hi, new to the septagon so excuse me if this has been gone over ( I only have 8 hours till work tomarrow and dont want to spend it searching the forums, thx). if someone is blacklisted, when are they allowed if allowed back to post? I'm sure it depends on the severity of the issues, but is there a standard for 1st offenses? or 2nd and 3rd for that matter?

Minor offenses are usually for seven days exactly. More severe offenses can usually last anywhere from seven days to being permanent.

And of course, Master Forum Ninjas have the ability to alter a blacklist to last longer or shorter.

You know.....it took me about 6 months to get the answer to that question. Why? well because I was never blacklisted so I never cared to know. I know you're just curious and all but if you follow the rules you wont have to worry about a blacklist. I know you're not new to the forums so I wont "lecture" you anymore :)

I think that if Bungie does blacklist someone they should put the quote into the blacklist screen on what got the user blacklisted. Alot of times the people don't know what got them blacklisted.

Normal forum ninjas can't set a reason for bans. We usually send a message along with the ban to explain it. Unless it's a permanent one, and it's really obvious why it happened.

Yeah...I noticed in my group that if you don't have full control of the blacklisting you can't send a message to the person...it just says something about being blacklisted by a mod.

You can always PM a user.

Some of us don't have time for that, though. Espcially when a group of idiots have all descended onto a single thread.

Frankly, the "Some people don't know why they get blacklisted" bit is crap, if you ask me. Perhaps if people thought before they posted, they'd realize that maybe they're posting something worthy of blacklisting.

And yes...some people really need to think before thay post.

Well, sometimes you say so many bad things that you don't know which particular one pissed the moderator enough to get you blacklisted and you want to know so you don't make the same mistake.

They need to think or possibly go over the rules again. I say the mods/ninjas should not even send a message saying why they just say read the rules and find where you failed to follow them.

Something along the lines of "Don't be an asshat" and a link to the FAQ's/Help should be sufficient for most users.

However, if as one poster stated "If you say so many bad thing and you don't know which one" perhaps you should try not typing.

I think there should be a five blacklist rule...if you get blacklisted for the same thing over five times you apparently can't read the rules or your to stupid to understand them...so you get kicked.

I think that would cut down the number of blacklistings.

That's too thought police-ish. You'd have mass criminals then.

All public forums excluding groups/chapters.

Groups/chapters are an entirely different thing.
