I don't think it will be an official ban log, since that one covers the entire site and it's for staff only, but I don't see any reason to list those bans that impact the OT.
BUT, if we see a trend of people trying to get banned just to see their name in there, the policy will be changed immediately. (which has always the main arguement for not having it public in the first place)
We'll have to see how it goes.

Also our official logs include all the spam bots which far outnumber anything else. That one's kind of boring.

the problem with that is that it will look like this:

CellPhone1385739 - permaban - adbot
1337h4aXX0RLOL666 - permaban - spam scripts
Asher - Typical Stuff - (Undertermined)
BuyStuffNOW3574289 - permaban - adbot
ThisSiteSUCKS696969 - 2 weeks - trolling RoN Forum
SUPERDEALS777 - permaban - adbot

etc...

see my point? We would have pages and pages of crap and would have to sort out the REAL Bans. Also what if Some of those aformentioned posters decided to turn around and become REAL posters and members of the community?

wow creepy X Post with Rah...

LS, teh wisest of teh BudWEIser frogs

This is a great idea indeed.


This way if someone per chance wants to know if something is out of line, they will know.

I remember once it was discussed whether it would be abused by Martyrs who may want infamy, but then a stiffer penalty and maybe a badge on shame as in CONVICT next to the users name, but that might be too hard to code, unless of course Asher could do some community service as down payment on future transgressions

Anyhoo

LS, may you be given recognition for your efforts oh great Spam-ah-Lam-ah-Ding-Dong



And such efforts be rewarded with

:frog smiley:

:vomit smiley:

:FREE ANY CHOICE SMILEY:

Peace

Here's a stupid question -- what kind of living room has staff?

[rah]

Only the best.

[Alinestra Covelia]

Those old Victorian households with servants lined up in the living room, maybe?

I dunno if those even exist anymore.

Yes and I kept it clean, well, at least polished the bedknobs and cleaned the broomsticks off


Thanks again rah for any/all/partial perks given this way (Not to me, I dun deserve them), but others do

Your a news editor arent you?, simply put a little news article out and then they would have to back it

Or just give out monthlong bans for it

Well, you could still rename this thread and retro-actively ban everyone who posted in it.

They should do totally that. Let a hundred flowers bloom and all that.

Never heard of the Hundred Flowers Movement before. Machiavellian paranoia run wild...

BTW, love the new avatar, Ali.

[MOBIUS]

So, should this now be renamed the 'Self-congratulatory Love-in Thread'...

Good to have you back, Asher!

Thanks, I'll make sure to let my long-suffering friend HMB know. He took the picture and was very proud of it.
