When Someone is Banned

~~Dirty~~ · 02-11-2011, 02:06 PM

Alright, little idea I got here.

When someone is banned, why not display on their profile when they were banned and for what reason, and how long the ban is in effect until? Like I can see on my own profile my "infractions" but not anyone elses. Someone like RandyMarsh (just a recent example) gets banned and nobody knows why or for how long. Why not just make it available?

Why do you need to know so badly?

Yeah, we mods like having inside information. Maybe if you ask nicely we will tell you.

Its showing why in the moderators hate mail topic..the dude is relentless and patronizing the mods

It isn't a life or death situation. Forgive me if that is how it sounded.

But why leave people in the dark when people are interested? Everytime someone is banned people speculate about it and wonder. Why not just have it available?

I don't know why people bother speculating.
99/100 it's usually someone having a meltdown and is usually deleted so there's nothing to see anyway.

Yeah I see that, I was just using him as an example. Not sure if a reason was ever really given for him being banned initially even though I wasn't a fan of him anyways. It's like if I hop on MB tomorrow and you are banned, I'd be interested as to why. My guess would be drunken insults

but your posts would be deleted and I'd wanna know why.

This, and if were to ever be temp banned from a forum, I personally wouldn't want everyone knowing why. It's not anybody's business.

So... when someones banned you don't think anyone is interested as to why? Or for how long?

Why not just wait until the person comes back and ask them yourself?
If they want everyone to know, then they'll make that info available.
