The banned can't read pm's

Currently, people banned on this forum can not know why they were banned because they can't see their own inbox, and therefore cannot dispute the charges.
Actually, people who got banned can't do anything at all! Not even go on the home page!
Don't you think it's a little unfair for someone not be able to know how what thread when or why they got banned, let alone not be able to do a thing about it?

From my understanding this is a glitch within the forums. I'm just trying to bring attention to this flaw.

 

How do you know what it's like to be banned? And why is this your first post?

 

Because my first two posts were marked as "spam" and I couldn't explain my situation.

 

Every single moderator on this forum is greatly trusted, if you were banned there's a damn good reason for it.
And usually they won't ban unless you've done something bad and obviously intended to do so, or, you're being to much of a "bad person" to talk to about something you've unknowingly done (Like; flaming them the first second they talk to you, or trolling about).

So, I think it's completely fair; we dont want people who intend to do bad things to be on this forum.
Of course we want new people, but not ones that are going to abuse you when you tell them how they're meant to do something.

 

I see your point, but moderators are human too. If he really wasn't in the wrong why not give him atleast the opportunity to read what he did wrong and reflect on it. I'm torn apart on what to think, on one hand we have someone who wants to know why he got banned, on the other we don't want him accessing/using the forums.

 

A moderator would not ban someone without 100% certainty it's the sorrect thing to do, especially in this community (By far the best I've been apart of).
If they were not 100% sure, I know they would allow him to speak (Even most of the time when they are 100% sure they still allow the person to speak).
If he was banned from the forums without being allowed to speak, he should know what he's done.

Don't think I'm accusing you, Bobbly, I'm just saying what I beileve is true. :)

I think there should maybe be a ban appeal section in the "Help!" forum, and people who are banned can only post there, no where else.

 

How would someone get there if they can't even acses the home page?

 

I am suggesting that they can access the home page then :)

 

Twas also banned from IRC.

 

Also various other trolling/timewasting, linking to spinning genitals, etc.

 

I think this thread here is all about ethics and morals.. And yes they banned you for a good reason they are kind and won't ban you if you are not a toolbag ;)
