Questions and innuendos about Moderators

[Slash]

Has a member ever received more than 30 points before being subsequently banned? Also, I am aware that 30 points is the maximum amount you can receive before being banned, but can you actually give someone an infinite amount of points, or does it actually top off at 30 points?

Having seen this first hand, points can total over, then you get banned. My week off I had 39 points.

Oh crap!

 

[TB]

Some have received infractions requiring commas, but it serves no purpose whatsoever once it passes 30.

 

[Famine]

I've just had a quick search...

There are 200 users with 40 or more infraction points - which can easily come about from having 10pt floating on your profile and then getting a full-fat 30 pointer.
118 have 50 or more (similar reasons)
92 have 59 points or more (again, 29pt last chance status then a maxxer)

There is a maximum value and 5 users have it. Though three of those are the same user.

 

[dhandeh]

I take it out of those 200 users with 40 or more points, not many are still active!

 

[Famine]

Yeah, those are present points (rather than cumulative including expired ones) which means that, unless they've been manually unbanned, they're not here.

 

[dhandeh]

It's a good job, the average Joe can't view somebody else's points. The fools would be having a league table going.

 

[BobK]

expired ones

I thought points never expired? I seem to recall seeing a post a while back from a mod/admin/Jordan to the effect that once you were issued an infraction the points that came with it never went away. So if you got a ten point infraction, you'd still have those ten points a decade later even if you'd done nothing else wrong.

 

[daan]

We can give out both permanent and temporary points.

Permanent ones never go away, obviously. Temp ones will go away after the period (that we can decide) has expired, but it is always on record that they were given.

 

[Famine]

That. The commonest expired infraction points are given to temporary bans. Points expire, ban expires

It's a good job, the average Joe can't view somebody else's points. The fools would be having a league table going.

And it's for that reason...

 

[Diego440]

Still, having a deal-breaker 25 points isn't that serious, as long as you can behave yourself. I had a 25-point never-expire infraction and have been at that point for almost 6 years, granted I now post a lot less and rarely get into stupid internet arguments.

Unless it's about cows getting shot or noobs spilling cider or my insanely good memory for remembering odd moments.

 

[R5]

So I shouldn't spill my Cider then?

 

[Dan]

Yeah, ya noob.

To all moderators, are you all proud to be a mod? Does it boost your ego?

I try to leave my ego at the door....

 

[Ranman20]

I heard some mods don't have any egos. °_°

 

[daan]

noobs spilling cider

Look, I did that once. Once!

Unless it's about cows getting shot

Look, I did that once. Once!

Or maybe twice...

I'm married. Ego, hopes, dreams, dignity - all gone.

Which is why I'm avoiding that entirely

But you get to brainwash your kids for a few years. In return, they drive you batty.

What? Getting married or becoming a mod?

You'll notice, he did not specify who's door. {j/k}

Got an extra oar buddy ? I'm boating right there along with you.

Shhhhhhh, he thought the terrible 2's were bad .... wait until the terrible teens hit.

A question about banning. Obviously you keep track of who bans who and for whatever reason it may be. But, which Moderator is leading the pack with the ban-hammer ?

Or do we even want to know ?

I was reffering to getting married

 

[MiuraSV777]

Are there 'secret' mods, ones that look like normal members, but are actually mods?

Also, turbo or supercharger?(generally)

 

[Slash]

^^That I highly doubt.

 

[MiuraSV777]

^^That I highly doubt.

I'll also doubt that they will answer with a yes if there does happen to be any, but i was just curious is all.

That would be interesting.

Jordan and Famine might have more options at their disposal but I'm not aware of any way to easily tally how many people each of us have banned.

I can say without a doubt that is isn't me, though.

Or do we even want to know ?

Short of satisfying curiosity, I can't think of any other reason we'd need to know.

My wife is. See:

Not if I BAN you first.

There may or may not be others.

Supercharger. Hands down.
