    Very simple. Bang out a bit of misogyny, some comments about nomadism and call Micky D a few choice names, and whoosh! -Sorted. Works here anyway. Regions is trickier - they're very tolerant.

    No, we don't facilitate this any more as it was getting ridiculous around exam time. You'll just have to exercise some self control I'm afraid.

    Yep worked for me, just call someone a ****ing idiot, instant 3 day ban! In the interests of fairness though please make sure it's a deserving recipient. You know - an actual idiot - there's an abundancy of them in AH so pick your weapon and your victim, aim and fire.

    just change your password to something that you can't remember and then click the "forgotten password" button when you want to come back!

    Mods have better things to be doing than banning and unbanning people "on demand" to suit their exam schedules. Requests for such bans became increasingly common so we stopped doing it.

    You should give people to ability to ban themselves via a form or something. Make sure there's a maximum time like maybe three months and a big red warning that self-bans are irreversible and if you're stupid enough to ban yourself then tough.

    Although I don't understand why people can just practice a bit of self discipline. I know Boards is the be all and end all of the internet but... Nah, what am I saying.

    If you're going to do this at least do it properly.
    I recommend you head to the ladies lounge or personal issues forum.

    This is a good idea. Most Internet gambling sites have something similar

    I'm afraid the software that Boards runs on isn't sufficiently technologically advanced to allow for something like that.
