thats fine and dandy but obviously you(mods) havent been emailing people as to why, i didnt recieve one, jedi's bro didnt get one, sigsays didnt get one, joey d didnt get one, look at all the recent threads about what happened to so and so's account.

how are they supposed to check their PM's if they can't log in.....

[cphilip]

Again... what was the user name of you brother? So I can check that out...

And again people I will repeat in caps....MOST OF THE PROBLEMS WITH ACCOUNTS LATELY WERE USER CAUSED WHEN THEY CHANGED THEIR EMAIL AND DID NOT RESPOND TO THE EMAIL THAT IS **AUTOMATICALY** GENERATED THAT TELLS THEM TO REPLY TO ACTIVATE THE ACCOUNT USING THAT NEW EMAIL ADDY!

We Mods or Admins don't send that one, the software does it automaticaly. We also do not know wether you replied or not until you complain you cant get in and we find your status that way. We do not know they even changed it. Its automatic. But it involves a reply from that new email to confirm it works and is yours. You have to do that. Not us.

Unless they reply they end up in limbo until they have us check it out and see why. And when we do it says "User awaiting email confirmation" when we go look. And that means they DID NOT follow the instructions in the email or see the email and reply to activate the account under the new email. Its their fault it happens most often than not. Not ours. So I fail to see your point here at all.


Again....MOST OF THE ONES I HAVE CHECKED RECENTLY and the I think some of the ones ones you are harping on WERE THOSE! Not anything to do with bans not being emailed to the banned person. Not at all. Its a totaly different thing altogether.

So thats why I asked you about his user name. If no one knew he was banned, nor reported him banned and he thought he was, it might have been one of those that I corrected and not a ban at all! See what I am asking for? See where I am going with that? Thats why I asked for the information. You didn't give it to me at all. I can check on it and tell you. If its a missing email I can tell that too and that can happen but its pretty rare. So I would like to check. Your not correct that its happening all the time. That I do know. We have had like three bans in the last week and three messed accounts from not confirming. And this is the only one says they didn't get the email or claimed not to. So I would like to check on your brother as well and see which category he is in. Some weeks we have no bans at all.

But I will also remind us all to make sure we email. Now that some guest features are turned off it might be the only way. But still we get many who claim they never got them and we realy have no way to know which are lying to us and playing dumb and which ones just didn't get em. Its not a perfect world or perfect system. Nor are any of us perfect. We do our best.

Or people could just...stop breaking the rules.

well...cphillip - impostal22 never got an email telling him he got banned or whatever. he was never notified as to why he was banned, and the only way to find out was to create another account, because admin email accounts aren't accessible. furthermore, he never received (or read) the warning given about his signature. his email account was never changed, so it isn't that. he never wanted to disobey, and didn't know his sig was offensive because he never received a warning. such is life, i suppose.

[cphilip]

Partly that is incorrect. I just went and looked at the record. He was communicated with and given a period of time to remove his signature. He did not. He failed to act or reply to the email at all. So he was banned. We are not going to get into a he said she said thing with someone... its your responsibilty to post apropriately. I could care less if your argument is that your dog ate your homework. We might be wrong and it might not be fair but its all we can do is give resonable notice and then act. People will just ignore the emails when they mean to be difficult. The most common response I get is I didn't know or no one told me. And in many cases I know thats just not true. I will have to say in a small percentage it may be. If so many did not use that excuse manybe it would be believable to me. We have no way to know if they are doing that or the rare something happened. We have to act at some point He has never discussed that with anyone since....He has not asked to return and that signature image is still in his account of course which I can show you how offensive it was. And you seem to know a lot about it...so at some point I have to wonder...I will take a look at your relationship. He is free to email me and we can talk about his return. [email protected]

im with restola, is it really necesary to defy the rules; use all sorts of symbols instead of a swear word. do people on here bug u some much that u fell the need to swear. i think thats hilarious. why do u let someone u dont even know or have even seen for that matter get to you.

[WicKeD_WaYz]

there are over 15k people on this board I would say it stays pretty trouble free for the most part.

[SpongeBobSquarePants]

Good work Cphil, Props to you. You only the trouble makers are asking for why there banned, and we all know you know why your banned. So want don't you all calm down and be good little boys like me.

how quickly would you have banned somebody for addressing an image like the one you addressed to Squid? do mods get special rights to insult people just because they are mods? if thats the case id like to become a mod! kidding kidding. but seriously, i dont think its right that you told Squid to suck lemons knowing fully well that you wont get into trouble while, had squid told you to suck lemons he would be AO-less for 3 days. it just seems kind of unfair to me, but what do i know, its probably an inside joke between you two and i just waisted this time. i just thought that id share my opinion


edit:spelling and to tell impostal22: if you arent IP banned then quit making new names, suck it up and wait for 3 days. be the bigger man

Making stuff up are we?

Squid accused me of abusing my powers, which I do not appreciate. You also have made accusations. Please provide an example in which I banned someone w/o just cause. You won't be able to.

The only reason why you are singling me out is because I provided the warning that he was banned... If I abused my powers, why would I even let anyone know what I was doing? It would all be done in stealth. But of course, I don't do that because I have no reason to.

And also, you misinterpret my picture. It means: "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." I seem to have misplaced my go-jump-in-a-lake picture, and used that one instead. And of course it's not something anyone would get banned for, that's ridiculous. And what makes you think my mod status shelters me from anything? In fact, there is LESS I can say because of it.

Professional victims... with imaginations.
