Read the damn title

Edited:

Can we please make this bannable for like 10 minutes, we see at least three posts about search every page

Why only 10 minutes? If they can't read the title they probably deserve more time than that.

I don't know if this is the right place for it but can a mod change the title of this thread http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1193566 to 'The Black Roots Music Thread - Soul,Blues, Jazz, Funk Etc'

Huh? How'd that happen?

i-am-teh-sex · 28th June 2012

No, it's not me getting unbanned - it's me unbanning a person whose username didn't show up for whatever reason ( http://facepunch.com/member.php?u=406310 )

**LordCrypto** · 28th June 2012

considering neither the ban nor the unban shows up in his eventlog

its safe to say hes a wizard

Gran PC · 28th June 2012

Funnily enough, his ban didn't appear in the global ban list in the mod panel either

**Zillamaster55** · 28th June 2012

This thread is disgusting it really is

Gran PC · 28th June 2012

I was checking that out right now - alt of a perma'd user.

**Zillamaster55** · 28th June 2012

Thanks Gran

by ten minutes you mean an hour right

because thats the lowest ban iirc

I know back around when I joined they had shorter bans, less than half an hour.

**Blazyd** · 28th June 2012

At the bottom of the homepage it says "38,214 Active Users"

What makes you count as an 'active user'? Do you need to have logged in in the past week/month/day or something or the sort?

Why do I see people recieving bans for posting in the wrong section (Perhaps accidentally or unknowingly) instead of being given a friendly nudge in the right direction or having said thread moved to the right section.

Because we don't have warnings here, short bans function as that.

Fenderson · 28th June 2012

question, why do some people get banned for image macros and some people dont? is there some sort of special rank you have to reach in order to post an image macro without getting banned? how can i reach that rank?

I'm not talking about warnings. I'm on about the fact that the reaction is always hostile. There's no polite request or mention that they're posting in the wrong section, and sometimes they don't realise it's the wrong section.

If it's not a meme and it's a funny addition to the discussion you're safe; most of the time, atleast.

Because it's easier all around if people take some effort and make sure they're in the right section instead of just posting wherever they want and assuming the mods will deal with it. That's lazy.

It's really not hard to figure out what section your thread goes in, or ask us before you post it. Why would we need to make a polite request to post your threads in the right section anyways? That's obvious.

"You won't get banned if you personally have made an image macro especially for that reply"

And also, /why/ can't blue members use the search function anymore?

**SEKCobra** · 28th June 2012

^ Banable please?

GordonZombie · 28th June 2012

Hm? For making a pretty simple enquiry? I read the OP and it didn't say why, just that it was disabled. An explanation would be appreciated. And even if it's been answered at some point in this thread I lack the time and the patience to search through each page.

If you went like 2 pages back , used the search option in your browser for quick skimming you would find it.
It's been asked several times now.

I just did it!
Went a whole TWO, fucking TWO pages back, searched for "blue", found a post.

search has been disabled for blue members to prevent overflow of traffic. Thus only gold members, and up can actually use the search.

Stop being so lazy.

The problem is that every once on a while there's a swarm of users posting threads in the wrong section - if they took 20 seconds of their life to look for the correct section they'd save me 40 seconds on banning them. However, I won't ban anyone who has posted in the wrong section if they have apologized about it in the OP and remade it in the correct section or something.
