Why? Some noob wrote the rule years ago and it's never been amended since? Lets not play this game Haz. Use your noodle.

Regardless of who wrote it, how long ago, it is in the rules, and unless/until they are changed, we must abide by them. CCexyDCapedCrusader was well aware of the two month minimum voluntary ban.

Useless 'feature'. It should not exist, in my opinion. I mean, seriously? The whole idea of a voluntary ban is completely ludicrous.
The way it does exist, warts and all, is clear.

Why the minimum time? If you need to cool off for a week or two, you can simply choose not to login or visit the forums. That isn't so hard, is it? In case it is, a voluntary ban will only do you good because you seem to be addicted to these forums.
Also like xDaku said - to prevent people from abusing this option.

The rules are inadequate.
Do you want me to go make a "talk to the mods" post. Is that really the line we are going to have to attest to now?
Haz. Use the common sense. C'mon. Stop flirting buddy. You have the power.

I concur. We know this. Doesn't make it any less stupid.

Don't be patronising old friend. You genuinely think this is smart? The rules are clear. Yes. They are outdated and stupid. Yes. How can you abuse something which is voluntary?
This is a ban, which you impact on yourself to give yourself time to cool down and contemplate whether you genuninely need to be playing it. CC has obviously made that decision a lot fast than the minimum time. What is the issue with unbanning his account?
It is self inflicted. Change the rules. Act upon this with common sense. Please do not give the trolls more ammunition over something so stupid.

So...CC was senseless enough to ask to be banned because he a) has no self-control or b) has no self-control. The admins explain to him, quite plainly, that the minimum time is 2 months. He accepts because a) he has no self-control or b) he has no self-control.
....and it's the mod's fault that he made a senseless decision?
The 2 months is there just for this, actually. To stop people without the capability to make firm decisions from abusing the system as their own personal rehabilitation center.
Now if they decide to lift up the ban then that's their call but that would be one of the most useless exemptions to a rule that I've seen in my time here.

FM - So why the need to impose a voluntary ban then after all? If someone knows that s/he might not want the minimum 2 months banned time, why not simply leave the forums until s/he clears his/her mind and feels fit to visit the forums again?
As you said, how can you abuse something which is voluntary? It was a voluntary decision made, with full consequences known by CC and with CC being given additional chances to change his/her mind. How can we abuse it by following through CC's decision?
Furthermore CC also hinted that the only reason s/he wanted back is to defend him-/herself against insults made by others - this usually means insulting back. I do not condone insults made by others against him/her, but I also do not condone to make a rule exception to help-aid insults being thrown back and forth.
CC - I just want to make clear that my uses of both genders in this post and any further post are a consequence of me not knowing of which gender are you, and thus until I know I will use both genders. If you have a problem with this - you are welcome to tell me whether you are a male or female and I will address you as such.

Him/he/his is gender neutral (except when the gender is known) and acceptable usage for an individual of unknown gender. However some people still get their panties in a wad over it. So if you wish to avoid offending the illiterate among us, they/them/their is also an appropriate gender neutral term for an individual of unknown gender.

ok enough of your nonsense. I wanted banned so the people using me as a excuse to start agruments as well as other issues in war threads to make it a nonsense thread would stop. HOWEVER people kept on abusing me and youse did nothing. aside from the fact that its obvious the user was making jokes about my sexuality is plain to see is mind boggling.
I didnt want unbanned to agrue i wanted to defend myself due to it being reported and IGNORED by admins and mods here for over 24 hours and i couldnt report it myself.
If I can insult peoples moms apparently and get warned then others should be warned.
and about your msgs about being given options yes i was i wasnt told it was minumum 2 months i said 6 months then i was said are you sure i said ok then make it shorter to 2 months
if people are thinking because I am banned i would not be told of people being abusive to me and yous didnt have to mod it well tough. I saw it. It was offensive. Other people saying about not knowing if Im male in not in this thread is not an issue.

Why is this rule in place?
Its actually fairly simple... A Ban is a punishment.
It is not "oh hey I have no self control so ban me for the lulz".
It is a PUNISHMENT.
Taking it just cause, severely lessens the PUNISHMENT.
You cannot go to jail, just cause.
The rule existed to maintain the PUNISHMENT's meaning. If you don't like it, don't opt to ban yourself and learn to have some self control like an adult.
You wanted to behave? Then do it. Stop **Filtered** about your ban and serve the rest of it out like you agreed to. Honor your commitment. Ignore anyone trolling you and let it the hell go. Otherwise, you have proven nothing aside from the fact you still cannot control yourself nor behave for your alliance's benefit.

It seems I must remind everyone that while input from other users is sometimes needed and accepted in threads within this section, a user requesting a ban removal is not one of those times.
Stay out of this thread from here on out and leave this to the Admins and CCexy.
Please and thank you.
