Been banned twice now. First time it was off topic (not rude nor offensive), second was for telling someone to flower off because he was abusing me.
I'm tired of this being at the discretion of the site owner depending on what he feels like doing at the time. There needs to be rules, written down that clearly state what is and isnt allowed.
Now I understand Monty that keeping the blog going and watching multiple games at once can be difficult but you need to put something in place. This topic is for serious suggestions on how this can be improved for next year or even the remainder of this year.
1. I think only people who make x number of posts and contribute to the forum should be able to use the chat, otherwise you get any old clown writing abuse and trolling the chat.
2. Things to monitor more closely - Captain "jokes" - not funny, seriously.
3. The person who instigates abuse should be banned, not the retorter.
4. Anyone posting PNG figures in the chat.
5. If you get banned, you get a quote of what you said that was unacceptable for the chat.
Captain jokes and png predicitions do not add to the chat Monty, it makes it annoying. I think the first point is a must have. There needs to rules written down accessible by a link on the chat page to justify someone's ban.
There, I've been pro-active. Any other suggestions?
Numberwang, I've just been done too.
I understand all your points, especially when you know what you've done wrong and others are operating in the same or worse vain?
No democracy it feels or it could be paranoia? I'm happy in a way you've been done because now I can see it's not personal.
People were asking about you in the Freo game before I got booted off.
Posted in "Banned from live chat? and don't know why?" topic too.
Suck it up I suppose and ...
Stay Premium ;)
If people report what they think they did, we could start a "Stay premium in livechat" thread, with a list of things not to do. One of them would be to not respond to abuse!
No swearing
No racist remarks
No insulting other posters
No bogus injury information
Do not ignore the football game
Stay on topic - talk (Fantasy) Football
Do not abuse others, or respond to the abuse of others
Do not ask for, or post livestream information
Do not abuse m0nty
Do not swear
I will address this after the game. I agree there needs to be some extra work done in this area.

So important that you have to put it in twice, good work! Agree witht hdi list though, it is the responsibility of all us serious Fantasy Footballers who actually want to contribute to the conversation to shut out all Thai bogus, and I think that the not responding to abuse one is very crucial.
So good I did it twice - an old (bad) habit. Oh well!
Also this ...
No insulting other posters
Do not abuse others
how bout soemthing like...
do not try and get the posters back onto the footy... its montys job.. ooops sorry.. m0nty

As per my post on rules of engagement, i think there are better quantifiable rules that could be implemented. i think if you've contributed over 150 posts to fan footy, you can enter for example. that would stop a lot of problems. those who know each other in the forums don't abuse one another - its mainly the trolls who pop in and dont contribute that cause problems. so shut them out.
Good to hear m0nty acknowledges there's a problem here.
There are still many who haven't even done 100 posts. Gonna really limit the number of people allowed in chat if you put a post tally for them.
Plus they may have different fanfooty accounts compared to forum account (names).
First, I'll address the specific points made by numberwang and others.
Captain jokes: sure, they're annoying, but I don't think they are banworthy. I don't quite get the seething hatred of them by some chatters, to be honest. Captain jokes are dumb but not offensive. Maybe it's just that I blank them out because I see them often enough that I've developed an immunity. Operationally, I have so much to do during games that if I handed out bans for everyone who made a captain joke, I'd need five hands and three heads. Further feedback on this point is encouraged, though.
The person who instigates abuse is banned, numberwang. That doesn't excuse you retaliating with further abuse. I look at the log in such cases and identify both parties.
Posting PNG figures in the chat has dropped off a lot since I moved it to separate page, I don't see this as a problem.
As for getting a quote of unacceptable behaviour when you get banned... hmm. My first thought is that you usually remember the last thing you said on chat when you get banned as you only said it mere minutes ago, so why do you need it to be quoted back at you? I can see an argument that I should nominate which specific rule you broke, but again that should be pretty bloody obvious, because I don't ban people for nothing. I do need to update the list of bannable offences that comes up when you get banned though, that much is true.
On restricting chat access to those who have made X forum posts, that's not going to happen. Apart from anything else, the chat account and forum account are two separate accounts so it would be very difficult to police. Also, there are currently only 129 posters who have made 200+ posts, and another 104 with 100-199, so if that was the restriction it would be a pretty damn boring chat. I don't want to do that anyway, because I like the fact that anyone can create an account and 24 hours later start chatting. I could certainly see creating a Coaches-only (or whatever post level is appropriate) chat though, that's on the to do list. That would have to be moderated by the Coaches themselves though, the problem with it is that I don't want another chat window open during games because I have too much to do as it is.
Further thoughts in a little while.
m0nty just called all us 100+ posted boring :(
but seriously, I gotta say I agree with m0nty.
I don't even use it anymore, usually just have m0nty's blog scrolling along.
I agree ossie85, I think I'll use that from now on.
Too many clowns in the chat.
I can see both sides of it, it would be nice to know why you were banned. But really you should have an idea anyway.

Yep, same. It's a lot better.
im mostly on my ipod so i got on the mobile part... so i get the blog anyway... but sometimes in the chat there are some interesting news that isnt fake but is true... and sometimes is quite funny..
sure you have an idea but the problem is there a lot of double standards going on sometimes.
ive seen countless people abusing others and not get banned.
so when the screen pops up saying you are, you do sit back and say to yourself "hang on a tick, what was it that i said that warranted a ban compared to those folk".

I would say in the vast majority of those cases I have also banned the other parties as well, as I did with whoever it was you were fighting with.
Sometimes I do miss things, that is true. But that's what logs are for.
My one question relates to unbanning people? Does it happen and what is the process as the feedback I've heard is that the email request can fall on deaf ears?
Now before I say this, I'm not putting my hand up.
What about the idea of Chat moderators? There are plenty of guys out there who are on the chat for most games and I'm sure it would help you m0nty, and other people like Numberwang who are angry that the other offender doesn't get banned.

Maybe some reviewers could look at the chat log after a game, and make recommendations to m0nty - who is, of course, the final decision maker.
Thats sounds alright. Will take the load off m0nty while them not having complete power on who gets banned and what's ban worthy.
They will be the umps and m0nty the MRP :-X.
That's a good way to put it HP.
how about
discuss the game at hand -------------- footy ----------------------------

I'm not angry, I think it just needs to be addressed.
Prospector, that's quite an arduous task to do after every game. Need some pretty committed people. I agree CFC, but sometimes a game will become a bit boring and then that's usually when the chaos begins.
Besides when you go to the footy with mates, you don't just talk about the game on - do you? And some people on FF contribute often enough they develop online 'mates' and will chat about the odd thing.
My two pet hates in live chat are:
1. people talking about other sports i.e. the wold cup "who is going to win the golden boot chat" did my head in. I know some of them got temp bans but seriously who would come to an AFL chat site during an AFL game and talk about soccer?
2. People who give away scores or who is winning/losing of games on at the same time.

I think chat moderators will be too much responsibility for m0nty to be happy with atm. Rightly so - livechat is a key piece of the site, with many many members.
Checking chatlogs would indeed be arduous. I won't be putting my hand up ... However, doing it live must be equally arduous. m0nty has said he checks the logs when he considers a ban. Remember also that he live edits the blogs to remove livestream links and other things too.
If anyone is serious about helping to ensure an even handed treatment of inappropriate behaviour on live chat, I think they could offer to do a game each week and bring any concerns they find in the log to m0nty's attention.
For some reason I'm addicted to the chat. Alot of bickering and rubbish but funny stuff too, always end up back there(although I can't post because of my ban).
I only watch the blog because I like to know whats happening in the game. If I am watching the game on TV then I will only check the scores at quarter time, half time, 3 quarter time and full time - I cant be distracted from watching the game :)
Tonight it seems in the Nth Melb v Bombers game there are no rules.
Yep, gave it away as a bad joke.
It is amazing how much trash is out there. Seriously.
Now they are ruining the other game >:(
I wonder what the boffins at NAB and other sponsors are thinking.
The chat wasn't great last night, was it? :-[
My main concern with making the chat infrastructure more complicated is that it should not pollute the main chat with lobbying to have this or that poster unbanned, or doging about this or that mod. I have seen that happen that way at other sites. People dog about me, that's unavoidable, and I don't ban people doing that unless they're being particularly obnoxious and/or going on about it too long. I wouldn't like to see a string of chat lines about how Pros or whoever are flogs who ban too quickly, etc etc.
Last night underlined a few things for me. First, it validated my "no prisoners" approach, because if you don't ban people then that's what happens. It only takes one bad egg, and TrevorC (who was also Goodisgod btw) was that rotten egg. Second, it told me that if for whatever reason I am not in the chat, then there does need to be a mechanism for someone else to be empowered to ban. I will look into this during the week. At this stage I'd like that power to be restricted to Pros, because he's got a proven track record. I realise I may be loading too many things on him, but I intend for him only to have this power when I know I'm not going to be there, which is only a handful of times per year.
As for numberwang's point about mates at the footy talking about things other than footy, that's all very well, but you're not with mates at the footy, are you? The Internet is a broadcast medium, and you're broadcasting your private conversation to the 75,000 people who come to FF every weekend. I think I'm well within my rights to not want the FF chat to descend into a half dozen IM chats going on simultaneously about things other than footy. You're there to talk footy.
I agree about someone else taking over the reigns m0nty, and Pros would be great at doing it also - also good to have as a few as people as possible to be in responsibility roles. I've seen many forums where there are too many cooks.
Hellopplz also a great candidate I'd think, and although I kind of don't really want to sort through the trash and the resulting abuse, I would also put my hand up if needed.
Silent moderators.
We don't need to know who they are and then they will not be targeted in chat because of anonymity.
Good point McRooster.
They should be silent moderators and not be named, but should be noted that there are silent moderates analysing the chat. That itself would make the chat better.
8 games - 8 silent Mods
shares the load
Correct with silent mods & the best way to do that with silent mods is that no one knows who they are.
If a silent mod breaks this trust then it's m0ntys call weather to remove his privaleges in that capacity.
Anyway of that point can't for the life of me log on to chat?
lol TrevorC(or whatever he is calling himself these days) needs to get out of the house a bit more!
Quote from: CFC 1979 on July 27, 2010, 06:29:42 AM
8 games - 8 silent Mods

There are only ever two games on at the same time, so two mods are all that is required, if that.
They would most likely only be used in case of emergencies anyway, so I wouldn't want people to think there are silent mods on at all times.
I reckon CFC was pointing to the fact that, although there is only 2 games on at any one time, I doubt all moderators are willing to be on hold for the whole weekend. If you give each silent mod a specific timeslot....
But yes m0nty, if the 'emergency' can be seen in advance, there is no need for it.
A good discussion, refreshingly well thought out with good contributions from all.
Perhaps whilst we are at it we could use ths forum to decide some of the more important issues for Julia & Tony! God knows their respective decision making processes show limitations at the moment.
Perhaps they already have silent moderators? They don't seem to say much
I swear a vote for one is the same for the other; the is no difference between the two but workchoices. Would be nice if there was a second choice. I'd vote Greens but their prefs are going to Labour.

Is that even possible?!
The chat would be in even more chaos!!!

im not justifying that comment
is it possible the user it is directed at is a serial abuser?
the abuse directed at m0nty makes wanna :-X
That was not me. It is being looked into.
monty could i please have an explanation as to why i was banned? cheers Thesemen

Put this in Feedback and be very graciuos kimosabe ;)
A lot of people get banned from FF chat. Beats me why. I know of a few that did nothing but merely give another FF member some friendly banter. Kinda sucks. Are there any official rules set in place for chat? I know you should be curtious to other FF members, but it's footy FFS we all talk shower about each others teams. Give them a break. Why do you think the game lives on? Take away their freedom to express themselves and you take away the glory of what it is to be rivals and the passion.
PS. This is not a bias opinion as I have never been banned
I've never understood why people use the chat. It is not like there is any semblance of conversation occurring. It just seems like a bunch of people posting a bunch of random statements that every now and is either stupid, offensive or very occasionally is actually related to the game.
if you want to stay unbanned, stay premium!
I don't bother with chat.

Be sure to email m0nty briefly explaining your gripe and possible understanding of your misdemeanour (be honest) and will endeavour to avoid such behaviour in future.

Depends. Most likely he is accessing the net from home. Switching from a PC to say a laptop that is using the same internet connection will not appear any different to the outside world. Use a different internet connection and it will appear different. As good as FF is, I doubt anyone is going to sign up for a new connection just to access it.

Oops just got banned from Livechat. Someone said Nibbles, the name of a hampster from the Simpsons and i said "quick chew thru my ba.l.lsack" which is what Principal Skinner says to the hampster so he can get out of the sack he is tied up in, a classic Simpsons episode. Not a part of the male anatomy but a sack that holds b.a.l.ls. lol . I know it wasnt about the footy but there was no warning no nothing just banned. The stuff that was being said on there afterwards was worse in my opinion so a tadd bit harsh i thought. So let this be a lesson/warning for those who think their just joking around with other people beware you may get banned. Keep it strictly about footy trust me. :-X

@ Korza i can have any name i like this site is also not a music site so get rid of your picture for a footy picture. Yes it does refer to poker when you get the community cards its known as the flop this is also my poker screen name you cleary have no idea what you are talking about. Yes i did quote the Simpsons if he has a look at what was said he will notice that someone posted nibbles and i responded i must be pretty smart to come up with that if im making it up lol. As a result of not talking about the footy i have been banned. If he doesnt want me on live chat thats his perogative. I dont take kindly to idiots like you making trouble for me. I would like to get back on Livechat if m0nty will be kind enough to give me another shot, but its not the end of the world if i dont. You should be banned for stirring up trouble and lying >:(

So when i get onto your site i have to put up with this abuse do i. I might add you set me up for that not very nice at all.

Cookie Monster 07:42:23 PM Viewing the topic Getting banned from livechat. - possibly a cheap downgrade for you RB ;)
m0nty does the software allow the live chat and blog to appear simultaneous on screen? then people could add more footy orientated descriptive to the commentary flow. Your blog commentary is excellent but due to time restrictions it can only ever describe the major plays, what if we were able to add the 1%ers? - this would slow the drivel by bringing more focus on footy at hand topic and also allow for stronger moderation.
Essentially what I mean is that if more people were to see your commentary then they would gain a greater perspective of what live chat should be about, the footy.
I can't do a play by play commentary on the blog, I have too many other things to do. Currently you have to choose either the blog or the chat, and I don't see anything wrong with that.

He was on my upgrade list, that's for sure ;)
I think that descriptions for the scoring shots is more than enough for in the blog, but I must admit at times I have looked on chat (quite optimistically!) in the hope of finding someone who was describing each play etc etc but all you get is people calling players duds judged on their DT score, or claiming that Judd had been subbed off halfway through the first quarter because he was playing poorly ::)

no protection, no turn up.

Deleted those posts fast m0nty!
No protection, no turn up. FU!
shower, he remove the post again already - powermania!
m0nty - public apology re: removed posts and powermania.
I misread the order of things , as with at first, no account, and then with a new account, my preference for "most recent first" disappeared. That meant my new posts were last, and so not seen.
I am annoyed to be banned while trying to expose trolls,- as trolls, and as liars, and as no good at the game.
I had that barbie dead to rights - I hope someone checks the team name he gave. I'm better than him, blue name or no - and I think it would've helped (me mostly) if everyone knew it. I will kill his fantasy life now I owe no-one nothing!
All the best mate, I'm sure you thought you did the best thing. I just didn't agree!
Pros, no problem, I knew you'd figure it out.
The reason I banned you on chat was that you went on and on talking to the trolls, to the point where it was disrupting the chat. There comes a point whereby a person arguing with a troll is as much trouble as the troll. It wasn't your responsibility to deal with them, blue name or no. Being the better man means not giving him oxygen.
Like I said, sleep on it.
All OK, no hard feelings ... except you hit me just as I had the flowerer beat!
PS. No sleep 'til Brixton! Or bedtime (thanks to Weird Al), or ... Brooklyn!

Hey guys - I've been banned for the chat and have no idea what it was that I said. I think there must have been a mistake. I was talking to RB about our game this week in Dream Factory and I've been banned? What gives seriously.
Peculiar!
I'm starting to think the same thing, I haven't seen the 'you have been banned for X amount of time' as I did when I was banned last year, but I'd say I've left 10 comments and not 1 has shown. Put it down to an overload of traffic at first but it seems like a lot of attempts that have failed.
Guys a lot of people seem to be having posting at the moment. I can tell you I haven't been banning you so not sure what is going on sorry

And it's not me banning you either... :-\
It wanst me either as I was playing footy - which we won and I kicked a goal as well :)
Looking at the ban list I cant see you there either Wes
connection problems then?
I reckon ...
Yeah I got logged out but then logged back in and it worked. Don't know what happened.
Yep a similar thing happened to me yesterday, I had to log out and then log back in again and it was all fine. Strange though...
happened to me too i was clicking 'back page' then clicking enter again and then it was posting the comment ;)
what is it with fan footy saying you ARE Banned but then you log out and log back in and you are ok to chat again ? It has done it to me twice last weekend and now twice this weekend.
Annoying but can easily work around it
Just wondering what I did coz I wasn't banned last week and I haven't said anything on the chat this week but then when I tried tonight it said I'm banned ???
I have been banned from game chat but i have no idea what i said!
So can a moderator please let me know what i said and what was wrong with it and if it was an accidental banning please unban me and no hard feelings :)

Yeah I think it was an error because this morning I tried and it seemed to work fine :)
I've been banned since last Sunday. I think it was for talking off topic (still talking football just not at the right game) I've sent two emails kindly requesting re-instatement and nothing has happened nor has there been any reply
I'd rather be re-instated than have to log in under new details (which lots of serial offenders seem to do)
I've got the same prob BOOMZ >:(
I have had issues loggin on and getting the game chat and scores up. Just tried to enter a comment to see if it worked and got the banned message. " undefined " is all i get
Done nothing wrong :o
It's been like this for 4 weeks. Starting to piss me off. All i want is access to the scores.
Oh well there are other sites to get scores from
can u get into match stats CFC?
when it clogs up likes this i cannot get anything
it has freed up tonight though
Did I get banned?
Here we go again. Didn't bother logging in so i could see the scores.
Just by chance i wanted to have a crack at PNG, logged in and bang UNDEFINED
Went to write something for chat and ...............
You have been banned from the FanFooty game chat.
FanFooty will ban you if you abuse the chat by swearing, making racist remarks, insulting other posters, posting bogus injury information, or ignoring the football game.
These rules are in place to ensure a friendly, football-focused chat environment. If you can't handle that, that is your problem.
If you think you can abide by these rules and you want to get reinstated, please email m0nty@fanfooty.com.au.
Now can't get anything. Logged out and stil lthe same logged back in still the same
I have e-mailed my issue and posted it here. I have done nothing to get banned.Sick to death of this s.h.i.t..... off to Dream-Stats
monty doesn't listen to emails often. Try ringing him.
not even joking :P
Getting out of hand. Speak up big man!
Last 2 week I was banned and didn't know why. Today saw the game "St Kilda v Collingwood" chat and someone mentioned chat rule at bottom of chat (LOL I'm on the "live-scores" few times /week and didn't notice it there the whole time) and I go through it...OMG I find out some mod banned me because of this rule "This rule covers things like posting upside-down text" Doh! It's my team name ©(ºöº)© and that's auto ban? This is crazy!!!
What do you guys think?
BTW my team (4th) vs Daniel Harford (1st) this week. Confident will smash him :)
I like the name :P.
I think alot of problems have been had with the BANHAMMER (Ban list but this has a better ring to it) as many are getting the banned page when they haven't been banned. I'm guessing a glitch but may be wrong. Try logging in and out/New page log in.
If these don't work, guess PM a chat mod on here (Valkorum, Crowsfan or C4v3m4n) and ask them if you got banned. M0nty hasn't been around for a while so they are the closest I can find to helping you out (But still PM m0nty incase he responds before them :)).
From tonight's game ..... LnchPdMcQk: i hope riewoldt gets mouth cancer
If that is not banworthy I don't know what is >:(
I have tried for two seasons to help raise the awareness of this evil disease through the championing of various causes like Call To Arms (http://www.calltoarms.com.au/) + Footy Colours Day (http://www.footycoloursday.com.au/) + Movember (http://au.movember.com/about/) + Light The Night (http://www.lightthenight.org.au/) and The EJ Whitten Foundation (http://www.legendsgame.com.au/ej-whitten/ej-whitten.php)
I view this post from live chat with the highest of contempt. This person has never had to endure the pain of hearing a 5yr old child say 'Why does it hurt so much Daddy?' when their kid is receiving chemotherapy, why would anyone wish that level of pain on anyone is disgusting and without thought for the true spirit of our game and our chat/forum's banter.
There is no retort from this person that I could find acceptable, ever. Ban them. >:(
I feel your pain McRooster. My footy club supports the Call To Arms cause every year as we lost a long serving player to cancer.
Im with you all the way Rooster, lost to many loved ones to this awful disease. Why anyone would want to throw that out there is beyond me, says alot about the character of a person imo. The sooner we have a break through in this area cant be soon enough.
Hats off to you for all your efforts well done.

I apologise if that upset anyone. I agree it was in poor taste.
I don't usually use chat very much but if there was a chatlog of what I have said, I am sure you would see that one comment was quite out character.
I thought some people might recognise it from an episode of "The League" where one of the coaches of a fantasy team was having a bit of a whinge about a player that cost them a win.
I do know how it feels to lose family to various forms of cancer and I have also seen the horrific consequences of the disease. I would not truly wish this upon anyone.
I have nothing but respect for those undertaking work to prevent and cure any cancers as well as those providing support for the various charities which aid in this.

I don't expect to be unbanned anytime soon, but it doesn't bother me too much either way.
I just thought it was a little strange that no one seemed upset by what I said in chat and that I was not banned until McRooster posted on the forum. McRooster said nothing in chat during that game. Moreover, a couple of weeks ago McRooster insulted me for something which I thought was fairly benign.
It is not uncommon for someone in chat to say they want this player to die or they want to kill that player. I don't recall anyone being banned for such a comment.

Anyway, as I said, I am sorry to whomever I offended. I just feel you have to be able to laugh about stuff like that, otherwise the subject becomes overly depressing.

Moreover, a couple of weeks ago McRooster insulted me for something which I thought was fairly benign.
1. valkorum is one moderator, not me. He is a man of transparent maturity and somebody that has also been saddened by this horrific disease and it is perhaps the fact that after reading back the chat log (as the mods do) that he or the mods decided to swing the banhammer. No-one may have been upset by the comment during chat because as you well know, the pace of it sometimes means that a message can get through quickly without being noticed by the poster or the chat group - often resulting in a re-post by the user it originated from because they themeslves missed it. Or perhaps that the silence about it actually said more than you'd considered, sometimes it's better not to respond to that sort of thing because it may just end up perpetuating it.
2. Given the context of what I said a couple of weeks ago (which I'm not overly proud of and extremely embarrassed about) had you considered that I myself had been banned, the rules do apply to everyone. The benign reference has not helped win me over but I can genuinely see that you are remoresful for what you perceive as acceptable. I hope that you can forgive my temporary faux pas and be trusting in that it won't happen again.

Agreed. Often when I have visited an Oncology ward I have found that laughter is the best medicine. Laughing
at the disease is a powerful tool in recovery and laughing
with those also helps bring a smile to many a dreary day.
I would like to recind on my earlier call to not find any retort acceptable.Your voice seems passionate and one that the forum could do with a bit more of, maybe stick around a bit more and instill some wisdom to the fold. At the very least I ask that you just take a look at the above listed sites and do just one little thing to help the cause, because as I've said many times in the forum - one man can make a difference. I believe you have fronted like a man and have the right, like any of us, to a second chance. Remembering though that many cancer patients do not get a second chance.
I am sorry for your losses and I am understanding of your pain :'(
May of been harsh by me judging you on one comment character wise and i understand we all
say stupid things we wish we hadn't. I believe you are genuinely sorry for what was said .
Sometimes a comment once out there is very difficult to walk away from no matter the regret.
Hope we can all move on.

Powerbug - Your chat identity and forum identity are different and thus work entirely separate of one another. Your chat name you made can be blocked from the chat but your forum account is separate and not affected as the two aren't tied.

Honestly i don't think it's that bad! That is pretty much word for word what was said when someone asked me about my name. Maybe it's just me but I thought that was soft...
Plenty of worse things said and it's not like I'm a random that just comes on chat to talk shower.
The general rule of thumb is that everything must be G rated.
Yeh alright well give me a warning and if I do it again then ban me. I apologised to c4 and monty anyway but yeah...
Still think it's soft.

Let me start by saying I am not complaining or anything but I got given a warning in the forum for saying bloody. So I think a ban was harsh but fair.
That's softer than the match review panel...
So my original question stands, how long am I banned for?

to be fair, apparently because it was at the same time as all that MP stuff, he filed it under there to deal with later.

Am I suppose to beg and plead for the almighty mods to grant me leniency?
C'mon mate I've used this site regularly for the last 2 seasons, said one thing that was a bit inappropriate, apologised for it and asked to be unbanned, and haven't been.
May i ask, if someone gets banned, how do they get onto this thread and ask for the ban to be lifted.

Not at all suggesting you grovel.
I am suggesting you cop your punishment with grace instead of complaining and acting like you have in someway been hard done by. Do you honestly think going on about it is in anyway going to help you?
Also, how long do bans last?

Am I suppose to beg and plead for the almighty mods to grant me leniency?
C'mon mate I've used this site regularly for the last 2 seasons, said one thing that was a bit inappropriate, apologised for it and asked to be unbanned, and haven't been.
Not at all suggesting you grovel.
I am suggesting you cop your punishment with grace instead of complaining and acting like you have in someway been hard done by. Do you honestly think going on about it is in anyway going to help you?
Well to be fair, this topic is called 'Banned and want to complain' :P
Honestly though, i have been asking how long I'm banned for and no-one answered me and i kinda assumed it would be over before the start of the next round. So was pretty disappointed it wasn't. Mostly coz there wasn't any warning or anything first.
And yeah you're right I shouldn't go on about it any further so I won't.
But that also means I just won't bother to try the chat.

By the way cheers for responding hawk. I do appreciate it as I haven't heard back from c4 and monty.
I voted for your away guernsey a few weeks back on the afl's 19th team thread ;)
Cheers :)
C4 has been ill the past week so that would account for his absence. I saw him yesterday and he is better so he might be on in the next day or so. Don't be afraid to shoot him another PM for clarification.
I get that it is frustrating. Given the state of the chat for most of the year they really had to ban on the first strike to try and clean it up and fight those who just start a new account. I respect that you haven't just created a new account and have tried to make amends.
I guess it is just the way you have phrased it was what could cause some issues. It is difficult to gauge the tone that people will extract from our words on the internet, intentional or otherwise. It is worth taking a minute or two just to review what you write to ensure you come off as intended.
Bans last as long as a piece of string.
I forget where I posted the reasoning behind my ban policy, so I'll write it out again.
There are many tens of thousands of people who visit FanFooty every weekend. Given this, I do not feel any need to encourage people to use the chat, since it is more than populated with people who want to chat. If you step out of line, I don't have any incentive to deal with your case quickly, or even at all, because there are plenty more people ready to chat with a better attitude and less foul language. In fact, it's probably better if there is a one-strike policy, because the only people left are those who have never acted up... which is the vast majority of you. I like those people. I'd rather have them on the chat.
Life isn't fair. I am part of life.

Thanks m0nty! To be fair i think I have a good attitude on chat and contribute to it but in this instance on chat I answered a smart ass question with a smart ass response and that was it.
I would appreciate if I could be unbanned but its your site. If I'm not unbanned, I won't create another nickname so if you don't want me on the chat then don't unban me. Either way I think I've gone on about it enough now (or too much already :-\).
Cheers!

Obviously not.
However Ziplock has every right to crack it IMO, he didnt even do anything.
So the best option is to stay clean and put myself in a position to get banned.
to be honest, there isn't enough banning going on. you can't help but glance at the chat when you are looking at scores and there are still quite a few people that are hoping for players to do all sorts of injuries. there should be an option to at least hide the chat. people wishing injuries on players drives me up the wall, there are too many juvenile people in the chat at times.

both of you are not on the ban list (unless you have different chat usernames to your forum one).

Whens Dudge getting off the band list valk. He's been on there for ages for calling monty "mandy" seems a bit harsh to be spending so long out for that. :(

The forum username (www.fanfooty.com.au/forum) and website username (www.fanfooty.com.au) are separate accounts. They dont necessarily have to be the same.
Not sure what the deal is then valk.
finally came back yesterday from my ban which wasn't warranted in the first place, and bang.. banned again for no reason? if i could remember my email password i'd email monty. i'll jump on the computer a bit later and sort it out
User name is Dudge. cheers Grazz. I would like to add, i read the chat nearly always, and some of the things i here Monty called or stuff said about him far outweigh what i was banned for. But as Ben Cousins said- "such is life"
