Sargent_Blockson Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 How many people have you guys banned since the start of it and how many years have you been running it. It's basically something that I can use to keep my maths up to scratch. (it's been 6 years since I last attended a maths class when I was 16 and about to get a B GCSE score.) I've got a job interview on Wednesday and don't want to appear to be a complete idiot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimpleGuy Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Oh god time for me to pull dates and info... The forums launched back on January 18th, and I joined a couple days after on January 20th. KakerMix/CheapShot deemed me worthy to be a moderator on February 10th. For a long time it was just us three banning people left and right to get the community into the shape envisioned. Unfortunately, the stats before the forum switch are lost to me. However I can say that since June 3rd when the forums have switched there have been 24 pages worth of reports where each page has between 25 and 30 reports. Not all of these resulted in a ban and a lot of people were banned outside of reports for spam and other on-the-spot-sighted-dick-baggedness. Furthermore, things now are a lot more lenient than at the beginning of this year. I'd permaban many people daily back in February and March because the community was still raw and needed to be fleshed out. And back then people were more aggressive, making multiple accounts and trying to spam the forums with racial slurs and other lame things, and those were banned as well. Good luck figuring it out!

Lol! So lets say collectively you've banned the equivalent population of a village in less than 12 months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheap Shot Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 589 to date. Every single one deserved it 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merchant of Menace Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 589 out of a few tens of thousands of users is pretty damn good. Especially once you discount spambots from the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorcer Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 589 to date. Every single one deserved it 100%. Is this only perma bans? Either way that is actually a lot lower than I would have expected... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay? Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 What was the funniest/ worst user that you had to ban? There are many epic tales, but for a nice selection, go into the whaleox and read the tale of LaBigcheese, and the story of one bad ASS cat.

The Merchant of Menace Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Read them all, most are worth it. I think I banned 3 or 4 of the cheeses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent_Blockson Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 Read them all, most are worth it. I think I banned 3 or 4 of the cheeses. I can't find them. They're not in the whale box. That Billy Mays wannabe was funny though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprolo Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Whenever I'm sad, I go to the whalebox. Then I spend about an hour trying to retrieve my arse from the huge crater in the moon after I laugh it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Legendary Soviet Ban Escaper, he was called. He was made of the cheese stuff That makes the great whalebox threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
