I had been banned from forums for a year and saw terrible things. I learned what's being a banned person and decided to write about my experiences to develop emphaty for unbanned people and defend banned people's rights.
When you got ban on forum and try to enter it again you can only see the message below:
"Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum! This ban is not set to expire."
And this causes some right violations.
1- Forum banned people can't apply for ban and unban on servers anymore when they got banned from forums.
2- Forum banned people can't follow the news about the game or mods.
3- Forum banned people can't join tournaments.
I think these are violating of their rights. Getting a ban from forums shouldn't cause these.
TURK'S ADVISES, SOLUTION OPTIONS
1- Forum banned people should allowed to see forum content. Restricting their rights to share things should be enough.
2- There should be communication addresses like mails and steams of forum moderators somewhere on the forum which can be seen by banned people, so banned people can send messages to forums when necessary by moderators' helps. Like ban, unban appeals, sign ups for the tournaments or objection about claims which are being told about them.
I wanted to open this topic because a year ago I was in prison too. I wrote and sent letters to authorized people, fought for my rights, negoatiated with them and finally unbanned after a year. Now I feel I am obliged to defend other banned people's rights. Those judged or sometimes misjudged unfortunate people who you don't hear anymore. Don't worry! TURK didn't forget you after he earned his freedom!
