i find it hard trusting a person who is wrong 99.9% of the time... but i'm inclined to agree with you here 😛
i bet you know were some killer wild mushrooms are growing.
Listen to someone like myself that is correct 99.9% of the time!
I get my mushrooms fresh from a grocery store, and don't insinuate differently.
Originally posted by SwissGambityeah, SG has the right idea. I'm not seeking any more leniency in the GF, but rather a distinction between public and private forums.
We're at an impasse. As I see it, OP's idea has nothing to do with leniency, but rather keeping the moderation of public and private forums separate. The public mods should not have any control over the private forums. That should belong exclusively to the owner of the private forum.
Originally posted by Big Orange CountryActually you are looking for leniency by wanting to being allowed to post in the Private Forums when under a Public Forums ban.
yeah, SG has the right idea. I'm not seeking any more leniency in the GF, but rather a distinction between public and private forums.
The Public Forums bans would then just become a joke!

why
I myself would lobby for a removal of PM rights when a forum ban is issued and limit a user to chess and feedback only.
It's not that easy to be issued a ban here at RHP, why make the punishment even weaker for posters who are unable to first listen to warnings and next lose their privilege to post? Anyone getting a ban knows they did something wrong, regardless if they are willing to admit it or not.

The purpose of a public forum ban is to:
1. prevent the user from messing up public forum;
2. make the user totally miserable so that he never messes up a public forum again;
3. give the surviving users something to gossip about, a bit like the highschool girl with the big tummy;
4. give the user's fellow clubmembers an excuse to whinge in their private forums about the fact that public forum moderators have the power to invade their space.
Anyone think of any others?

Originally posted by SwissGambithe means people will tend to be more slack with their public forum postings. if they get a ban... who cares, private forums are much better anyway. the largest ban i've received is a month... did i miss posting in the public forums? no. but i did miss posting in the pirates forums... if i was able to post in private while being banned in public i wouldn't care if i received a long ban... and i don't need to spell out what happens when people don't care about the consequences.

Originally posted by trev33Shrug. Sounds like RHP got a nuisance poster out of the public forums for a whole month, yet kept him as a paying customer. I see no downside.

If you kept pushing their buttons, they could just give you an indefinite ban in the public forums, and let you keep posting in the private ones. Problem solved.
