Technically, banned members are supposed to stay banned... that's why they're banned members..

Do banned members haver a higher chance to get unbanned if they didn't insult anybody or didn't spammed but too often posted threads in wrong sections or opened threads that topic has already discussed in other/pinned threads?

Banned members have equal chance of being unbanned. If they approach the admin team some time after their ban and reflect on what they did wrong and are willing to change, we try to see if they are being genuine or just pretending. From time to time (once every three or four years), there is amnesty for all banned members. We just had one last year and most of the banned members were unbanned without question.

Aside from that being said, I do not think anyone has a real chance of getting banned for offenses as he described ( starting threads in wrong sections? derp.gif )

Lots of smaller offenses add up. If you've been warned three times you're banned... so it's possible. Not too likely, since most of the time, the moderation team will tend to give a little bit more leeway at 66% because it'd be silly to issue the final warning (essentially a ban) to someone for posting in the wrong thread.

True, but I felt I should expand by saying that it's not impossible to be banned for small things. It may take many of them, but it is possible to be banned for stuff like starting threads in the wrong sections. What happens if someone keeps doing this without changing their posting behavior? Would we just let them keep posting in the wrong place? If we didn't think people should be banned over that type of thing, we wouldn't make it a warnable offense. wink2.gif

I would hope that the mod team would have the decency to keep the activity and just move the threads for a while, considering the lack of activity around these parts, instead of blindly issuing warnings as it pertains to in the Guidelines. awesome.gif

According to the Guidelines, it would be 4 warns before starting threads in the wrong section would get you banned:

QUOTE
Please take the time to read the forums description before you start a topic. Starting new topic(s) in the wrong section may result in a verbal / actual warning.


1 verbal followed by 3 actual, resulting in a ban.

Instead of a mod going " Hey dude, this thread is in the wrong section, but don't worry I moved it for you".

( This hypothetical situation does not of course count for the act of someone doing that for the sake of doing it. I.e., someone going to actually make a thread that says "this thread is in the wrong section, s**ck it.", said person should be issued an actual warn as the first measure )

Now that there is a TV broadcast, why does not exist a sub forum for it, like for the radio broadcast?

Don't blame yourself, we never used the video server much outside the occasional Eronight broadcast by Don, but he hasn't done one of those in over a year now.

I think something's up with the Online List's "flag" feature that shows where in the world each member is logged in from. I just saw it list Fuji_Tak (who I believe is from Japan) as from France, and Sanae (who we know is from Italy) as from Germany.

Doesn't sound like a tall order to me. Driving stick is easy, and FD's can be had for under 20K. smile.gif

It's a tall enough order when my dad promised to teach me stick shift 'in the summer' months ago. It's nearly the end of summer now and I have yet to get behind the wheel of a manual car. FD? Maybe in my dreams, 20k is too much to ask from a college student. But I can make this happen if I set my mind to it right? smile.gif

The way inflation has gone, 20 thousand US dollars isn't worth nearly what it was a couple years ago. Go get an FD.

Because the torrent section is rarely moderated, so we never noticed. tongue.gif

I'll rectify that right away.
