Do not ban for current offsite activities...

So the ban is to protect members from known scammers? That seems reasonable.

 

Exactly. Known scammers can always do it again, so they shouldn't even be given that chance. Obviously that there could be some exceptions (plznate case, although he didn't scam it's a good example), but in most cases a permanent ban should be given.

 

Nate's ban has nothing to do with this topic at all. Its a completely different issue.

 

I didn't explain myself well, sorry :embar: . I meant that Nate's ban was an exception to the rule, and that's what could happen in certain special cases, related with offsite activities.

 

Theres always exceptions to the rules. But we don't need to deal with those as there are already rules in place that allow exceptions.

 

I believe people should not be banned for offsite actions. Some people might want to start fresh and do some legit business and then come to Sythe only to be banned. Although, I wouldn't want someone on my site that has gotten into legal disputes for various privacy reasons on other sites. I think it all comes down to the severity of the case.

 

Your talking about past offenses. This thread is about current offenses.

 

Sorry. Completely read this wrong.

 

Just read the first post. I tried to explain it well.

 

Yeah, I will now. Sorry about that.

 

Its fine. The present and past are two distinct issues and I tried to discuss them all in the same thread and it was horribly confusing so I decided to split them and I've tried to keep people staying on topic and not venturing into the other as much as possible so that everyone understands whats being said.

 

I think scamming should be the only real offense that should be taken into account when considering off-site actions. When I was a global, I've gotten a number of PMs from moderators and administrators of other sites who have tracked down known scammers to sythe. I've banned those scammers and believed it was entirely justified. Of all the off-site activities that occur, scamming is most likely to happen here, even among well known members. Phishing, keylogging, etc is a lot less likely to happen here among those same members and shouldn't affect anything here.

 

I agree that scamming should really be the only bannable offense, as long as it can be proven. No matter what policy is used there should be an exception for scamming saying that if you scam while you are a member on Sythe you will be banned.

 

In real life , if you have outstanding criminal convictions - your not allowed into the country. Same with sythe I think ( Without the IRL criminal convictions.

So I only think the user should be banned if they are KNOWN on the other forums FOR HACKING/PHISHING etc.

But if they are simply enquiring about it , and having not done it on this site they shouldn't be banned

 

Im only new to this site, but I think if your banned on another site for scamming, hacking or somthing like that then I can't see why they shouln't be banned as if they do it once there most probably going to do it again.

 

I don't think that you should be banned on here if you've done nothing wrong on another site. This all comes from the Cambo ban which I believe is redic, because if Cambo did do anything wrong on here he would be banned justly.

 

I think members shouldn't be banned for offsite activity period. If it does not involve the users account on Sythe, it shouldn't involve them period.

For example, let's say I had a hackforums account (I don't, but for the hell of it, bear with me) and I get banned there for trolling. Should I get banned here if someone found out my Sythe username? No. That wouldn't be fair. But if it was phishing / scamming another member from Sythe, then that could warrant a ban.

 

You just contradicted your self there.
There needs to be ample evidence for someone to be banned on this forum for off site activity...than a ban may be worth giving.

ONLY if the evidence is 100% no questions accurate.

 

As long as it isent scamming no!

 

So basically what I said in the first post? And your analogy deals with past offences not current ones.

Thats what I'm suggesting.

Explain?

So basically you want to not ban anyone for offsite stuff unless it strays into Sythe's business?

No what?
