Banned

[Jack W]

What does it mean, when under someone's profile, it says "BANNED" in red letters?

It usually means they have been put in a timeout status anywhere from a day to even a few months. Sometimes the bans are permanent if they are a spammer.

Erm, it means they're.....banned from using the forum due to violating the rules.....

Hopefully that's answered?

I says the username in red letters.

I think it means the same thing it does on pretty much any other online forum anymore. More likely suspended than truly banned. Unless it was an automated spam dispenser to begin with.

Whose username? We need an example of what you're talking about.............

It means you should use your imagination.

Hey, it's a valid question considering the so-called "banned" person is posting.

Doesn't make sense to me.

Interesting. Been a member of this interactive forum since Jan 2011 and has never interacted until now. Ah ha! It was a clever ruse and he'll have 847 posts by next Tuesday.

I'm glad he asked the question. On two of the games I'm on, when you are banned, you are totally outta there. Your email address and computer IP address are locked out. Only way you can access those sites is to change your email address and use a different computer. Some sites have some serious banning going on. Fallen Sword is one of them, and I think Perfect World is the other.
