How long are users banned once they're banned?
Is it an "all-or-nothing" board- they're either in good standing or perma-banned, or is it where it's 1 day, then 2, then so on?

It depends on the offense. Judging by your first post being this, I'll assume your other account got banned. Am I correct?

Nope, this is my first time using this forum. Ever.
I just read the rules before signing up and it said do some of these various things and you'll get banned. But they didn't say for how long so that's why I had to ask. PS: Out of the total # of accounts registered on Ebaumsworld Forums, how many % of them (or how many of them, if % is unknown) are or have ever been banned?

If you want to see how many people are banned, go the the banned list, its in the Everything/Nothing section. It's a stickey, so it's near the top.

Ok, saw it.
Btw, what if people only log on here through public computers? As you see, someone could use a university library (that has hundreds of PCs), and if they get banned, they could just move to the next PC, make a new account, and pick up where they left off. I'm sure the forum bans by PC, so what does Ebaumsworld do about those who are in a position to use many PCs? |

Well Dusty, how do they know if it's the same person or not? Chances are, that user will try to look like a different person as differently as possible.
Btw, if anyone was wondering, the library at my university is HUGE. Look at the first 12 images here: http://images.google.com/images?q=hale+library&hl=en There is a huge multitude of PCs here. Banning them each time a banned user uses them may take years. That is, if the user somehow shows that he's the same person each time, which is unlikely from what I can see. |

If the offences are numerous from one area, the mods can track down the I.P. addy to the library, contact the school, and have the forums listed as a restricted site. so no one can access them.

 As far as I've seen, the ban-limit is as low as 24hours to Perm ban... the infrations include anything from Double posting, Forum invasions, posting porn, Flame wars, one word posts, kicking up dead topics to add something totaly irelavent and even just pissing a mod off... you'll get diffrent sentances depending on the mod and how they are feeling that day... some might call that unfair, but it's ben working for us since it started. Our Mod's are the fairest but also the harshest around, dont do anything stupid or piss them off and you'll be fine. |
