The title says just about everything I'm asking for. I remember awhile ago when Kerovon/saves threatened to issue out forum bans for anyone that posted in the Bans section that wasn't creating a topic, providing evidence, or defending themselves (or bumping, as is often the case). Seeing the recent spike in flame wars over ban appeals and requests, reinforcing the policy should increase efficiency in the Bans section and cut down on forum clutter. Seeing as there's not much else to say, I'll just ask for the general thoughts of anyone who frequents the forums to be posted below.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. I'd copy paste until the whole darned comment was a whole page long of "Yes's," but I'm far to busy thinking YES to myself.

This is indeed, what we need.

*EDIT* anyone who could directly effect the matter should be given the opportunity to pm a staff member if they feel their opinion is that valid, this way [...] can't take s***'s on people's ban appeals.

This would be nice, but I think that the reason it is not in effect is because the admins want to know the community's opinion. I can see the pros and cons of making a change like this.........

Brilliant idea here. Minerealm is all about community, but when ban requests and appeals are ground for flame wars. Then, I too see no point of having them public. Please make ban requests/appeals only viewable to admins. It would make life much more easier. The bad side to this is that there won't be as much input on the situation from players that were actually there when the incident took place. The players that do truly care will message an admin and the ones that are there for the lulz hopefully won't make it to that step. Admins know what they're doing, most of the community doesn't at this point of time.

My thoughts exactly, people don't need to interfere with appeals that don't concern them.

Are you looking for a ban yourself? O.o

My thoughts exactly, Guad.

Really? You thought escaping the pits of hell would be easy?

Seriously, first you need get the attention of people that you are trying to get out to avoid falling into the pit of perpetual neglect; then you have to get past the three headed Cerberus, the three heads being Kress, Cerevox, and myself; and finally you need to get past Charon (an admin) and have actual approval to get out of hell.

Basically, you need to be the literary equivalent of Kratos.
