re: Are bannings actually based on traffic generation?

He gone until his alter comes back 
or did he remove his stuff to make it look like he was banned?

You know there are valid points made in this thread
quote:RA is like 20% people who don't like another poster and probably 80% because of an actual reason. A lot of gray area as well since something I don't find offensive someone else could and I am sure admins have a log of who RA's who and what not.
Why do you favor rustled pussies who constantly RA because they are unoriginal hacks versus people who actually drive traffic with original and entertaining discussion?

I have noticed lately that instead of sending me PM's I just get my posts deleted now.

He's still got the online dot. Does that still work when you're banned?

Its most likely mob mentality for the most part. You can usually tell when a ban is incoming... like when the cluckster appears in a thread asking you to tattle on yourself.

Yes it will still show if you are online

Bannings can be random depending which admin is doing it....
Admins are assigned certain boards to monitor, if another admin has who is not assigned the board comes and bans you can expect a longer ban.
If you are getting banned by JGG, Circus Child, or TonyDingo expect a longer ban...
Admins make marks in ban history, sometimes an admin who is used to a certain poster will release the poster sooner than a poster who did the same thing who they do not know. Also creating an alter can lengthen a suspension.
Sometimes e-mailing and pleading your case can help on your end and reduce a suspension and if you've met an admin or had friendly conversation across the site then you can have more room to post stuff that would get others banned.
Sometimes admins just don't catch everything or they let things slide, that I would assume is just personal on their mood.
Also I believe the SEC boards (not team boards) have SEC junior type admins now as well. Those who can monitor the constant bashing because I think most RA's come from here and the Poli Board.
AN RA can mean nothing or something, sometimes I think admins receive so many RA's they overlook several and if they have a lot on the same thing they just go ahead and ban the individual and then go back and read the thread. If it is bad they stay banned if it isn't they release them.
I don't think it is about traffic because posters in the past who always generate traffic have been banned, some for good. The board gets enough traffic that a handful of posters do not really mean much. Maybe when the board was first starting and they were trying to drive traffic but not now.
Finally, sometimes people like Killz, Owlie, etc get banned because people just get tired of their schtick. It grows old after awhile an people just get tired of it. That is why none get a long ban and what they do really isn't a bannable offense, people (admins) are just tired of the antics.

When you're banned you can still login and logout. You just cannot post. If you remain logged in you will remain "online".

Well damn. What a weird way to get banned. He basically challenged Chicken to do it.

For instance, it is relatively easier to get banned on the poli board.
Apparently not easy enough. More people should be banned.

As another example, posting in the wrong GOT thread will get you banned on the Movie/TV board.
Damn that's crazy.

Not the first time Chicken has been challenged. At least he didn't threaten to sue Chicken like others have done.
Posted on 7/21/15 at 11:04 am to tduecen
I saw he posted an hour ago, but his pic of Saban reading the SECrant is gone. If your avatar pic is gone does that mean he's banned?

Sometimes but not always... usually a good indicator

People have challenged Chicken several times in the past, one guy who claimed he was an attorney threatened to take Chicken to court. was going to sue Tigerdroppings and own it according to him... plus posters have challenged admins to fights in the past.

Probably the sign of not being a great attorney

The truest hallmark of the average IQ of most of the site.
