PPR'd members

nobodyspecial

Just for interest, if you are PPR'd does MSE drop you from membership, or are you still counted as a loyal member?

Loyal member of what?

These are discussion forums, not some sort of society or club?

If people are PPR'd because they break the rules and/or disrupt the forums, then I don't think it really matters what happens to them as long as they aren't doing it any more.

OK, I was peed off with something on MSE and went along the "they can do what they like, you can't distance yourself from the site" route I would still like the option of "removing myself" ( numberwise, anywise) from the site but accept this is not possible. Not that I want to remove myself at the moment, I would just like the option

This is how it stands at present.....

I'd take no notice of such suggestions nobodyspecial; no one enjoys such immunity although the cliquey factions around confer such on their friends, it simply doesn't work that way. Thankfully the team only seem to consider whether a rule is broken, no more, no less, by the looks of it.

If I was banned i'd be offended if I was still on MSE's books so to speak. It's the one thing I hate about forums- you can't escape them as most forums don't allow account deletions .

Some large forums (one in particular) do keep their banned members on the members list.

They are also renowned for banning large numbers of members at the drop of a hat.

The cynic in me tells me that they do this to encourage re registration to boost their ever increasing membership numbers.
