I've seen mods ban someone for 5 minutes as a joke, so what's with the 1 day minimum? What are the qualifications time wise for each of the bannings?

Yeah, alright. I've had my fill, just wanted a bit of harmless fun.

That's called banning someone for whatever time frame, and unbanning them a minute later.

The one day minimum is simply the preset option that's available to us.
Again, there are no qualifications for banning time, other than simply what the moderators agree on and decide to select from the preset list.

Can you ban someone from specific parts of the site, or just MB in general? (sorry to play 20 questions)

Bans only apply to MB in general. You can still view the site, but you cannot log in.

I don't mind the questions.

I've overcome a couple permabans, I'm quite aware lol. I recall making superflous accounts during my bans so that I could still post, but they all knew it was me. I also recall telling everyone that I hope they all die in their sleep (I think that one bought me a month). MB was a different ballpark back in the day, it was like the wild west (but with less syphilis). I used to be such a douche, seriously, ask Urban and RT.

I have a question for you, then.
In your bans, how often would you find yourself viewing the site?

[MERIT]

I don't remember exactly, being that it was so long ago. Most likely, right after my ban, I viewed it nonstop for a few hours to see what was being said. I viewed it a few times a day over the next few days, and then gave up and waited it out. Then when my ban was over, I made an "I hate you all" type of return thread that garnered me another ban. I was young and dumb, but fiesty as hell. I deserved what I got.
