We definitely need more members participation, not less

I didn't even realize that he'd been banned (again). But it looks like it's permanent.

[Mr Peabody]

How does some one know they are banndd? Do you receive notification, site just don't work etc.?

[ForeverAutumn]

I have no idea. Want me to ban you so you can find out?

I kid, I kid.

I suspect that you just try to log on and can't. But usually there are warnings by the mods, via PM, before the ban occurs. I would rather give a member the opportunity to toe the line before banning him (or her). Unless it's spam. Spammers just get an automatic and permanent ban without warning.

[Mr Peabody]

No, that's quite alright, I'm good . Boy, that is true what they say about curiosity and the AR member...... or, was that cat.

We do seem to get a few new members, I think it's important to keep a look out on the Community Welcome, to respond when folks visit. Things also seem to go smoother when we stick to music and audio, keeping away from the personal issues.

I did wonder though at one point the site didn't work well for me, it got better after the AR redesign but it's still a bit quirky. I suspect the site may not play well with older versions of Windows. I have a new computer with Windows 8 that works pretty well on AR but still there's occasions when pages don't load properly when clicking a link, mostly "quick reply".

You can tell right away because you can log on to the forum and read threads like normal but you cannot reply to any posts. Your profile also becomes disabled so you cannot make any changes to it. In my experience the moderators and admin on audioreview are fair so you'll receive a private message or even an email discussing the reason and terms of the ban.

Things may or may not be different after the recent site redesign though.

Wowser..... this place is pretty tolerant... must've been one helluva dust-up to warrant a crash landing! This place can get kinda "heated" but it's usually just between folks who believe they've the only "true" knowledge on a particular subject... It goes downhill from there... Still this place looks like "Romper Room" compared to some places I've been. Game forums are notorious!

My wife and I will be driving up to Newark next Saturday to spend the day with Mark and his wife.

I will let him know his friends were concerned.
