Question about banning ?? Just chatting..

[Gargoyle]

So I go to this website today because it was linked by the smfarcade site and it told me I was banned from it... I don't think I had ever been there before and I am sure I was not the person banned but how long to you keep people banned when you ban them ??

I know that IP's get cycled every so often so I was wondering if anyone in the know had a set time for them so as to not ban someone that got an IP cycled to them from another user.

FWIW the site is: http://www.familjegodis.se/forum/

The site you refer to is owned by our very own G6. I have sent her a pm regarding your post.

I have some IP ranges banned, also some of the "mailhosts" totally

If you can send me a PM with your IP and your mailadress you use when you want to register i will set it up for you Gargoyle.

Thank you for giving me the notice PhilH

Honestly I was just browsing around... I love to see what other people have done with TP and SMF with all the neat little codes and so on.

G6 I will notify you as to what my IP address is at the moment as soon as I am at my other computer. Thanks!!

So anyway how long does everyone keep their bans active ??

Depends on why the persons banned , could be days/weeks/months/years or forever...

Ok Just so you dont think i have banned you in person, you must have eather a mail ban or an iprange, but if you just came to the ban frame directly i think more of an IP range ban, so if you send me the details i can check it out.

G6, this is the result of me adding the ISP's hostname as part of a ban for "you know who".
If you'd like to allow this person access to your site PM me and we'll talk a little more about why this ban is on in the first place.

G6 I don't think you would have banned me so no worries there. I am not taking it personal or anything..
