just figured it out. D'oh!

I'm still not gettin it...someone wanna fill me in?

Band
Banned

And yeah I didn't figure it out until Elbodo pointed it out.
Very clever Shiney.

Mesden gave the ytmnd link to me when I was banned for the day yesterday...

Quick question. Why are there some people that have "BANNED" instead of "A group of musicians"? I noticed a guy who had that instead of the usual title. Are they the people that are perma-banned?

They were the people who were only fake-banned.

"Were" because now that you know I have to go change it.

Hey, now, there's nothing wrong with being "BANNED." It's pretty sexy to be able to post with the bloody red font over my name.

It's as if Fifthfiend declared war on me and, somehow, I survived the onslaught.

Naw, you just ain't earned a death.

... he shall LIVE AMONG you as a FREAK - God's only man spared by The Fifthfiend!

I don't know Fifthfiend. I seem to have only been banned by you for 2 minutes. That seems like you sparred me. Except now I have white texty.:D

...something slightly more towards the topic; is there anyway to see what level of progression you're on towards being perma-banned? At one point, wasn't there a 4 strike rule? Warning/1day ban/2 week ban/permaban?

Three, if anything, namely warning/temp-ban/perm-ban, but it's always been at our discretion to skip any number of steps we feel is necessary. As for progression, you have to keep track yourself.
