You are aware that that would mean giving moderators the power to tempban people?

I doubt that's actually necessary. They would have to log requests with an adminstrator. We have at least a couple around every day, it wouldn't be hard to simply hit the button a couple times.

Unless I'm completely wrong about how the interface works.

We have a temp ban request button? Where?

[The E]

Would be news to me as well.

Please DON'T consider giving us (The GD Moderation duo) Temp ban power.

Between my infrequent bouts of DRUNK, and Nukes "relaxed" moments... Everyone would end up banned at some point

We could always just get a decent mod for the GD boards....

Not what I meant. I know you guys have your own forum, sticky a topic. It might not be rapid, but it'll work.

I'm active on the official [adult swim] forums (a corporate board using Lithium's software), and the volunteer moderators there have the power to temp-ban, and even perma-ban, individual users.  Users are allowed to have more than one account per IP there, though, so only the administrator can hand out blanket IP bans.  I'm not necessarily suggesting we should extend some level of ban privileges to mods here, but I think there's at least cause to discuss it.

Global mods tend to police things before i get wind of them to be honest.

So to you Scotty indeed.

You're not helping your case.

Only joking.

I don't think it's possible in SMF for moderators to ban (or even temp-ban) members.

Or give moderators just the power to deny a user access to their board for a couple days? Might be hard to implement though.

Essentially I think the forum software is such that if it's not in SMF, it's not happening.

[Nuclear1]

You failed to attach your fs2_open.log to the support request.  You are banned for 2 days.  NEXT!!!!!!!

NO FSO SUPPORT FOR YOU!

Somehow, I think people's mentality that GD is a joke board is more harmful than anything. If a meeting hall board would return, I'm confidant that people would have the intelligence to think "oh hey, we're not supposed to just dick around here" or go around shouting "well hey man, that's just like my opinion." But then again, I forget why we got rid of the last meeting hall, so I could be wrong.

It is a joke board. This ain't Fight Club.
