segrigation is never fair, even as a joke it's not nice if you are feeling low to think that people don't like you - official way is best p.m and mod/admin complaints - big brother is not always good, who moderates the moderators?
you're mistaken lads, lol i didn't mean who on here moderates the moderators, i meant as in big brother, where does it stop? as in who decides what's fine for a sin bin entry.....we are not a police state or led by a dictatorship is what i mean....if you get me? anyhooo what i mean is it's not a dig.
Rather than darking people why not take the more direct route and pm them to discuss any problems other forum users may have rather than hiding behind a sin bin button or the like. Also people will just register under a new name and continue to peeve other members off and may see a sin bin set up as more encouragement to continue those kind of behaviors that are upsetting other members. Also it is sometimes hard to hear the meaning behind whats been written on a forum and what one person deems their comment or comments as ok to post others may read it wrong to how the poster meant it to come across. This could also cause problems when members come face to face at VW events and cause major bad harmony between fellow VW owners. Applaud good behavior and ignore the bad. Works a treat with my kids.
You can ban people by IP address so that would stop them creating a new account. Its is a very good feature and works well when the admin select all the correct options :evil smiley As said though, where do you draw the line? it would become hard to police, although the temporary ban for a few hours works very well.....
we do try to sort problems out by pm or email first as we dont want to lose anyone! it is extremely rare that anyone is ever banned or muted, its mainly used for spammers. once the site becomes completely operational again it will run smoother and new members will know how it works. in the meantime, we the mods and admin are working our hardest to return tlb back to its former glory, however we cant possibly do this without every members assistance and cooperation. there will be arguments and problems, but thats human nature! lets just all be friends and have constructive discussions (nice arguments) and help each other with our vw related issues like what this site is meant for. peace and love to all-Dog
