Seriously, after grabbing my attention on the regular forums hyping this up to regular members to play only to say "sorry you no good," I had it enough with this and spend way too much unnecessary time and energy arguing over this pointless trivial matter. So good luck, goodbye and have fun with your mafia but please keep the unreasonable bashing to me out. RoL, I don't even know what to say about you but you gave me a good laugh, thanks. Stop being a martyr. You aren't the victim here. You have been part of the mafia community long enough to know our rules, and have had access to the forum long enough to have typed in a thread /sitout or message incog or qatol about it. The only person here at fault is you. | ||

Anyone modkilled is put on a list each time they get modkilled. and a small description of why they had been modkilled next to it. for example. Player name Reason Coagulation - inactivity Coagulation - Disruptive behavior Each time they are modkilled they will have a new report put in the list. then it is up to the HOST accepting sign ups to go over the ban list and review the people that are banned and make a decision based on that information. Bans should be considered based on the circumstances and individual instances. this cookie cutter system doesnt work. And the bottom line is its up to the host if they want to have a specific player in their game. not anyone else and not a list. I would like to hear some thoughts on this. The first thing that comes to mind is that this method involves a lot of reading for a new host because, as far as I can tell, people are never removed from the list. So this would have to become something every host would have to do at the start of every game (they would have to check every player signed up for their game and make sure they are okay with that person's history). Now this isn't THAT much more than what hosts already have to do, but I wouldn't be able to lessen the burden for the hosts as easily (I generally know who is banned and I try to help the hosts out, but the more people on the list, the harder it is for me to do this). And all of this is assuming that the writeups of every ban are detailed enough to actually give proper context to the hosts (which I'm unsure of). Secondly, I'm unsure how your suggestion would handle a situation like QuickStriker's. I don't think a host would have thought twice about allowing him into a game if his only ban history is a 5 month old inactivity ban. Your system has no way of accounting for activity between the ban and the current game. Finally, I'm concerned that a ban history would result in especially harsh sentences because some hosts may decide to just never let people who have been modkilled to play. On the other hand, this might also just allow the ban list to erode if hosts decide that inactivity modkills aren't a big deal. (I realize I'm going in both directions here, but this depends on how hosts would react to such a change). | ||

1) If you went inactive for an important reason, you wouldn't mind sitting out a few games while something should be taking up more of your time. It shows maturity, which is an extremely desirable trait here. I'd rather take someone who got modkilled, sat out a game patiently, then joined up for the next one, then someone who is new. 2) If it was pure laziness, and the person just "forgot" to count his bans, or didn't keep track of the game, do we really want that liability on here? I think those points cover everything. | ||

But at the same time I don't think this would accomplish anything new in terms of hosting. If I was hosting a game, if you're on the banlist you're not playing, regardless of the reason you're on there. I think most hosts would think along the same lines. | ||

For instance I think most people would say an inactivity ban is not quite as bad as a ban for bad behavior in a game (think Showtime! or BM). This would allow people to make the distinction between someone who is known for bad behavior versus someone who got banned because they had a life crisis to attend to mid-game (it happens to everyone). But at the same time I don't think this would accomplish anything new in terms of hosting. If I was hosting a game, if you're on the banlist you're not playing, regardless of the reason you're on there. I think most hosts would think along the same lines. I'm with Tim here. | ||
