siliconinvestor.com Bans and Ignores I can't find the place to ban users from my thread, except on messages. When can I ban someone? (Last Updated: 3/9/2006 10:36:28 AM) After the person to be banned has posted. If someone is going to be banned they should at least get a chance to earn the distinction of making the thread's ban list. Silicon Investor encourages participation and thread moderators should as well as long as the poster is not overly disruptive and conforms to site rules and thread guidelines. Bans are not to be issued on Investment Forum boards solely on the basis of a poster's investment perspective unless the board carries a "Bulls Board" or "Bears Board" designation. Within the scope of those broad guidelines, ban/unban decisions are at the moderators' discretion. Users who are unsatisfied with a moderator's use of the ban feature should look to other threads on the subject, and can also start a new thread if no suitable alternatives exist. Moderators: You can ban users by clicking on the Ban link that appears in the center of the page directly above and again below the message text area. The link is available only in single-post mode, not batch mode. To quickly access single-post view from batch view, simply place the cursor in the box that contains the offending message's sequence number "[12341 ] of 12565" and hit Enter. That will take you to single-post view mode, and the ban links will appear there. You can remove a user from the ban list by clicking in the number of bans shown on the Subject listing "Posts: 45678 \| Member Bookmarks: 223 \| Bans (3)" and clicking Unban next to the user's name. The site admins have the ability to ban/unban on all threads, including non-moderated threads. Banning activity is logged, and moderators found to be egregiously abusing the feature are subject to losing their moderator privileges. Can I see how many threads I am banned from? (Last Updated: 11/4/2004 6:57:51 PM) Yes. It is shown in your profile.
