Ok so if they dont diserve then they get banned.. Thats there way of giving them a second chance but still punishing them for what ever they did
I was referring to perm banned
Well its at the Mods gretion (however you spell it) they decide i just think we havnt had a incident like that yet
Ok but the question is why did he get his post lowered what did he do?? Exactly no matter what he did its still up to the Mods to decide not us... Another example "Rape" He was temp banned for spamming.... he could get perm baned next time you never know and zxeenon too....they just decided to ban him why i dont know but the mods did it....
all im saying is leave it up to the mods basicly we have no say about banning and posts and gold they do not us...
I don't think any of you are understanding what she is saying.
She is saying if you automatically get the rank when you reach XXX amount of posts, if the post's drop under that requirement you should automatically lose the rank until you get back up over the amount needed.
For example;
Say for "Rank 1" you need 200 posts.
Mr. Alex get's 200 posts and obtains "Rank 1"
Mr. Alex loses 4 posts for spamming post count is 196 and he is no longer "Rank 1"
4 Days later Mr. Alex makes 200 posts again and becomes "Rank 1"
She isn't saying they need to be banned this should be an automatic thing.
Concept is is you hit XXX posts and get a prize if you go under XXX posts you lose the prize (Until you reach it again.)
OOOOOO but i still say its up to the mods
well i like your idea defy i agree for once.
Tiffany; you don't have much of an argument.
If people have 500 posts, and they Get UG silver, and some Mod deletes a thread that they posted in, and they now have 499 posts, they shouldn't have silver anymore. It's only right.
But I don't see why this is such a big deal.
So you're telling me Gamechief shouldn't be Silver UG.
Now I get to lol.... hard XD.
Wanted to bring this back up for consideration/discussion.
Also seeing how Rape came back with 3xx post and has Silver Underground.
Its a great idea but cant they just ban the title Underground for x amount of days or months?
Pretty much...
Post to 50, your user group is automatically changed to UG Bronze.
Post to 500, your user group is automatically changed to UG Silver.
You get 250 posts deducted, but you're still in UG Silver...
The group only goes up, it has to manually be set to go back down.
or how about this shit, purge the underground, all of it, and force everyone to APPLY for it. if you feel that you have earned it your posts should be reviewed, like it used to be done, so if you havent earned the title, you dont get it.
my suggestion to counter this one, PUT BACK UP APPS.
Here's the problem with this:
I lost my posts as a 'punishment,' not for spam. Spamming your way into UG should result in loss of UG status. Automatically losing UG on a post count deduction eliminates post count deductions as a valid general punishment for any reason.
Also, that's not mentioning the way vBulletin is set up, it may very well not be possible (I mean, everything is possible, but it would be a pain in the ass with no modification already made for it).
