This applies especially to the people getting kicked out!" I had something to say about this, but I didn't get a chance to reply. I know a member who was banned about 2 days ago. his name is ganon997. I know him from some other forum. Me and him got to be good friends, and I am conserened about what he told me. Ganon997 told me he tried to log on and was banned with no warning! He didn't even get an e-mail! He was banned for PM'ing people about Zelda Universe. He also toled me that that rule wasn't in the rules untill the day after he joined, and he didn't see it! He was banned for no reason! I think it is messed up when you do something like this! JAMES if you read this, please let him come back! On the othere forums he is on he does not ever break the rules! AND you SAY that you give a warnng to newbies! Ganon997 didn't get any warning, and he was on for 1 or 2 days! HE was a NEWBI! I thought you said they get a chance! I think you should let him come back. Will you? I will E-Mail him the answer you give me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyGirl Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 [color=deeppink]I didn't ban him...and I honestly can't believe that any other SM or James would ban without solid reason. Please PM James directly about things like this, rather than posting it :)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do [b]not[/b] want to get my attention by posting in the main forums -- this is what our Private Message function is for. Messaging me here will only get you the [i]wrong[/i] kind of attention. As for ganon997, he was banned for two reasons. Firstly, he was banned for sending unsolicited PMs to members -- a member forwarded a PM he had sent to them...and it was utter spam. They didn't even [i]ask[/i] for information on the site, yet they received what was essentially an ad. People should not join our forums for the express purpose of advertising their site. Secondly, ganon997's post quality was pretty poor. And that's saying it lightly. Furthermore, I noticed that a number of other staff were forced to move/delete/edit his posts quite often since he joined as he was continually spamming on the forums. He either didn't read our rules or he just didn't follow them. Either way, ganon997 probably would have been banned sooner if I'd had the time. This is one of the members who I referred to in the No Tolerance Status thread whereby I said that several new members are banned each week (sometimes only after a couple of posts), because their posts are [i]so[/i] bad that they don't warrant further attention. We do not somehow pass off our duties...and we do not ignore them either. But you must realize that our forums now have more than 2,500 members...it is simply [i]impossible[/i] to negotiate every single situation to great detail -- my staff don't have the time for it, and I certainly don't have the time for it myself. Therefore, as the forums get larger, this kind of thing is bound to happen. I don't have time to "sit down" with each member and go into great detail about the rules. If their post quality is undesirable, they won't be permitted here -- the same as for any other forum on the Internet.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
