Hello, thanks for taking your time to read this!
I am just tossing an Idea out to MineRealm, but I think this would be a fun opportunity,
especially for Mods or Admins!

On Each Mod or Admin's profile, they should have a 'ban count' , as in how many people they have banned.
This would benefit the community [ more trolls, griefers ETC get banned, and faster]
And the admins would also get their share of fun!

Remember, just chucking it out there,

I like this idea. We already have mods who occasionally ban a large number of griefers then announce the number in chat, so a running total would be entertaining.

I think it is a terrible idea as it promotes banning... We want to aim to have as minimal bannings as possible. Now i'm not saying that mods and admins shouldn't ban people, but what use does it have if we the public can see who is the most lenient or who is the strictest. If anything, it will increase the number of bans due to the competitive nature.

He didn't say "Okay let's have a ban competition! Whichever mod/admin gets the most wins 10 stacks of diamond!"
It won't be a competition.

You don't think that in all of us as humans we don't have a competitive nature. Eventually, the public will start stating how so and so has banned this many, whereas ..... has banned only this many. Suddenly ..... feels bad as everyone sees him as a poor mod. Then he starts amping up his ban count... and then suddenly so and so sees the threat to his and he starts to ban some more and the snowball effect takes place from there...

Yer i dont really think it is a good idea either, the players would start to judge the admins on how many player they had banned.

This is a VERY bad idea.
Back in Alpha, a few mods decided to try something like this out, and all of us (Not naming names), truly regretted it.
It just doesn't turn out with an overall positive outcome.
