Title: Veteran Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 585 Location: HOTLANTA ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Now that it's there, I wouldn't change it. His account does not belong to him anymore. You can change it to anything you want. I have a group called Hiatus, where I move people who are inactive. Their user title just says Inactive. I save banning for people who've committed an actual offense and have to be forcibly removed. I also don't remove people who request to be removed. I tell them to stop logging in and after 60 days they'll get moved to inactive. I can't help it if you have no willpower and want my help to stop coming to my forum. *shrug* | ||||

You don't say "no, but I'll ban you" Now, you also mentioned that he's not a member that you want to have in your community...If that's the case, then he must have broken a rule, yes? If he broke a rule and was banned as a result of it, you don't have to accommodate his requests...He registered, broke the rules, and because of it he's banned for it and everybody knows about it...Tough luck

Instead of banning them you just tell them to leave if they want to. If he deserved to be banned, thats one thing, but its silly to ban someone just because they want to leave.

He was aggressive and ironic in a way that he always was just one step before breaking the rules. He never gave me a good reason to send him away, he just wanted attention but when he realized that nobody was giving a ... about him, he stopped posting for 60 days*. Anyway, this issue started when he made a post, complaining about "Welcome Headers" (60 days is set for inactivity period)* and asking things that I mentioned in my first post for that reason. My answer was that there is no way for deletions but I would be glad after all to do something else... (ban him).When he realized that his "request was accepted" he asked for User Title thing as a result of the sock from his "dangerous wishes". | |||||

You could just delete his account, and his title will change to "guest." I wouldn't delete his posts because they are contributions to your forum, unless he's just asking to have only one post/thread removed for personal reason. | ||||

| Title: Apprentice Join Date: Nov 2006 Posts: 182 ![]() | I disagree with that. I have recently asked a forum owner to delete my account because the only post I had written was considered "spam" eight months later for no reason and was erased. When I tried to understand why (I don't care about a post being erased, I care about being called a spammer!) I found out that the mod/admin responsible for the deletion had disabled his pm feature. So no way to communicate with him. And I think when you treat your members like that, you shouldn't be allowed to keep them in your quota. Yes, sometimes members deserve to be banned, but owners are not above the common rules of civility! | ||||

| Title: Groupie Join Date: Oct 2007 Posts: 39 Location: Australia ![]() | I have one member on my forum tried to delete his account over been requested to respect members. he complained I just didn't answer him, he went off and later came back trolled and banned. Suggestion ban is IP and don't reply to his emails to you. Ban the addy if you have too, they soon lose interest. | ||||
