What happens?
« on: July 20, 2007, 08:35:46 pm »
No i do not want to find out first hand but all i wanna know is what happens when you are banned?  Can you no longer come to soldatforums or are you just forbidden to post?  How exactly does it work?  The reason i ask is because earlier today when the website wasnt working I thought i got banned for something becasue the page wouldnt load (even though i was sure i didnt do anything lol).  And how do you know if you are banned... i mean do you send emails or something.

And again i say NO i do not want to find out in a bad way.  A simple answer would be good.  (Sorry if this is in the wrong place)

If I'm not mistaken, you cannot log into your account, but you can still view stuff as a guest.

it depends on the kind of ban.  We can make the ban apply to your username or IP or e-mail address, and we can make it so that any combination of those things can either read or post, or neither.  Usually we go for a full ban on all of the information we have on someone, so that they can't even read the forums.

when i was banned i got this for a whole week:

you are banned from the soldatforums for 7days. please come back after that period.

in a box in the midlle of a blue screen, couldn't see anything of the forums besides that.

Yeha, I knew that, considering I was IP banned from a forum a little under 4 years ago...
