    I don't think the person that posted the reason ban in sig was advocating writing a 100,000+ word essay on what the person did to get ban. Perhaps he meant something like:

    "Dupe account is Dupe"
    "I got ban for being a cunt"
    "I got ban for being drunk, I'll be back in 3 days"

    Stuff along those lines.

    *edit*
    Vash has lay down the law.

    *edit 2*
    Ok, I can agree to that, pretty standard on most every forum.

    Curious, why would it tell me after I log in, why someone was ban?

    Unless you are the person banned, it wouldnt. If you get banned though, itll tell you why. Curious enough to find out personally? ;)

    Hell no, never that curious.

    With the way it was worded and the way my brain processed it, I thought you where saying that I would see why someone else was ban.

    My brain is fried from the past week of exams, taking it a while to think things through.
    :(

    LOL! I forgot I made a thread just like this earlier, sorry... Blame my friend Al, last name Zheimer :D

    Jamven, wish you really were a mod cos you could definitely make it happen. I can't believe I've only been asleep a few hours and already 2 pages of discussion!

    Thanks for the vote of confidence. Like I said, it is a feature that I would like to see done, one that I am willing to spend a time doing, but perhaps it is not best for the site as a whole. Who knows what may happen in the future...

    If I got a loli every time someone said that on the internets, Vash would've died of jealousy.

    You fail.

    You have 12 posts, 7-8 when you started this thread, how the hell could you possibly forget a thread that you made? I think your real friend is Rita Rded.

    Sure, till a mod decides to be a smart ass and promotes him to mod just before banning him for negligence :p

    Mini-coup?

    Coup-A sudden appropriation of leadership or power
    Appropriation - a deliberate act of acquisition of something, often without the permission of the owner.

    I fail to see a mini-coup going on... For me to reach any type of power of this board, would probably require at least a vote of all existing members of the Admin and Mod teams.

    Exactly what part of my quoted post seemed coupish?

    I would like to think that I haven't done anything to warrant that.

    All I have done is offer my service and time to something that I feel worthwhile. Hell, I believe that I even said something about limited powers a person had if they took on the project and where not an existing mod. Kind of like the powers Gio has over S&P (as far as I know, thats the only place he got powers).

    *edit*
    The only problem that people seem to have the OP idea is that it would take up too much of the Mod teams time. I have offered my time to help get it done. If offering my time in good faith is enough to get be labeled a couper and a ban from the site, perhaps I need to stick to lurking...

    Vash, Jamven was talking about labeling stories Completed/WIP/Abandoned, not the reason for bannings.

    @Jamven:LOL, s'not happening, let it go.

    On topic: what would be awesome is if there was a way to add a real-time aspect to the forum. I'm not computer savvy enough to know how that would be done.

    Meh... I remember that one there too.

    Either way; If you want to know, go look. Take a few fucking seconds to find out.

    I know that, but if someone is going to label me a coup'er for one post that I made over a year ago I am going to respond.

    The mention post was about me helping out in my spare time, I was going for a couple of members to take a section of the Library, go through the fics listed, finding out what category they would be in, record where they go, check it twice to make sure, then give the final list to a mod to be place in the right section in the sub board.

    *edit*
    I do believe that I agreed with you, My post were giving reason's why people would like that feature added in. And yes, I agreed with it. But I realized later that there are other ways of finding out how a person got ban, ie PMing a mod, going to irc, etc...
    It would then be up to the people in charge if they wanted to share that info with you...

    While we're on the subject of suggestions, has anyone considered a hall of lulz?

    Shame is lulz, Lulz is Shame.
    Each is each, both are same.

    That was lulz. Dr Seuss non?

    Jamven: I laugh at you. Hard. Acting kind of like a arse-kissing Taure. But let's not re-earth that eh?

    I don't see the poin in seperating it into status. Like Vash said, it takes a few seconds to find out so just click the fucking link and maybe keep an eye out for updates.
