Threadbans vs forumbans

CIARAN_BOYLE · 2020-12-31 12:03:21

Not sure if this is the best place to discuss it but it seems to me as if there is a much greater prevalence of threadbans than there used to be on boards. I don't want to get into specifics but I recently saw one moderator issue a single poster with two threadbans and a warning to behave or be threadbanned in a third…

That is pretty much it. However it is possible to receive a straight forum ban without prior cards, depending on what triggers it. For example if someone goes on a rampage in a forum mods are not going to go through a process of yellow, red, then ban. Equally some of our mods can spot the re-reg trolls straight off and will often issue a permanent forum ban pending the Admins intervening and issuing a permanent siteban

Instead of faffing around with threadbans maybe it might be a better idea for Boards to trace the users IP and location and to then launch a no notice nuclear strike?

I know there would be a bit of work enriching uranium to the right level but once thats sorted there would be no more messing around on the site
