Self-Imposed Bans

From now on, we will no longer be issuing bans on request. i.e. self bans

There are a number of reasons for this decision, which include possible avenues of abuse (forgetting to logout), and the confusion it causes to people not in the loop about an unexpected ban.

Instead, we recommend, if you no longer wish to use your account, to set a random password, then logout and delete the forums from your bookmarks.

Do you still have access to the password, or set a new one, in case a member wants to come back later on?

If you try and log in with an incorrect password, it brings you to a window with a link to recover it.

This... is a good idea.

Thank you. These bans were beginning to get annoying.

Deleting KMC from my bookmarks would do nothing, the address is permanently burned into my retinas from being on here so much.
