I have a question for mods

[CinnamonOD]

I just saw some users getting banned today and these questions came up from me:

How many users a day do you ban (average)?
What is the most common reason?
What's the highest number of users you have banned in a single day?

 

[Pako]

If I kept track, I would have turned in my mod badge many years ago.

The most common reason would be spam bots, like the user you witnessed getting banned tonight. On a very active day, I have banned a mere 15+ users. Other staff, I'm sure, have much higher numbers.

Yeah, that "thing" I corrected telling that "it" posted on the wrong forum section, I went curious about his posts and I knew he was spamming, I wanted to report it to a mod but when I checked his profile it was already banned

Thank you for the answer!

Back when GT5 was released, fifteen in one day was a good day.

"Good" means no more than 15 or not less than 15?

For question #2, it's mainly because fools do the following:

"Clicking on "I have read and agreed to the terms & conditions" when you haven't done either doesn't give you exemption, no matter how hard you believe it does."

And now I understand why you guys don't update the Log as much.

how about a "great" and a "bad" day?

Yeah, this. GTPlanet's AUP is one of the very few "End User License Agreements" that I had to ACTUALLY READ from word to word just so I can keep using this site with no problems.

For sure! But I did verbatim after I got two (yes, two) infractions worth 10 points each. Expiring: NEVER. I mean, never?
I was young, stupid and ugly... Now these 20 points are hanging like sword of Damocles above my head and it`s not a good feeling.

A bit off-topic but: Is is possible to obtain pardon after a year or so? Even if you get life imprisonment in Germany you can ask for pardon after 15 years.

No more than fifteen.

I couldn't even begin to tell you. I think I banned fifteen accounts - most, if not all of them, ad-bots - in one hour once. Only a handful of moderators come from Australia and New Zealand, so there was the occasional period where there was a whole lot of activity and only a handful of moderators.

In the end, it's why I stopped being a moderator. The forums were no longer fun.
