Does it ever actually get updated?
Oh, and while were at it; why do the emoticons have half of them missing?

They only update with bans of members that have been here for awhile, or have high-post counts.

Yes it does. But to be honest, it's best that it doesn't get updated because when it does get updated, that means one less person gets to enjoy the wonderful world of :gtplanet: .

And on the subject of emoticons missing, I don't think that is very important. The whole purpose of the Banned User Log is to note down who has been banned for how long, and for what reason. Not to look pretty or anything.
 
They don't even put everyone down. There are a lot of people that go without reason

I don't even think that it's because a lot of people go without reason. I think if they listed every time someone got banned from :gtplanet: . there would probably be more text in that one Log then there is in my 1,000+ posts.
 
On a sightly related thing, I tried to search user OnlyOneCanoil but it returns a invalid user error. So, is OnlyOnecanoil a joke in banlog? :roll:

Where do you see half of the emoticons "missing"?

Apparently, that was a typo; the user in question is "OnlyOneCanoli".

Everyone that is banned has a reason for being banned. What you mean is that there are a lot of people that go without explanation.
 
I didn't see you randomly ban people i just say you dont put everyone in there and dont tell why he was banned
 
Banned users who have a low post count(are no-bodies or GTP babies) do not get added.
This may not apply to a dupe account my by a banned user just to troll and annoy because they lack the brains to get the message of "YOU'RE BANNED".

Others are spambots, no use in adding "banned another spambot" to the banned user log.
 
Time is a factor too. Some people have been banned with no explanation given to anyone other than the mods and the user him/herself. (for example, noisiaturismo).

So no one except the Mods know why that poor guy was banned? I'm guessing it had something to do with grammar.

Yup, nobody knows. Having seen some of his posts, I can't say I'm surprised. It wasn't grammar. He seemed very confrontational. And I seem to recall him complaining about what he was given in the secret santa thread, despite not following up on his end of the bargain.

I do remember him being quite confrontational like you have said - he was always right and if anyone disagreed with him then they were stupid (so he thought anyway). I don't really think he was all that bad though, I mean I can think of a few people who are worse IMO.
You are probably right, it was probably something to do with the secret Santa thread (or maybe that was the last of a cumulation of things).
 
It is at our discretion if we want to add to the B.U.L. or not, it's that simple.
 
Yeah i dont care who you add im just explaining not everyone is added. I just read it because its funny sometimes
 
The Banned User Log is possibly the most entertaining thing to read of all time. Love the descriptions.
 
AMG.

Yeah we know, but forgive us if we speculate over particular cases.

He was confrontational, but most of his thread contributions were very unhelpful and i did well to bite my tongue at that guy :lol:

Yeah, the ban log isn't truly plain or boring for something like it is.

The point of the Banned User Log was so we didn't have wasteful threads and post after post regarding "why was so-and-so banned", followed by useless petitions to get the mods to change their minds.

Bear in mind it may sometimes be the same person on a different named account so they may not be put up or may not be banned for some reason.

Phew, so I wasn't the only one to not enjoy his presence. I just remember quoting a user and simply saying "I don't care." I reckon he got banned after taking that rudeness too far or taking it to the mods.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that the OP has been answered, except for the emoticons bit, because no one knows what he's talking about. :p

Haha i thought i was the only one too! :D
 
My question pertaining to banned users is this.

Once banned, is it always permanent?

I met a guy online that runs some very respectable, competitive and fun shuffle races. Since the rooms were always set up using GTP OLR rules I always assumed he was a member of GTP. It turns out he had been but was banned.

I figured I'd at least ask if it was possible for him to be a member of this community again.

I know, it's almost as good as when someone creates a thread about how GTP is terrible awesome because they got caught lying...
