Banned Message?

**Joy** · 03-08-2007, 10:09 PM

I'm interested to know what banned message you use at your forums please?

Do you simply have 'You're banned' or something else?

**BamaStangGuy** · 03-08-2007, 10:11 PM

Whatever vBulletin's stock one is in 3.6.x. Sometimes I get creative with the reason for banning.

**Jolteon** · 03-08-2007, 10:17 PM

It depends.

Usually its nothing more than

You are banned from this forum

REASON (I.E Spamming)

End of Ban date:

A couple of my recent ban reasons:
Even after being warned, you have advertised your website without permission. If you would like to purchase advertising please e-mail w#######.org. We may notify your ISP and your internet connection could be removed.

You have been banned for advertising stolen/counterfeit products on this forum. We will also also notify your ISP's abuse department and the police. Contact us on web#########ms.org.

And yes, I do contact their ISP. One user who was promoting a ClickBank link. After contacting CB about this, he has one chance left with CB before they terminate his account.

I never thought about this. I just use the default message with a small reason, usually Spammer or whatever the offense is.

**Christophaa** · 03-08-2007, 11:15 PM

I usually use the default message, with a few custom sentences (explaining the reason for the ban, how long, etc).

I've never edited the ban message... I don't feel a banned user is worth my time to give them a custom message.

**dojo** · 03-16-2007, 01:42 PM

Most of the time I am dealing with "normal" spammers. Who cannot post anyway (God I love that hack that doesn't let them post images and links until they reach a certain postcount - 5 in my forum). But still they would if they could. I just delete them and ban the entire email domain.

I did have some "review spammers" (people who instead giving a review just link to their portfolio). I ban them, censor the link entirely and then add a nice message that they were banned for spamming and anyway .. the link won't ever be posted on Wtricks since it's censored.

It just ticks me off. I have made hundreds of reviews in 3 years already, but never spammed the thing. ufff

**Inescia** · 03-16-2007, 04:12 PM

I send them a detailed message. I never get any spammers. What I get is trouble makers. I let them know in detail what I think of them (I can be as nasty as them). I also post up in my Staff Lounge in a sticky "View Banned Members Here" and have another one "Post all banned members here". Unfortunately we need to keep track of them. They keep coming back.

Sometimes I feel I am being ruff with them. When I had busy forums I used to something like this:

"You have continued to spam around the forums and posting pointless posts, now get the heck of my forum and plunge spam into another forum".
