Sometimes in the Lounge, people do/say stuff and get banned, but others do not know why they got banned. I suggest a consant thread in log form, where only moderators/admins can post.. and it will include a "ban log" ... who got banned/when/ and why?

I think this would be good as a deterant for rule breaking etc.

It would quickly get filled with spammers and foo68s, and most of the offenses that can lead to banination are listed in the rules, but still, I agree that some sort of notice of who's getting banned and why might be useful to members who wish to avoid the same fate.

I think it's fair to say that most of the time, it's not necessary to discuss others' punishments.

I think a return of the "View First Unread Post" feature is a better request. Or maybe somebody can tell me how they know where to return in a multi-page thread? I certainly can't remember.

Just look at the last 10 or so posts that user made.

That should do it.

Take lots of ginseng and practise your mnemonic skills, that should do it.

Cubeoid i think you are on here enough that you will hear about anyone getting banned.

besides cubeoid, if this was in place a few months ago, i don't think you'd have appreciated seeing your name up there next to a reason why you were temp banned.
you wouldn't think that was awesome.
