Fenlore needs help - Lock this thread

edited September 2004 in Tube's Circus Of Bug Reports and User Issues
a couple days ago fenlore asked for a 24 hour temp ban so he wouldn't get distracted studying for a test. He's been banned for 3 days now and he's getting kinda mad.

    He got a 98%, so he did good.

    And no RenegadeDrizzt, I'm not fenlore, though he is my friend.

    Ha! I totally told him it's rather difficult to get unbanned after asking for a temp ban.

    Or did I tell him that after he was banned...? I don't remember.

    Seems to me that if he doesn't have the dicipline to study without being banned. Perhaps he should stay banned so he wont have trouble with future assignments

    I think he has shown responsiblility in this by asking for a ban.

    He should be awarded back to the village and congratulated for his efforts.

    A continued ban for such a reason as that would be punishment for people working against their addiction.

    Hello police?
    I'd like you to put me in jail so I can study for this test.
    No realy I can't turn off the TV you need to throw me in jail.


    It's not dicipline asking for a ban, nor will it help in the long run since there are plenty of other ways for him to procrasitnate.

    There is such a thing in psychology as an internet addiction, but that's only recognized because there are extreme cases. Orthanc, this fenlore probably had enough willpower to actually recognize the conflict between studying and the forums but not enough to quit outright. Several people that do not ask for temp bans, remember, are the ones that refuse to recognize a growing addiction and sacrifice their grades and/or lives because of it. I think self-banning is a good practice for those of us who are not accustomed to cold-turkeying and need a little push - I think there was a maxim that said, to some effect, that a locked door is the best defense against temptation. I sincerely hope that you do not consider these people inferior and look down upon them, because I'm sure you have your share of weaknesses that cross the line of humorous exploitation. Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I really believe that fenlore should be unbanned and this thread forgotten (If that hasn't happened already).

    On an unrelated note, I fail to see the humor in leaving fenlore banned, but that is probably because I'm not really thinking right now, and my wit is very dull.

    You know, I feel slightly responsible for this. The other day he said "Gee, I need to study for a test, but I can't control myself. I keep coming here. I need a way to resist the temptaion of coming here and wasting hours upon hours." Being in a similar predicament myself a few weeks back, I told him he could ask for a temp ban, as I did. He thought it a great idea and did just that.

    I just forgot to mention the whole "getting unbanned" part was rather difficult. Convieniently, I might add...

    Yeah I can see how it is rather difficult for a mod to click two, maybe three!, times and just unban somebody when they eagerly banned him in the first place.

    If you're going to do this, then at least make someone acknowledge a detailed agreement the next time they ask for a ban.

    Before you acquaint us with this knowledge, keep in mind that your record isn't exactly platinum either.

    I wouldn't have a problem if the mods didn't advertise it a while back - when you could automatically ban yourself.

    No matter who he is, you really shouldn't just leave the ban on. I mean, how exactly should he have gone about trying to get unbanned? People get less time for trolling.
