Oh, I started a cool thread too.. Check it out. :lol:
 
Because it wouldn't be entertaining to read how many noobs get banned for posting a thread bitching that their favorite car didn't make the game/is standard/(some aspect of GT5) sucks/duping is cheating/bring back trading/bitching about people bitching, which then makes the thread itself have the third degree of bitching about the OP's bitching.
 
Eric.

Well said.

Seemed like it would belong here that I just read that "Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo."
Is a grammatically correct sentence, can't find a link ATM.
You should be able to just google it if you don't believe me. :)
 
We really don't put every banishment on there. For one, we have all the spam accounts. It's up to the hammer-swinger in question for each particular situation - sometimes we deem it warranted to update, other times, not so much :)

But come on, there has to have been at least someone worthy of a entry in the "Banned Users Log" that wasn't a spam account within the past week. :)

How come the "Banned User Log" hasn't been updated in a while?

Simple: because there haven't been any bans. You can't update the thread if there's nothing to update it with. Sure, there was a spae of bans over the past few months, but now that GT5 has been released and the forums have settled down, the incidences of infractions and bans have decreased. I only know of one non-adverspam account that has been banned since the last update, and I also know that it doesn't need to be added to the log for certain reasons that we don't need to go into here.
 
I dunno Interludes. I saw a few threads disappear along with some questionable members
pos....... I'm gonna go ahead and stop, I have a feeling that some black suits are on the way.
 
What I don't understand about the banned user log, is how it only started recording banned users in 2005. Is this because GTplanet was more lenient or it wasn't bothered to record names beforehand?
 
It's because we did not bother publicly recording names prior to that. The main reason we started it was because a number of longer-term members were banned and there were many questions about why (as if it hadn't been obvious). We still do not log each and every banning publicly. Spammers and new trolls don't get recorded - we tend to only bother when it is someone who has at least a little history here.

Like that guy who got banned in 1 post?
 
why do people request self-bans? To prevent themselves from being distracted from the real world?
 
The BUL records mostly the interesting bans and the bans of long-timers and prolific members... as explanation for their bans.

If a ban is not really that memorable, nobody is going to record it.

I've wondered that myself. I guess one scenario could maybe be a college student leaves his dorm/desktop computer for awhile and dosent want his [explative] roommates to jump on and get him banned for life.

That is the most common explanation, yes.
