Forum Member Banishment?

[BDL1969]

Hey guys,

I was just reading a thread and noticed, where it says your status, i.e., junior member, senior member, one person's said "banned". How does one post if they were banned? Just curious.....

I would guess the post were posted before they were banned and they were banned before you read the post. Not an administrator, but that would be my guess.

Seems logical.

There will be more of that if certain kids don't cool it!

Accounts are being banned due to the immature behavior of what appears to be one or two juveniles who think it is funny for the admins to monitor the recent high volume of bogus threads and bogus replies to legitimate threads.
Actually it is a matter of a couple clicks and POOF, the threads and replies are gone. Banning users is just as easy; click, click, POOF!
Way easier and less time consuming for us than it is for the trolls. The trolls have to create a new email account for every bogus forum account. That's a lot of trouble for no appreciable return for your time.

The sad thing is that this activity is during school hours on school computers. I am sure this activity will be a real to these kids in the future when they have to rely on what they learned in school.

There are two main public school IP addresses that allow access the forum from school and they can be blocked if necessary. It might be a good idea to let the trolls know that no one will be able to access the forum from school if this continues.

It would be a public service for the Admins to have the school access blocked . Being a former teacher I can't imagine an educational purpose to allowing access during the school day in the first place . Seems like a lack of accountability on the part of both student and school .
