Banning Members

Every moderator and admin is going to come upon this choice. It's a guarantee when you start a forum that their are going to be members that are troublesome, that spam and ones that you will need to ban. For a successful forum there will always be bumps in the road.

However some forum admin's make big mistakes when they ban there users. Thats what prompted this guide by me, I've been banned for wrong things and I can honestly say I've banned (once) for the wrong reasons as well.

When To Ban.

- When a user has posted pornographic imaging/ Child Porn or any illegality
- Spammed your site at all
- Broken your rules over 10 times unless these are major rules
- Is offending other users
- Constantly Swearing
- Contribution nothing to the community

When NOT to Ban

This is the best part.

- For Personal Reasons.. If "bob" yelled at you at school yesterday.. Why ban him from a site it has nothing to do with it
- Because you don't like them - When you do that it shows that your not professional and makes others notice your attitude about your site
- For critiques - Don't ban a member for complaining about a part of your site.

I hope you enjoyed my article. I liked writing it.

Ok,

Chase.. Then ask them NOT to rate my articles as the ability.

If it goes both ways then cool.

But we do offer the article rating facility - we want members to be able to see the higher rated articles clearly, in case they are short on time etc.
