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.

Or do something that will get you a temp ban.... 😛

kidding.

Or, when they ask for a ban give them a perm ban. 😐

What about the people who have self-imposed bans active currently?

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

You can recover passwords via email.

I didnt know thathmm Can you do it by yourself or does a mod have to send it?

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

oh... and i was about to ask for a tempt ban 😖hifty:

Either Edit Profile or Edit Options, Mist. I think it's Profile.

Yup, SIB's were getting over used.

I, personally, saw them as nothing more than attention getters.

No more April Fools Jokes. w00t

This... is a good idea.

Thank you. These bans were beginning to get annoying. ermm

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