Earlier on I did propose a system involving appeals after timeframes and stuff that we are talking about, I think it'll work well.(N.B. don't critique this message as OMG BAD IDEA because you don't know the whole proposal and you'll look dumb)
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**
The only problem I have with this is, it ensures any and all members that, whatever they do, they'll have a chance at an appeal. Surely, that diminishes the point of permanently banning them in the first place, as they are complacent in knowing that they can come back. How would appeals work? Would they be allowed to appeal after making another account? If so, will they be allowed to post in the time period of appeal?I just think the way we look at perma-banning should change. It shouldn't be something you can recover from. I believe appeals or negotiations would work better if they simply reduced the amount of time they were banned for. For example, you could give someone a year long ban and, given they do not harass anyone outside of the forum or create multi-accounts, they'd be allowed to negotiate a new amount of time they should be banned for, after a while. Appealing a permanent ban seems like a weird concept to me because the appellant hasn't been on the forum for us to witness change, so why would our attitude change towards them other than "everyone deserves a second chance"?

Also Craaig, he did post from a reasonable and well-meaning perspective based upon what you revealed. No need to insinuate that he's dumb.

No need to insinuate that he's dumb.What I meant by what I originally said was criticizing what I revealed is an exercise in pointlessness because it's clearly intentionally not the full story. No point asking questions etc when I'm clearly not telling the entire plan anyway because they're all already answered.
No I can use it and I don't need to share because it's not something that needs to be shared until all the mods agree on it.I'm genuinely trying to make a solution for EVERYONE here and improve future situations that may arise meanwhile you lot are making it absolutely BLOOPing infuriating and I'm sick of trying so I'm done.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

That's fine, but it doesn't mean it shouldn't be critiqued in a mature way, which is what we are doing;

As for I, I am willing to give him a chance. If he blows it up, however, I'll be the first to get him out of those forums.
