I'm just waiting for Phil to see this thread. I'm sure I'm not the only mod that is getting tired of addressing this same type of thread repeatedly.

if the info was posted the mods would not have to deal with it again and again........
this would be my sugestion.Just make it a sticky in the annocments section or sumthin, that users can not post in, with " user name" rule broken, and earliest possbily return(if permanently banned, jsut say N/A)
i would appreciate that if bannable offences arent made public, then infractions shouldnt be public either. i mean its bass-ackwards from the norm, you dont hear about people getting issued speeding tickets, but murder is all over the news.
just a thought.
just a thought.
How about avenues for banned members to either redeem themselves or at least contact the administration team?
I was temporarily banned for a ridiculous reason and had to sign up multiple alternate accounts just to contact moderators and administrators to dispute just how ridiculous the reason was, which is the only reason I'm back here. You cannot email mods/admins without being a member, there is no way to put in a dispute ticket or get in contact on the forums in any way whatsoever without signing back up, which is so commonly announced as grounds for a permanent ban.
As another example, my roommates account, who has been a MFK member for at least 6 months longer than I have, had all of his posts deleted and was banned because he was (obviously) running the same IP as me. I have PM'd administrators to try and remove the ban but have had no reply. What gives?
Also, as far as I've been told, moderators have the power to ban members, but not unban them, which is fine and dandy when you want to get rid of a bot or spammer, but not when you've made a mistake and need to correct it.
