Can We Stop This Madness?

Post by dos mes »

I could have sworn in those short short rules up top of this forum it says not to post here if you were banned from the Files Forums, and yet almost everyday there is another person posting here saying they are banned from the Files Forums, can someone please try to make this rule more strict, because it's always the same thing. "I waz banneded from teh filez forumz and i don't know whyz, all i did was cheat?!?!" and yet these topics turn into full out conversations among the community including moderators when they should be enforcing the rule that you can't post this stuff here.

If you are banned, you're supposed to pm a mod or admin or w/e, not make another topic. You don't get banned for no reason, so stop and take a minute to think about what you have done instead of asking the people here that don't even know you why you were banned, it's that simple...

maybe when you try to enter what ever you were banned from it could say "you have been banned from this forum...contact a jr. admin or admin if you feel you have been wrongfully banned."

Its not just people going to this forum complaining about bans but people that have been banned and want to come back.

Face it, beginners screw up because they don't know better. Most of them are 10-14 year olds (or younger). I'm not saying give them a break, all I'm saying is that you have to understand the cause before you can find a solution to the effect.

I'm 14 but I'm not banned yet :shock:, and there's no excuse for screwing up when there are rules posted in every forum of the site...

Some forums allow you to use BB code in topic titles. I think if there was some way to make it so only moderators or administrators could use BB code in thread titles, we could make the rules topics bolded and a different color. That would make more people read the rules.

Not counting sig rules, I doubt I've ever looked at the rules.

I apologize, I should have read the rules first.

I guess it's not as much your fault as it once would have been, seeing as how there's many topics like it you probably just thought it was the right place to post, oh well...

maybe a word censor for the phrase "i was banned" to change it to "im a retard and i dont read the rules."
that way we could all have our laugh and still know what they're talking about.

Dude, I made a mistake. This along with the other post is just being a dick. Really, I realized I made a mistake. You don't have to be an asshole for it.
