What happens if you get banned?

The forum software only allows us to do so much.

There is a banner feature that allows a thread to be in a banner on the top. We could add the suicide hotlines to the guidelines thread and make that thread the banner topic. It is more obvious than a pinned topic and will stay at the top until users dismiss the banner.

As far as I know, only the site admistrator (@SzAdmin) has access to emails sent to the website email address (szwebmaster@yahoo.com) provided in the “About” Tab. The moderators do not have access to those emails.

that sounds like a very good idea,

@Moonbeam who is @SzAdmin now?

He’d prefer to stay anonymous.

well at least i know it is a guy now, we are all anonymous here, i wasn’t asking for his name, age, dob :confused:

it annoys me that he is supposedly in charge and yet we know nothing about him, i knew more about Dugal, i liked Dugal and bc he was more involved with members i felt more at ease.

What does he mean “now”. Szadmin account is run by a different person. Pretty sure I’ve seen a pic of szadmin on the main site not the forums.

This is an anonymous forum. We all get to be anonymous if we want to. You know very little about me as well, and I’m much more active than szadmin. Some people just want to be anonymous online, and we should respect that.

That might have been the site founder.

If I were a moderator, never would wanna ever have that much responsibility. Much respect to all the mods… I would moreso maintain my anomonity I think.

SzAdmin is not here to share about his life with us and get support, he’s here to keep things running smoothly. He cares about this community, but he’s not a very active participant. That is okay. We’re not entitled to know personal information about the forum administrator, and he’s not obliged to share it with us. He still does a good job.

He gave me a like today so he’s cool in my book :open_book: :books: :blush:

Plus I think he really cares about people. He’s not sz so doesn’t always know the perfect way to react but does his best.

i think he cares as well, in fact i know he cares bc if he didnt then he wouldnt be liking posts and writing news items, why doesnt he have a bio though?

he just mentions he is the admin and quotes the infamous email address lol

Why don’t you write something they object to and find out?

None of the volunteer staff have a Bio. We are all anonymous which is consistent with the forum guidelines.

tbh Blizzard, i will be happy if the can highlight the emergency numbers and rules in that banner type thing @anon9798425 mentioned, maybe admins bio could be a bit more specific, these are just suggestions, i am not having a go at anyone if that’s what you think

Good. I’m not interested in being banned either but my love of satire puts me in the dog house sometimes. I also can’t handle some issues well so it’s best to try to avoid them. I used to hate the fact that politics and religion were generally not allowed but the way those issues have alienated people lately makes it not bother me that much now.

I recently got banned for a night and morning until I wasn’t drinking anymore…surprised me but it’s the rules…you can’t talk about beer here or anything recreational about beer.
