Nasa's posting priviledges restricted
MESSAGES IN THIS TOPIC BY ADMIN ONLY - ALL OTHERS WILL BE DELETED
This topic is to supplement the Suspensions and Bannings topic. Here we can track members who have had their posting priviledges restricted, but who have not been totally suspended and/or banned.
Any discussion of admin posting restriction actions should be taken to the "Change in Moderation?" topic, link below.
Nasa's posting priviledges have been restricted to the "Suggestions and Questions" forum. See message 51 at the "DarkStar's Collection of Quotations - Number 1" topic, for more information and context.

yxifix is on holiday for a day
You may have noticed that yxifix isn't responding right now.
He has lost his posting priveledges for a day. It'll give him time to read before he posts the same thing over yet again.

yxifix confirmed as fully restored
I had intended this topic for priviledge restrictions short of total suspensions. Since yxifix was temporarily restricted to just a couple of forums (including "Suggestions and Questions", I guess this was the right place.
I have confirmed that yxifix's full posting priviledges have been restored (I presume by AdminNosy). I will now delete the 3 alternate ID's s/he created.

This message is a response to Mammuthus, who posted the following at the Introducing the new "Boot Camp" forum:
quote:
I am in the position of agreeing with the Admins and crashfrog at the same time on this issue. The entire forum is sort of a boot camp as crashfrog indicated. On the other hand, just banning people completely is not particularly great in an open forum. It looks bad having JAD alone in the boot camp. But why not re-instate Syamsu, whatever, desdamona et al. and put them in boot camp? Those who wish can interact with them here or ignore them and stay in the other parts of the forum. If any of those restricted up their argument, they get a pass into the general population...I guess it is worth a try.
In the beginning, the suspension process was simple and straight forward. Either you had full posting privileges to all forums, or you had no posting privileges at all.
Since then, Percy has much modified the suspension system, making in much more flexible. But this has also made it more complicated and difficult to track.
The current system has three main controls. 1) Able to start threads?, 2) Able to post?, and 3) Able to edit?.
If all three of these are checked as "no", it is a total suspension of posting privileges (although my guess is, that just #2=no would also be a total suspension). Anyhow, if any of 1-3 are checked as "no", the member permissions database will filter them out as "members with reduced posting privileges" - These restricted members are easy to track.
Percy has also added forum by forum controls for posting privileges. A specific member can be restricted to posting to specific forums. To check on memeber with such restrictions, the specific member permissions must be looked up - It will not be caught by the "members with reduced posting privileges" filter.
Currently only two members are being given "Boot Camp" restrictions. They are John A. Davison and Whatever. They are excluded from posting to the "Main Area" topics, except for the "Boot Camp" and "Proposed New Topics" forums. The have posting privileges for the non-main area forums.
Syamsu currently has no restrictions on his posting privileges.
Desdamona is restricted to posting to the "Free For All", "Suggestions and Questions", "Columnist's Corner", and "Boot Camp" forums.
Kendemyer's permissions are very simular to JAD's and Whatever's. Kendemyer, however, does not have topic starting or editing permissions in any forum.
