I know it is known of my business, but I have noticed some "senior" level members banned in the last few days. Â I know Charon well and know that this isn't the old ioplist where one mistake gets you banned. Â I really don't think I need to worry about getting banned because I'm civil, don't engage in flame wars, and follow the rules. Â I'm just curious if someone can give a generic answer on what will end up in a member being banned.
Shilling, trolling, flame wars, etc I assume have led to the bannings. Â Or maybe a warning was given for a behavior and the person continued that behavior. Â Don't feel obliged to answer as I'm kind of thinking out loud.
Quote:26. If we have banned any member, it is for a reason. Please DO NOT question the Administration over the banning of any member by PM’ing us or by creating a specific thread on why that member was blocked.

Well, We always have strong reasons to ban them. If you can name a few i don't mind telling you, But again the Administration is not questionable to anyone for anything. Still i would clarify if you need to know anything because we don't want to leave the Old IOPList impression here as well.
Sorry, I didn't see rule 26. Â I was just curious, but read some posts and can see where and why a certain member was banned. Â Sorry for breaking the rules. Â I know you guys/girls aren't ban happy, but someone had sent me a PM prior to being banned, nothing important, and then I saw he was banned. Â I know the admins/mods here have integrity and I don't need anymore information. Â I also realize this isn't the old ioplist where you get banned for spelling a word wrong. Â Actually, I shouldn't have asked the question as its against the rules. Â Technically I broke a rule, which would be grounds for being banned, but ICE politely pointed out the rule and admin of steel you also approached my ruling breaking in a polite way. Â I'm definitely not going to argue for someone to be unbanned. Â You get banned here you made your own bed. Â And I'm not going to argue to try to get someone unbanned because that's not my place. Obviously, I didn't intentionally break the rule so I know this is like a "warning" and shall I ask the question again then some type of punishment will occur. Â I'll re-read the rules. Â Apologies and thanks for responding. Â
And I hope my post didn't insinuate that any bannings were unfair or that I was implying this was like the old ioplist. Â This feels like ioplist circa 2013; a close knit community with good admins/mods. Â Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the info. Â I appreciate the professionalism shown in my rule breaking thread.
You're a good man Bighead.... My hat (if I had one) comes off to you... So glad you're here my friend...

What's up BigHead? I remember you from the old .com. We used to exchange emails back in the day. I went by a different username then. Do you still use the same email from like a year ago? I'm sure I probably have your email somewhere in my email account. Let me know if you still use same email and I'll hit you up.

Yep, was me. Â And I probably still use the old email you have. Â I have quite a few emails for different purposes (personal, IOP's, professional, ones I give to people I'm not sure about, ect). Â Let me know when you email me as the address you have is getting a lot of spam, but is my primary IOP email I use and gave out to people I was comfortable with. Â I can PM you a throw away email address if you can't find mine and then once I know who you are can give you my primary one if you don't have my old adress.

Thank you Ice.  I broke a rule accidently, which doesn't make it okay, but I'm not above admitting my mistakes.  And I'm glad to be here.  I actually haven't checked into any of my other forums since I became active here.  I like the community feel you guys have fostered here.  It's like returning home after being away for a long while.
