[center]Post what you think about having a Ban Meter, or a Strike System here on Mara.

The whole point of it is to have multiple chances. Once you hit so many offenses then you're done.
I know the site rules can be read easily but most people don't even bother.
With this system people will be able to have some chances to realize what they did was wrong and to not do it again.

For Example;

If a person were to leave their account logged in and walked away and a sibling decides to go run about the site causing problems.
Instead of an instant permanent ban, how about a temporary ban? Make sure they receive and email letting them know why they were punished, and for how long. Instead of letting them lose their mind and make another account and rant on forums and blogs.

It's a lot like when new seasonal events come out. You know when the pumpkins are around the site, if someone puts a fake one anywhere they are temporary frozen. They can be just like that.

The only ones dealing with these issues will be staff, not regular players.

The meters would only be view-able by the individual and staff only. No others will be able to view that person's account status

If you have anything to add please feel free. If you have a better idea on how the system should be run, that's completely fine. Any negative or rude comments will be deleted[/center]

  • AwesomeAmy 0 AwesomeAmyYeah, I don't mind this. I second this idea! c:
  • Torture 75 TortureI think it would depend on how it was run, In a way I agree and in a way I don't.
  • LividyGravity 0 LividyGravityYes, I am tired of others being banned for no reason.
  • ruzaika 1 ruzaikaI totally agree
  • Pocky 23 PockySo are you saying this ban meter would be visible? I think if anything it should be invisible to regular members, but visible for staff to see. I could just see people making weird faces at the ones that are close to banishment.
  • Cheerful 40 CheerfulI think it should be visible to the individual player themselves so they know how close they are to their permanent ban But not to the public. So players won't be able to see others offenses and what their meter is at.
  • Pocky 23 PockyOh okay. That makes sense. Thanks for clarifying. I wouldn't see it as a bad idea. I don't know if it's the best idea, but it's worth a try.
  • Mystical 56 MysticalI think this is great idea.
  • Brad 36 BradThat would be amazing. I've lost so many of my old account because of my siblings (things they did on There account though :l) so just getting a warning or strike would have been lovely.
  • Gay 59 GayI actually really like this idea. Seems like it would work pretty well
  • Arrtlovee93 14 Arrtlovee93WHAT A FANTASTIC IDEA!
  • Riah 15 RiahGreat idea
  • Jasperie 31 JasperieI Would Like This!

  • prange7165 15 prange7165Love the idea. I was once frozen because my older sister left for university and decided to quit mara/ gave me all of her stuff. Luckily I could contact staff and sort it out, but mistakes like that happen all the time and people don't think and instead just create a new account.
  • Paint 0 PaintTotally agree, when my sister joined mara I sent her some clothes and some expensive items just to get her started up, and her account was banned, but I mailed them and it was sorted out. Also because my sister and I share an email account whenever I email staff they remind me that I'm not allowed to have multiple accounts, which is fair enough the first time, but they do it every time, and it gets really annoying having to explain myself each time
  • Twi 75 TwiI think this is a great idea, but it has some flaws. Even so, I'm all for it to see what would happen if it was implemented.
  • 0 shootingrainbowsI think this is a great idea. my cousin just got banned yesterday... We share an IP address and sometimes computer, and I got banned last november for having 'multiple accounts', and also because I won her a pet in a giveaway but she didn't know that she couldn't thank me for it by sending me a few items. instead, I got banned, and when I contacted staff, all I got was that I was punished for what she didn't know she couldn't do, and that we were apparently sharing accounts or something. so, how was that fair...? :| first I get banned, then she got banned yesterday for god knows what I did this time, maybe. this time, she says she doesn't want to contact staff because for sure we'll be accused of 'multiple accounts' again... she doesn't want to come on mara anymore. I think that staff should also always let someone know why someone is banned before banning them, instead of them having to send in a support ticket, etc.
