    Default Two questions about TI rules: post count and banning

    First, I noticed in one thread that Jenna mentioned that posts in some subforums dont count towards your post total but when I post anywhere my count goes up. Can someone clarify this for me.



    Second, what does being banned mean? I see posters with "Banned" banners still posting and even applying for staff jobs!

    There seems to be some issue with the post count. By design some forums such as tiddle taddle promote one word answers and the like and since it promotes spamming they aren't supposed to count towards your post count. This is not the case however as some if not most posts count. Just worry about producing quality posts at all times and you will never have to be concerned about getting warned or banned for spamming.

    Secondly, people who get in trouble around here can be permanently banned or have a temporary ban imposed by the powers that be. If you click on their avatar it takes you to their profile page which usually indicated whether the ban was permanent or temporary. Users who disobey the rules receive those infractions. While they may be banned for any length of time it does not remove any posts they have made previous to their ban. hence the various posts still around with users who have been banned.

    Hope this helps some.
    JustJenna, TankGirl, Forbidden have passed muster ;)

    The forums I know which does not increase your post count are - Tiddle Taddle > games and the Introduction forum.

    So if you have a banned banner you cannot post for some period of time?

    If you look here http://www.torrent-invites.com/staff...tion-team.html

    you can see a post today from a banned member.

    you can post and then be banned with your post still being there. The posts of a banned person are not deleted

    I understand that. My point is it seems like these people are posting WHILE banned? The example above is a post made today not some earlier date and left behind.

    You mean ScottK's post? I would assume he posted earlier today and then got banned later? The best person to ask about this would be a mod.

    I never thought of that. Ya I guess he could have been banned today. It doesn't really matter. The point of this thread is just to clarify things for me so I understand all the rules as I intend on being around for awhile.

    Well, I've used other vbulletin boards before..so for e.g. ScottK tries to access torrent-invites.

    What he will probably see is
    • Ban date: 03-14-2010 / Lift date: 03-15-2010
    • Reason: Ignoring Staff Instructions regarding intros
    • Banned by JustJenna
    Banned users have no access to other functions except the message, I suppose.

    It makes sense now. I just wasn't thinking of a situation where a person was banned today and posted today.

    Thanks for all the help. I'll get this place figured out eventually :D
