To help the moderators out and to reduce workload I might have to do I am implimenting a "Jail" system.
Almost all hte mods don't have access to ban users, only admins with that certain access can do it. So its a bit of a pain.
So this system will make it easier for mods to hand out temporary bans, meaning you can set a ban to a certain amount of time.
Also there will be a 2nd level to the system that will let the forums moderate themselfs. A person banned or in jail can get enough bail votes from other user to get out of jail... if he can post bail that is... hehe
The bail voting and listing of whois banned and who has been banned in the past is all in a page called the "Courthouse". All these links will soon be available under the new "RCMP" drop down menu at the top of the forums.
I will post when the system comes online, but you may leave comments and suggestions now.
I nominate Lily to test the "jail" part and myself to test the "bail" part.
Don't worry Lily, I'll spring you as soon as I take care of my student loans!
well funy you mention that, you can use "points" to pay for bail, could work with that somehow.
Also when a user is in jail there avatar on all there posts will look like its behind bars!
I put myself in jail, lol. see the jail bars on my avatar.
goto the courthouse:

I judged him innocent.
Lily I'm shocked at you!
you people are nasty
well i set the bail really low, 3 votes, im free suckers!!!! whahaha
well never really was in gail, my admin powers override it
I think this is a great idea. Lets go find Avro and try it out.........
How do I toss someone behind bars?
hey trev, your avatar is all messed up. its a few to many pixels above bars. :p
I don't know if this is related but suddenly the pages aren't displaying properly.
I get some posts and pages elongated for no reason.
Is it just something I did?
hmm IE or firefox? looks fine here
Netscape and moxilla but I just recently bought a song from puretracks and cannot get the license to play/cross.
Ever since I used the windows firewall I have been having problems even when I disable it and can't figure out why. It hasn't affected my posting here until now. It isn't to bad but it makes certain pages scroll down longer for no reason. Trying to rectify..........
