[bigpaws]

This is another example of a member being banned here only to re-register and be allowed to continue posting anyway ...........

claudia is banned using this username ...........

Then returns using this username .............

Patricia can't you follow up on the bannings of the likes of claudia and anita (banned as hotspothoney, posting as straightarrow) so that the ban can be taken seriously???

There is an old saying- "better the devil you know than the devil you dont" What is the point of banning someone when they can so easily reappear under a different guise. It is better to recognise the name and know who you are dealing with. I know nothing of the individual that you are referring to here but in every open society there will be the few sociopaths whose idea of fun is annoying other people. Like with a child throwing a tantrum it is best ignored.

I don't agree with banning people either (except in extreme cases) but if Patricia does decide to ban someone then surely she should follow up on it or why bother banning people at all??????

Hi,

We can ban peole in 2 ways:

[1] Ban their account (but of course they can still create a new one)

[2] Ban the IP address they are coming from. This means they are totally banned from the message boards, can't open a new account etc, so long as their IP remains the same. However they could go to an Internet Cafe where they'd have a different IP or similar and post from there. Plus, dependent on their connection to the Internet, their IP might not be fixed anyway, i.e. If they used dial up they'd probably get a new IP quite often which would mean they could be posting from home again soon.

Another issue with banning IP addresses is that you could be banning more than you want to, i.e. You don't really want to ban all the users of a popular Internet cafe, but if you ban the IPs of one person who used that cafe, that's what you end up doing.

I just banned those 2 users you mentioned (thanks) but the reason users do come back after being banned sometimes is that we are hesitent to ban IPs unless we really have to, in case we block access for other users at the same time (we have banned Internet cafes before, and only realised it when another user has said "How come it says I banned when I go to the net cafe on Dame Street?" etc). Doesn't happen often I admit, but this is a problem that could occur more often if we banned IPs more often. Also, I guess it is a time issue - Unless somebody is really causing a lot of trouble, we don't usually get around to investigating them.

I hope this goes someway to explaining how things work, even if it isn't offering any sort of solution really.

Thanks for that Patricia .............. my main problem is with users being banned for whatever reason and then coming back to continue doing whatever it was that got them banned in the first place and being quite open and blatant about it, ie. hotspothoney/straightarrow who joked about picking the username "banned" next time!!
If however someone is banned then re-registers but has learned their "lesson" so to speak then I don't see a problem with them posting again ............ everyone deserves a second chance afterall ........... but not a third, fourth, fifth etc!!!

I was just wondering,

You can tell me to mind my own bees-wax but I would just like to ask how tsJennifer got banned? I've seen her on another escort site and checked her website. However there were no reviews of her available.

A) Does she actually look like that?

B) Is she a nut job? Like I mean, how can you be banned?

Just a couple of questions guys.
