Personally, I'm a bit critical of permabans since they tend to be lifted on a whim - I know a LOT of people who've been "permabanned" and ended up returning less than a month later. Temp bans almost feel more sincere, in that aspect.

It's simple honestly, whether a person wants to read them or not it is still there in front of there faces as they scroll down looking for someone that has been banned that they know of.

The main thing is making it clean and more professional.

And that is the problem right there, you don't care. Is that really a great path to take as a staff member?.

It is really not hard to write Spam bot or Spammer instead of Faggot or Wanker.

Being staff on here is a job, you may not be getting paid for it but it is still a job that you took voluntarily but do you think any legit work place or business would approve of similar actions without you getting let go?.

You all complained about cancerous posts because it was bringing the quality of the forum down, so far those posts have been easing off although there is still some bad ones so consider that problem at least almost fixed, but how is using unprofessional manner any different from bringing the quality of the forum down?.

This is just 1 very simple easy to fix no hassle suggestion that can help at least slightly bring the quality up. It may not be much but every little bit counts.

The ban list is a gimmick. There is no point of you guys being able to see it, but @Oni thought if fit to add. I'm not going to change the way I do things because you guys can see it. The only person to whom a ban reason matters is the banned user. If the banned user is a bot or a carder, then there are zero people to whom the ban reason matters.

Yeah, the forum has improved from last week as a direct result of that thread. I thank you for actually understanding and altering the way you posted. The thing is, the ban list does not affect the quality of the forum in any way whatsoever. Only a select few user groups can even see the damned list. So no, being nice to bots won't bring the quality up.

EDIT: I'll stop calling them faggots. Calm down.

A staff's job is supposed to be professional nothing you can say will change that NOTHING. Spam bot's or not bans should be done in a professional manner.

I am not trying to cause drama, I am stating pure facts. If YOU and everybody else want's Sinisterly to be better then don't you think acting like mature adults is the proper way to go or would you all rather act like 12 year old kids?.

Man up to your wrong doings, I manned up to mine.

And lets not turn this into an argument either.

Your "EDIT: I'll stop calling them faggots. Calm" could of been the first reply to this thread and it would of been simple, done and over with. The only thing is to get any other staff to agree to do the same.

EDIT: You also ignored most of my points. tl;dr I'll do my job as I like. If @Oni has a problem with something I do, he lets me know and we sort it out. Period. None of you guys need to trouble yourselves.
