I believe site owners can't be banned since they can just access the ACP & unban their IP address.Anyone below Jordan has the potential to be banned (e.g. sharing of login details). Obviously if Jordan is somehow banned, it's either as a result of a rogue mod, or, the forum ceases - it's his forum afterall.
Oh details! Unless it is some CIA file **** going on with it.At least one Moderator has been banned before.
My school sucked so I'm not the brightest.
Edit: Ohhhh I hate you both so much.
Yea Jon was a super moderator that got banned.At least one Moderator has been banned before.
Hmmm I wondered what happened to those guys, now I know. I bet you $10 they were IP banned.
Especially the hypocritical ones. I had one guy tell me to read the AUP once, when yet he himself doesn't read it too well ether. He made it glaringly obvious to me when he kept putting capitals in all the wrong places. People like that just annoy me.What do you mods think of wannabe mods-- in other words non-moderators that try to moderate. Do you guys see them as helping the community or annoyances that should be put in their place? I'm curious as to what your answer will be since I've seen this wannabeing before and IMO its quite annoying.
Oh yea, seems like I remember plundering through an old thread recently and I believe Josh mentioned how he was banned. I am going to look through it again.M3 was banned for mass-deletion of posts from those in which he disagreed with (even though they'd followed the rules and made responsible arguments), from what I've read.
It depends on the context.What do you mods think of wannabe mods-- in other words non-moderators that try to moderate. Do you guys see them as helping the community or annoyances that should be put in their place?

I have a question. When a staff member leaves etc and because "Staff Emeritus", I know they lose their mod rights but do they still have access to the (I'm not sure how GTP works but generally this is how it works) sub forum dedicated to the staff to voice their opinions on site matters?
Yes.
Lets say Jordan leaves for a bit, and a thread contains masses of stuff which you need to delete (let's say, scripting that freezes computers when the thread is clicked on so you can't edit the post) what is done about it? Do you tell everyone?
If they are set to have an expiring ban, then yes. A permanent ban is exactly that, you either understand the rules, work with the rules, or if you cannot play within the rules of the site, we're not going to give another chance to the same account (un-banning is a nuisance, anyhow). Even then, banning is something all the staff are aware of, and we discuss the seriousness of it together, except for obvious spammers/spambots.Also, if you ban a member permanently, is it possible that he/she can be unbanned?
...On a related question, why is rainbow dash banned??????...
No. Private messages are just that - private.
We'll only be able to read any number of messages in the event they're reported. Jordan, on the other hand has magic we do not if something so drastic is absolutely necessary.
