Mr. Doctor:
Banned from posting? Is there another kind of ban around here? :?
Anyway: I see two different ways of understanding the whole "she didn't want to get involved with anyone before she left"
1) She changed her mind after saying that and maybe wants to have fun times with Marten
2) This was just a one-time thing.
I really want to see Marten and Padma together. I think they look cute and it seems like a relationship without hella drama like when he was with Dora.
Throg:
You don't troll to the point of pissing off the mods. No excuses.
oh wait--
TheEvilDog:
Am I the only one hearing Leaving on a jet plane throughout this entire storyline?

A simple ban prevents logging in at all, and is what I do to spammers and trolls, for instance, and what previous admins have automatically done. In this case I used a ban that prevents posting (and also blocks re-registering another account to get round it) but allows logging in so that the person can continue to get their unread post flags. Bans can also be set for a limited time, so can be used as a temporary punishment - but I have not used this possibility yet, as I don't want to encourage a culture of testing the limits of tolerance which this might lead to.
Today's ban was not for being controversial, which obviously should not be an offence in itself - repeated expression of unacceptable sexist views was the main, but not the sole, basis. I don't believe there was any intent to troll, unlike the previous people whose bans I've instigated.
[edit]:
P.S.: There is also a way in which I could prevent a person posting just in a specific forum; I can picture circumstances in which that might be used.
Mr. Doctor:
Thanks pwhodges, I was mostly curious about how things work here when it comes to bans and now I know. :)
