    well i've seen it on other forums,

    a sub forum or normal forum where a new post comes when someone gets a suspension or ban.
    with a form like this:

    name:
    suspend or banned
    Time:
    Reason:

    this way you keep nagging members out :P so its good for the staff.. nica said in a other topic staff has nothing too hide about the banning & reasons, so why wont this be a good idea? huh :P

    Reason 1 : Needless extra work for staff.

    Reason 2 : It's not the publics business who was banned and for what reasons, if it's really important and people ask then we tend to reveal it.

    As it stands, there really is no point...at all, in implementing this.

    dont see why it has to keep a secret from us.. nica said it shouldnt be a problem, its not needless extra work, i would see an improvement for the forum..
    if i see a forumfriend banned, iwould like too know why, and this is a good way too find out, you can make it an extra feature for premium/donator/platinium if you dont want too make it too public, and it would be good as the paid subscribtions already dont have much too offer except a bigger inbox, as meantioned alot

    I'm not suggesting it has to be kept a secret, it IS needless extra work.
    To format every ban and deal with queries and disputes for every ban is not necessary. I don't honestly believe enough people care, and it is possible to ask specifically if your friend is banned.

    well i thought there's a mod for it, as far is i know that uploading a few files , and maybe editing some, dont see that as too much extra work though, and you'll do some extra members joy, it doesnt have too be for everyone, and over the time ppl see hey but this is pretty handy and they'll like it or dislike it..

    for example if someone sells something and the buyer made a offer send the credits well and then the seller gets suspended for like 10 days or so.. the buyer gets all worried o noez werez ma credits,, he makes a thread in ripping and scamming, and you'll have too find out all the stuff.. while with that mod, ppl can look oh he's suspended darn now i have too wait 10 days a well atleast i dont have to make a scene out of it..

    get it? :P

    I'm not really too fussed about what we do. We already have a staff viewable forum for all banned reasons etc, but as Gmods can ssee a ban log, it's no longer used by many.
    Easiest thing would be to make that forum public, but i'm not convinced people need to know, other than to be nosey :P
    If a banning/.suspention directly effects someone then we'll inform them etc.

    When someone gets banned they know why they got banned for.

    i just dont see it happening. when suspending/banning a member the staff sends an email to the person being affected. if you have a friend then you can ask them yourself.

    I got suspended once for calling someone by the forum name, and I didn't realize that until the suspension was over :X

    People won't look or read it, they'll continue to post in the Scam section anyway. The majority of the posts you talk about are posted hours after the transaction was supposedly supposed to occur. The reasons we ban people are nearly public domain as is, we do not need a mod to do this. Anyone with the popularity to cause a fuss when banned already causes public outcry and where we will disclose the reasons behind us taking actions.
    Now as for suspensions, the longest suspensions are usually two weeks. The reasons behind them are known in their warning level and the PM's we send them upon suspending them.
    What you're asking for is redundant and unnecessary work.

    In the future if you're going to make a suggestion can you possibly make use of comprehensible English. I'd rather not spend so much time deciphering what you're trying to say. Thanks!
