Automatic banning of "good" members

[Yvonne G]

Our Akismet spam detecting system has been going full force these past few days. If you are banned, just be patient and Josh will un-ban you as soon as he sees it.

Our most recent ban - ee is Shelly (John). He has all of his messaging things de-activated (email and PM) so I couldn't let him know that we are aware of it. I've sent a PM to Josh, but he's not online right now. So be patient, John. He'll get to you eventually!

Yvonne, you wouldn't need to put the word good in quotation marks, most of the time. How about chikat. Is she back from the banned?

 

[Yvonne G]

Nope, she's still banned. Josh must have gone away for the week-end. I'm going to ask him to "bestow" the unbanning capability upon a moderator so we can take care of it in his absence.

 

[Edna]

Maybe she can tell us about her experiences as a banned person. She could call it "Voyage of the Banned."

 

[Yvonne G]

I'll bet its frustrating. I'm pretty much addicted to getting on the computer and reading the forum posts. It must be hell for her to have to actually be doing, for instance, HOUSEWORK!!

 

[dmmj]

well since you are on all the time I would hope he would let you unban people who were wrongly banned, I thought it was strange that only he could do the unbanning of wrongly banned people.

I know the moderators can un-ban a member that we ourselves have banned, as I have done it. It would certainly be easier if we could un-ban the askimet victims as well

 

[dmmj]

To be honest I don't know why josh stills uses the autoban software, we have a excellent team of mods one in particular who do a fantastic job of keeping spammers out, if it was just josh I could see him using autoban software, but he has a great team, I think he should consider getting rid of it, it seems to do more harm than good IMHO.

Shelly banned, I thought it might be because of his signature video! lol.

 

[dmmj]

shelly is a him, and I think they would tell him before they banned him

 

[ChiKat]

Aw, I'm considered a good member? *tear*

Maybe she can tell us about her experiences as a banned person. She could call it "Voyage of the Banned."

I could still read everything, I just couldn't post since obviously I was unable to login!

Yvonne, I am addicted to my computer/this forum also. I can assure you, there was no housework that got done
