Suspended, Banned, Permabanned.

EPIC THREAD BUMP!!!

So thought i would Google my question 1st, to try and find the answer, and found this....

But what i want to know is how does a Permaban work? is it just a banned account, and they can go straight back out and create a new one? is there more to the ban options?

We don't use the 'banned' status any more, haven't done for years.

We have suspended or permabanned, they both have the same avatar. Suspended accounts are suspended for a set period and will become unsuspended automatically. Permabans are (as the name suggests) permanent.

Permabanned members often create new accounts, we then find them. There's always a tell, a giveaway, a link.

Or inconsistently when some posters are perma'd because they offended a mods favourite. Which leaves you with a 31 page britboy thread. Who incidentally is only suspended.

Look who offended a mod...

Don't mention his name, you do realise he can get a mac 10 in 10 minutes right?! :eek:

I think that was asim18, was a long time ago!

mrk · 13 Sep 2023 at 09:58

It was 3 minutes not 10

skyripper · 13 Sep 2023 at 10:42

He's older now, probably takes him longer like everything else...

i thought a ban was the loss of your account, but a permaban was a complete ip ban so you cant make another one

I don't think you're supposed to make another one anyway. (I use a VPN for my other two accounts so the mods can't find them

).

Edit - doh, FFS, that post was from over a decade ago!

Legend has it if you mention his name five times in front of a mirror, he will appear armed with a Mac-10 and shoot you in the chest!

I dare you, I double dare you to try it!

I understand the point of being suspended and permabanned.

But what is the point of just banned.

Surely it's the same thing as suspended.

This came to my attention when I saw how many well known personalties on this forum have been recently been suspended in the past few days.

What's going on?

Sorry who are you?

Deleted member 77746 · 13 Sep 2023 at 18:00

Anyone know why @dowie is permabanned? was it the multiple accounts over vpn?

Monkeynut · 13 Sep 2023 at 18:10

Wasn't there a user actually called PermaBanned?
