Cooleges/University's use one IP.
They most certainly do not.

Mine does.

While i have no idea of what i'm talking about because i'm not a mod, i feel like it's not too hard to individually ban everyone from a thread consisting of 14 individual posters.


As for the 300+ post threads with 50 or so posters... i can understand why carpet bans don't really apply to those.


They do it sometimes however. I lost my legendary due to a carpet warning.

It doesn't happen very often, so I guess it's simply annoying.

The global IP will be the same. But every bodies internal local IP will be different.
Accordingly, an individuals global IP will be different to whoever they are communicating with, but the same as the default gateway.

Confusing stuff. Subnets and blah blah blah

Individually banning/warning everyone is tedious as hell. Unless of course you would like it if we copy/pasted ban messages and handed out the same ban, regardless of history.


I thought all mods handled this stuff via Soul nowadays? Isn't it just a simple click and Soul will send a message?

When a moderator bans not only the creator of the thread, but everyone who replied.

You'd be surprised how many people have multiple warnings/bans in their history for replying to spam.

I was raised on spam eggs and spam. It took a while for me to break old habits. Now, I HATE SSSSPAM

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

I like carpet bans. It is like nuking -blam!- from orbit.

OP should be banned.

Whatever the online equivalent of a boot in the ass is, the mods should get that for letting a reported thread stay open for so long.

As my wrestling coach might say: "PICK IT UP, GUYS! You're dragging ass today, let's go!"

That sounds about right...

Anyway, every PAX Prime this happens.

GOAT

It begins when some members post in a thread that a mod deems inappropriate. How does the mod try to teach them to control themselves? He bans everyone who posted.

Personally, I find it ironic and ineffective. If the original post is truly appalling, ban the OP and ban those who made it escalate and turned it into a war. There are innocents in every one of those threads, and banning them doesn't even seem worthwhile. I've seen people purposefully escalate threads into flame wars, post completely irrelevant comments which derail threads, and commit much worse than those people who posted innocently in those spam threads.

I get that the mods are not able to moderate every thread all the time, but from a contextual standpoint, I just don't see the point in carpet bans.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

If you go into a thread saying "hot 18 year old tits" and help keep it alive you deserve to be banned. (at least for a week). Report and move on. It's not a difficult concept to follow. 4chan's members, for example, Follow the same concept, especially with pony threads on /b/. Stops headaches, helps ban, stops idiocy. Win win.

Agree with S bot. There was no reason to continue posting off-topic spam in a thread that's against the rules.

I reported it as soon as I saw it and left. What's the point in posting in that thread?
