Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Warnings and bans aren't necessarily permanent marks on your trust rating. Each one "lasts" a certain amount of time, and then it no longer affects the rating.

So, I'm guessing I should probably by a little more irked by GodsProphet's errant warning a few months back now, eh? Or the two bans I received very early in my stay on B.net. Phooie.
Oh well, my ego still has Legendary branded all over it.
Does the number of days banned effect how long it will stay?
Yes it does. In general, the longer the ban, the more of an affect it has and assumably the longer it lasts.
Though as a side note, I'm pretty sure that the bans and warnings of old, those from roughly two site updates ago, don't count against you. I'm pretty sure those are long forgotten.

For me it just seems to reward the type of posters that I hate the most. The type of people who post only in the Septagon, make no threads of their own, and otherwise only contribute to a forum based on helping out the other forums; as opposed to actually posting and participating in the forums. I never expected a title based on my history, but the way it is handed out now I can only shake my head.
I feel that I should say that this kind of attitude isn't healthy. I thought similar feelings towards the Halo 3 forum before I realised I was bordering on paranoia.
But some of the individuals you describe, like myself, don't want all the attention that comes with having all of the Bungie.net forum scrutinize you. I like helping people, and I find the best, and safest, place to do that is here, in The Septagon, and in some private chapters. I don't dislike attention, but it's that attention that has gotten me in trouble in the past. Not everyone is here for the same reason, and I feel it's best to acknowledge that and move on with your own personal adgenda, whatever that may be.
