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.

Good article but I think it reflects bad on you to consider banning people who do bad with one reason is they not donate... it kinda seems like you see good members as ones who donate and bad as ones who dont.

Myself, whether you donate or not, if you do something bad enough to get banned, your gonna get my 14" cyber boot in your arse LOL

The donation part is right lol.

I ban only when rule is broken.

You ban people for not financially contributing to your forum??

I'm sorry but that's a really bad reason to ban someone and that comment throws your whole article into a big negative black hole for me.

This "article"(if you can even call it an article) really seems that it's targeted to one small portion of the admins and the greedy part of them. I personally won't ban if they're constantly swearing, people who talk to me a lot know that I am a sailor mouth.

^^ If a person doesn't contribute it's what they want, you shouldn't ban because they don't give you money, as long as they're posting, they're contributing enough.

Seems to be a poorly written "article", if you could even call it that.

Making websites for the money? A No no.

What I never put a dollar sign in there.

I mean when they contribute nothing to the forum guys.

Holy!

What I meant by $0 then was contributing no value (posts like LOL and ROTFL) to the forum.
