Well, I have noticed that banned users can pm people, which is pretty annoying, due to a certain banned someone not being very nice to me in a pm. Also, when your banned, you shouldn't be able to anything really. It should be pretty much game over.

I would actually agree with this. Sometimes they give you really mean words just because they were banned. So i would like to add something to this.

When people are banned and they go on the Website.
They get a blank page with a timer saying when they are unbanned.
And a reason. or how to improve.

Agreed. PMs should not be allowed for banned members, but the problem is that staff still need a way to contact banned users to negotiate their ban.

Well maybe if they didn't get banned. They would've learnt it because it IS their fault of getting banned. I mean. They had a reason to be banned so yeah.

Well. I agree with RikiHino.

When people are IP banned, they see "you have been permenantely banned". You can't see ANYTHING. Now, what if you want to just go to threads on NSMBHD to learn NSMB hacking? You can't. So, I'd recommend even if you are IP banned you should be able to just see NSMBHD posts, threads and the profile posts.

The point of banned users being able to send PMs is if they want to ask the staff for an unban.

Of course, there's abuse. In such cases, just let the staff know. It is possible to block users from sending PMs, but that requires database access, so only dirbaio can do it. I can IP-ban them though, which roughly has the same effect.

The fact banned users can PM is a feature, not a bug, as mentioned in the ABXD source code (I think this comment existed for a long time).

/*
// "Banned users can't send PMs. Bad bad bad, quite often PMs are a good way for them to try and get unbanned." -- Mega-Mario
if($loguser['powerlevel'] < 0)
        Kill("You're banned.");
*/


This feature won't be implemented, however, I think it could be possible to disable sending PMs to non-staff, effectively solving this problem, while following  Arisotura's argument.

GlitchMr's idea is actually quite good. It would avoid having banned derps whining to their derp friends and everyone else.

I'm all for implementing it this way.

What if we could have it so Banned users could only reply to a PM and not send one on their own?

xfix's idea is better. Just my opinion.


It looks perfect.



But mariogalaxythree: Imagine a banned user wanting to ask to a staff user to unban him.

He couldn't start the PM himself, and if the staff don't care enough about him to ask him if he want to be unbanned, he'd wait, huh, forever, and he'd make reregs.


But maybe we could have the permission to reply to any PM and not send one on their own to non-staff user?

Look, usually the staff sends a PM anyways about being banned when a user gets banned, so its no big deal. Some people (and I am not going to name names) SPAM PMs to the point where I just want to block them. And when they are banned, it just looks worse.

That would enable them to still respond to people whom they've had conversations with in the past, and annoy/troll them.

Which is something they can do anyway. The suggestion was just to stop them from starting new conversations.

Yeah, and what I meant is that it doesn't fix the problem of banned users being able to annoy people via PM, it just limits the amount of people they can send to. It seems unfair that there will be a select few people who will be subject to annoying PMs from banned users while the admins/mods label the problem as "fix'd".

Maybe there can be some kind of PMing only between an user and staff?

"But yeah he'll spam" I don't think there is a way of preventing spamming that way except IP banning. With warnings before though.

We need a final decision on this, or the thread will drift down the last posts column unnoticed.
