intraspeed Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I would like to ask @richba5tard Why banned members do have full access to the forum ? Is this some kind of reward for being banned ? Or is it a forum bug ? To all Feel free to comment. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted May 7, 2018 Administrators Share Posted May 7, 2018 It is neither a reward (what a senseless comment) nor a bug. It was a decision made by massman. Forums and hwbot.org are seperated for bans, this means if you get banned or suspended at the forums you can still submit at hwbot.org and if you get banned from hwbot.org you can still use the forums. When I asked to change at least the practice of giving access to hwbot.org banned users to forums (means to block at least post rights or deny access to forums), this was denied. Reason given was that misconduct at forums does not disqualify valid benchmark entries, and that at second case, getting blocked for cheating at hwbot is enough penalty. I think at least the second part might well be discussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splave Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I think it doesnt matter, if you are banned from forum because you cheat you can make another user name and browse and post anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intraspeed Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 Thing is Is it right ? A banned member for cheating , or banned for having double or triple accounts , to have access publishing adds , participating in forum posts (many times talking about ethics and what's right or wrong). Who ? The one that cheated. Dont you all have the feeling , that something is wrong with this ? Still waiting for an answer from @richba5tard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A banned member for cheating or whatever (without even an indication or mark in this forum appl) that he is banned , takes part in forum posts , giving credit to other member submissions or having an opinion about them. Go figure. This situation must be resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireKillerGR Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 what situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I think I agree with Massman. Being a douche at the forums does not make you submit invalid scores on hwbot. Being banned from making submissions does not mean by definition we should mute your voice on the forums. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intraspeed Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 Ok then. Lets all have a drink for the scammers. Hooray !!! Lets celebrate this glorious day ==> "Be a scammer , you can" !!! Cheat your benchmarks all the way , No problem. Be yourself , or be you double or triple account. You can always come back to the forum and play god or talk about honesty or ethics. Why ? Because you are a part of this community , and this community loves his cheaters. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted May 8, 2018 Administrators Share Posted May 8, 2018 I think we had enough drama at greece which killed a wonderful oc scene there, we do not need people to try to instrumentalize hwbot now for the next level of this. So if you have problems with some members who were banned here why don't you try to solve them at home of forum wars, greece, where they come from? If you think nobody knows why you brought up this topic you really underestimate the intelligence of people here. P.S. Next time you start a topic like this, it might be a lot more helpful to stay on a sober level and work with valid arguments. On the topic itself, we are not too far apart, especially when I think about marketplace access for peope who already proved they have low ethics.
