	The Scarlet Letter Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Being the cruel vindictive judgmental fiend that I am, I really get a kick of the "banned" showing up in the post count field for our miscreant siblings.
And...
I got to thinking (and salivating) about the other forum humiliations that could be heaped upon them. Among the mildest was to make the "banned", well, scarlet. They I really got flying into fantasy. To conceal my depravity in the area of PUNISHMENT, I think I will keep these to myself for a little while, but, I was wonder what the other rabid or twisted disciplinarians around here would like to see as a badge of dishonor/rebellious pride attached to the virtual image of our guide line violating brethren, particularly the tasteless ones.

Mrs. Scaevola cut you off or something Lefty?

Well, after campaigning so hard to get the spell-checker, and then secretly realising that it wasn't as useful as he thought, Lefty probably needed to justify to himself the effort, by getting some use out of it.
What better way than a thread where he can use lots of long words all in a row?

Actually, that is my normal conversational style; I typically use a shorter and simpler style when posting, for economy of keystrokes. Above is what I "sound" like every day to my friends and family.

What about an archive of shame, where posts that were so heinous that they were the cause of ban, are moved and stored, with moderator commentary added, to serve as examples to our wild brethren of what is right out. Official histories of infamous mass banning could also be placed there. We could erect a veritable virtual museum of posting horrors to chill the souls of the righteous and mild mannered, and deter the chaotic impulses of the wicked.

Sounds like a good idea. More clarity in what is allowed/not allowed, and it would be great entertainment

I think that what is not allowed can be easily thought of using common sense, but it would be entertaining yes...

It's yet another silly idea. Some youths are bound to test the limits. They want to how bad can they get before a permanent ban zaps them...

Some of us just can't help it... I've got banned twice...the first time was because someone took over my account/walked up to my computer and spammed something all over the place, the second time was because I got carried away in the coffeeshop, the third time was because I messed up masking my DL IP

What about having the avatar changed, during the period of the ban, to a fat "BANNED"...

How about a more '1984' punishment: Remove all references to the poster and deny that they ever exhisted. When the period of the ban ends replace these references and deny that they were ever banned and then ban anyone who argues

Alpha Cenaturi On-Line.

The amount of actual SMAC activity that goes on there is, well, not of amazing magnitude.

Basically, it's a forum full of nasty, cynical posters who drive each other towards insanity by making short, inconsequential posts in the best Spam tradition. I enjoy it, occasionally.

I suppose you'd fit right in, but it's probably above your level.

If that could be done, I would laugh and laugh so much
Try it at NewsMax, and watch as a thousand deadly serious threads arrive, claiming that it signals a new breach of human rights, and humanity will actually descend into a 1984-type state

banned in post count field?

there is no banned in my post count field. I want a banned in my post count field.

I was illegally docked 1500 post counts from my post count by an out of control moderator. People should know I'm really an emporer not a King . There should be some notation showing that is not my actual post count. I was a bad boy for admitting to my double logins. I should have just kept them. Then I could use them with giancarlo and civnation . I could make those guys look normal.

Just coz you have 'fessed up doesn't mean you can escape punishment. You'd get a lighter sentence though.
