               I don't ban anyone but I do add them to my ignore list.

Folks who send me PMs inviting me to a PW.
Folks who send me PMs advertising junk.
Folks who send me PMs linking to polls.
Folks who send me PMs linking me to messages.

Of course, if they're on my friends list, I don't ignore them.

FP!

               This sounds a bit off topic; if you mean from an NWN 1 PW, no I have not been banned as a player, and have banned only 1 player from my PW campaign, though there were three prior to me hosting our PW that were banned for griefing.



And as far as from these or other BioWare Forums, it is generally not open for discussion.

               Well I haven't seen Kail post yet...



I've only been banned from one message board in my 10+ years of posting...  That was a political forum with a very biased group of mods...

               We have banned 12 people...all the same person though using skimmed CD Key Codes. And from what I understand we ended up sharing these with four other large servers because of his actions on those servers. (Greifing, sexual tells, and junk like that.)



I wish Gamespy had a true policing group so he could have just been removed all together.

               I have banned a total of 16 people.  9 of those were only temporary bans as these people only caused minor disruptions and just needed a temporary "time out" in order to let their issues and the parties involved calm down.   We currently have 7 people on our permanent ban list. 

We do not take permanent banning lightly as I firmly believe that after a "time-out" most mature and reasonable individuals will realize that what they have done has caused a major disruption to other peoples fun.  Obviously though, some people do not learn even after numerous explanations of why their behaviors were offensive and several chances to correct such behavior.  I'd much rather ban a few people who cause disruptions for others rather than allow them to continue to cause disruptions.

               1.Why lol whos Kail?



2.Ya some people out there have multiple cds...Those are like the hardcore trouble makers they go out and buy new cds lol and come back just to cause more trouble.



3.As for not posting this is general discusion ....well i dont think there is really a good spot for it..maybethe dm spot but i figure the storys are intresting.



4.As a moderator what do you look for when banning people.Do you have like a code you follow or do you just get frustrated and ban them.I was awalys curious about that.A long time ago i guess someone named scareface got banned but it sounded like he was a good scriptor.I feel some people just get frustrated with computers along with scripting and tend to freak out a little.



5.As for me i was banned on the vast when i first started playing.It landed up being the first server i ever played and i awalys wanted to go back because it was my first server.AFTER $ years they finally unbaned me.



6.Overall i dont think people should be banned.Only kicked from games.Maybe if you have a persistant unban dm widget you could ban them for like a time but i think everyone deserves a second chance.

               6) Not everyone deserves a second chance!  But i do agree that personalities can sometimes get in the way and conflicts occur.  



1) Kail... you serious?   I think not knowing of Kail is a bannable for life offence!  LOL  '>  jk

               I hate banning people because they usually react in a crazy destructive ways when we do, but it's gotta be done sometimes. We've had x-players that create new blog pages about our server because they were mad at a ban... seriously, people? Just find another PW, it's not worth all that.

I've only been banned from one PW because one of my pcs mentioned she lived in the Vast and was just visiting the server's area. I used to work there and some of the staff and I butted heads before I left. Kinda funny because the head guy admitted technically I hadn't done anything ban worthy and it was a wrongful ban.

               I only ever banned one person from my server.  

Killing cows for no good reason the instant you log-in on a RP campaign server and ignoring Tells will do that though.

               Banning a Player would be best, because then the players KNOW what kind of server it is, if you can't constructively handle bad players (eg. characters), and banning is your only solution, then I guess it only shows what kind of server your running... (Score one for the dark!)

I always get really constructive on this subject...

Naptime is a DM tool I use to black out the players screen, of course the script tells them why they have been put to sleep, and if they log, they will have to start the process ALL OVER AGAIN...
They can't shout / speak by any means / nor send tells...
So they are 100% disabled...more or less

If they really want to be a pest, they can log on another toon, show their still being obnoxious, and then promptly get a nap for that character as well...

If they just don't know when to quit, become obnoxious even more, then we properly bring them to town and have a nice little parade. where all their gear is randomly distributed amoungst the onlookers (Players) - (Think like Luskan Carnaval here...) "100% DM control is always fun.."

Then of course if they flat out disrepect everyone, attempt to crash the server, or are blatantly hating, then we reserve the chains of darkness forever for them... unfortunately....

               I still disagree with banning.Especially for just killing cows.What if that player really liked your server....and actually genisys has about the best idea where to just black out there screen with a dm tool.



Could you post your script or link to that.Id prefer a single script instead of a package.I looked threw some of those packages you made dont dont remember seeing that in there.
