How do I check bann duration? [Mod edit: Discussion about Mod/PM assistance moved - Link inside.]

edited February 2014 in The Walking Dead

Account was banned, no information given. How do I check the length of the bann?


Mod Edit: The discussion regarding Mods/PM assistance has been moved to General Chat, and the question in the original post has been answered. I'm now going to close this thread.

  • you can probably guess from the reason you were banned in the first place.

  • When I first heard Cactus got banned I was like Andy by the end of Episode 2, if you chose "They're both dead!" option.

  • I agree with you, Instead of banning The people who stand up against all the clowns killing the forum they should bann all these trolls who do nothing good for this place and good people have left because they feel bothered by what they do with the whole downvoting thing

    Quite often actually. The few times I contacted them I get a response rather quickly.

    If it's clearly against the rules, then you shouldn't do it, no matter who the person is or what they are doing. It's because people are feeding the trolls and falling for their tomfoolery is why they are being banned. There is no rule for being stupid in the forum, but there is one for personal attacks, and calling someone a c**t is considered a personal attack. Though banning would be excessive, it's not an out-of-the-ordinary punishment.

    How is not an out-of-the-ordinary punishment? How often do you see people banned on this forum for insulting trolls? Especially people who make far more positive contributions than negative.

    I only wanted to know how long I was banned for, because mods see it fit to leave us in the dark. I don't plan on asking to be unbanned, assuming the bann isn't permanent.

    Also, what is your theory on why Jabba is still around after all of the harassment he has done? What about that "I want Clem to die" troll and the others?

    Also, it is far more effective to remove the troll than the person who is baited by the troll. Do you not agree?

    They are insulting a fictional character, and that is not against the rules. The trolls skim by the rules by getting on people's nerves by insulting their favorite characters. Look at what's his face, Baraggan. He excels at making fun at Clem, because he knows it bothers people. You can't react violently, just be cool about it.

  • I am talking about how Jabba was following Jill around and insulting her in all of her threads. I understand why Baraggan is still around to some extent, but he is still an obvious troll that should be dealt with.

  • There is only so much a Moderator can do. Most of the time, we just have to look out for each other rather than put all our reliability on the Mods, because the Mods aren't gods and they can't be everywhere at once.

    So hey, Riadon, why don't you and Cactus wait out your ban over here where it's cool and not full of trolls?

    I've only got one word...

  • Damn straight! Sorry man, can't wait until youre both back in action!

    "Only the good die young."

    I think that is rather fitting for the moment....

    I've only got one word...

  • Somebody please explain to me .. who's shaundi?

    I've only got one word...

  • Some troll who was banned.

    I'm not saying more than that since talking about banned users is technically a forum guideline violation, but I'll let it slide for now.

  • edited February 2014

    Former user. Not actually a troll, I think, but she rubbed a lot of people on here the wrong way with her attitude. Anyway, she's banned now but she may or may not have an active alt account.

    I'll let you stick around for a bit before your alt gets banned since you've been helpful with the whole PM issue. According to what I've seen, a reason for the ban was written, so you should have been given the explanation on your ban notice. Did you check your profile feed, or can you not do that while banned??

  • I checked it but I didn't get a PM (probably because of the issue), and you can check your profile feed while banned.

    No, I mean that the ban notice itself should show up as its own entry on your profile feed (just as a notice for new thread replies or PMs would) if I understand correctly. Is this not the case?

    [sigh] We need more members.

    It's a nice place but we can go a while without anyone posting so it can get a little boring over there. Which is a shame because we have way more functionality over there than over here.

    We have polls, user rankings, emoticons, a non-anonymous like system (but no dislike system), a PM system that actually works, and complete control over what goes on over there since it's a fan-run site.

    I just want to be able to talk to people about these games somewhere that resembles an actual forum and not a comment section.

    ...So yeah. I really like that other forum.

  • Nah, I'm cleaning the thread out is all so others can quickly see the PM discussion without "hiding" comments.
