Hi all,
Admin have gave us Moderators / AE the power to ban members, just a quick reminder that we should do so carefully. This means that we should double check the member we are about to ban is guilty, before adding him/ her to the list.
Not saying anyone is doing anything wrong here, just a quick reminder to prevent unhappy faces ;)

Re: Banning carefully
How do you ban members?
For example this member: shocredor
Guilty of spamming in Russian and posting a link to a pornographic website on his profile.
I don't think I have the power to ban anyone, unless I am overlooking the option.

Re: Banning carefully
The "banning" option is under the "Moderator Control Pannel" however it may be the case that admin has not given everyone the power to ban.

Re: Banning carefully
I will ask adm if I can have the power to ban also. Today was not a good day spam wise. And deleting 30+ posts of spam while I could have just banned the member when it was happening would have made it a lot easier.

Yes guilder1st, it is very annoying when you kee deleting spams whilst the spammer keeps posting new ones :neutral:guilder1st wrote:I will ask adm if I can have the power to ban also.

Anyways, you are one of the very hard-working members on the fanmail.biz in terms of banning spammers, ask admin and there should be no reason that you cannot have the power to ban {thumb2}

Re: Banning carefully
I also dont have the power to ban. With a these spammers posts ive been deleting, it would be much easier just to ban them rather that wasting so much time deleting their posts, for them to post more!!

Re: Banning carefully
The thing with banning a user is that it does not automatically delete their posts - so you would still have to 'clean up their mess' after banning. It would be nice to see more mods who are able to ban, but right now I think it's pretty futile because admin just undoes all our hard work anywayguilder1st wrote:I will ask adm if I can have the power to ban also.

AUTHENTIC, OR NOTHING AT ALL.

Hi guilder1st
If someone spam your forum please PM me, i will delete his account.

Honestly I will no longer be putting in time to keep the board clean. (like yesterday taking more than 30 minutes out of my day). I am an AE not a mod. I was just trying to help out, but at this point it seems futile.
@ Shambler Yes you still need to delete the messages, but like yesterday I was deleting them as he was posting them. If I could have banned him right away I wouldn't have had to delete 25+ messages.
