Wouldn't atot life be so much simpler if mods just granted bans on demand instead of having members do stupid things to earn their punishment?

Asked by whom? The potential banee or by others? I've had Ban Me in my sig for 2 years now, hasn't worked yet.

Well, right now, the Kevorkian Mod is on. Goodbye! You are banned for 24 hours, just so you can see what it feels like. The only problem is, we might forget about you for a few months.

i think the ATOT community would be A LOT smaller than it would be... and people would go to other message boards.

I'm sorry but if you have to ask a mod to ban you from a forum to keep you from visiting then you have some serious mental control issues and you need psychiatric help. And yes I am absolutely serious about this post.

It's counter productive. And ******, they just don't have time to pay attention to the good members.

QFT

That and if every ban request were fulfilled there would be no ATOT. (Or there would be only 4 or 5 posters)

No self-control. Want to get something done, but procrastinate and go nef on ATOT.

NEVAR.

There has never ever been a single post along the lines of "LOL... I have a report due in 2 hours... and I haven't started!"

Weak... if some one has been taunting the happy fun ball, I mean, the mods at this site about their ban policy then they probably need a couple weeks or at least a week off.

Think about it ATOT mod, you can force this "mugs" geek into the sun and make him interact with other family members like never before because he simply can't post here, lol.

It's gonna kill mugs to actually see how a burger gets grilled before it's slid under his door, lol.

:beer:

That's a classic. If I had any money, other than belly button lint and a jar of pennies, I would send you on a real vacation. ;)
