Maybe some people need to be prepared for a surprise. When I came across a post by Ctech complete with his old member status and post count; I thought for a moment that I had somehow landed in an old archived thread.

Not that I mind seeing him back.

We won`t publish the names, there`s no need. If you see them posting again you`ll know that they are back.

What I would say is that two previously banned members have been unbanned.

Maybe the lack of requests is an indication that the decisions to ban which have been made over time have been proven to be the right ones.

Or maybe some people already moved to different things, they do not read talkgold that often and have no idea about this possibility...

The problem is that, banned users think/believe that they are banned unfairly and mods/admin believe that user is banned with acceptable reasons.

But it's a good move from mods/admins.
Any way, mods and admins, have you been banned ever ?
What do you feel when ban a guilty user ?

I believe it is good, as most people deserve another chance. And as some of the posters of this thread know, mistakes and misunderstandings do happen...

In regards to how we feel, it varies case by case. If you asking about a particular one, then I can tell you. First it felt very good, than a little guilty and upset, but over all I think it was a good experience for a couple of people. ;-)

Absolutely agree with that too.

Also, let me remind:

Quote:

Any ex-member who believes that they a) were banned unfairly, or b) that they are now prepared to follow forum rules and play a part in the future of this forum may write to this e-mail address TalkgoldBan@gmail.com with their old username, approximate date they were banned, and if possible a link to one of their old posts.

Not through MSN, or other IM networks, not in a thread, and not in PM. It must be e-mail to TalkgoldBan@gmail.com

Very few take much notice of Alexa ranking nowadays.

Well the HYIP scammers who pay you to advertise here certainly don't as their only using money which has been scammed from elsewhere to pay for it anyway.
