Miotas?

[Aemilius Paulus]

What happened to him? I know he got well, you-know-what, mods, and then got banned. Following that, he sent me a PM informing he was rightfully banned for his inappropriate behaviour as reflected in some Backroom thread.

He is not on the One-Week or Perma-ban list. But the two-day ban expired, the one which forbids access to his profile. Now he still has the "-" instead of his UserTitle and "Member", but at the same time his profile is open for visit. Stranger still, one cannot VM him. That is what happens to perma-banned people, save for the "-".

May any mod please care to explain? Or is this information not public, in which case, forget all I said - what is private, should be private.

I think he got a bit drunk and made some stupid posts.

I've no idea what's going on when it comes to viewing profiles. From what I remember, I never used to be able to access someone's used page whenever they were banned. But now with Miotas, as well as Vuk and MasterPhantom (guy that was recently instaggibed), I can view their profiles, but they appear as a guest and still have the "-" where it should say "member".

I've only noticed this since the site recovered from the recent crashes, maybe that has something to do with it?

*facepalm* I know that! Read my previous post carefully! I was trying to protect miotas' prestige/image.

Vuk put in "-" as his user title, but he still has the "Member" below it. Anyone can do that. Banned people have "-" instead of both the UserTitle and the rank ("member"). Thus, my name would look like this if I was banned:
Aemilius Paulus.....instead of what Vuk has:.......Aemilius Paulus
....... - ..................................................-
...........................................................Member



Hmm, odd, I just checked miotas, and as you said, he is not like Vuk... Before, he used to have that one dash, but now he has a dash andinstead of the UserTitle the rank, e.g. "Member".

I'd like to propose a total moratorium on these "why did x get banned?" or "please unban y" threads.

Better yet, make warnings and bans a completely private matter. The rules are posted and clear. Staff has accepted the responsibility of enforcement. Public threads invite pointless unnecessary drama, as we have seen. It's not like such discussions will (or should) have any effect on a decision that has been made. This would effectively eliminate the tactic of trying to influence patrons against the administration by creating a spectacle here in the Tower.

If I'm not mistaken, the intent of the OP is not to question or complain about miotas' enforced vacation, but a query about the effects on his profile and account. With the recent reboot of the boards, there may be some banhammer aspects that are different than they were before, so I can see this as a valid query.

Of course, that will not stop this thread from turning into a mod witchhunt and spamfest...
