.13 months ago, when we updated the forum to the 4.0 software, we lost several features. One feature was the hardcoding of thread bans. Since then, when a thread ban was issued, a series of events was put into place, so the member would clearly be aware that this violation was in place, so they would not post on that thread and incur further violations. As of today, the hardcoded thread ban feature is again available. What that means is, when you are thread banned from a thread, you will no longer be able to access that thread.

Does that mean you will no longer see the posts or just not be able to post to the thread?
I have not experimented with this software, but with the old, you would not be able to view the thread at all. I would assume that that is also the case with this software, but assuming can be dangerous.
It seems to me that if someone was thread banned and wanted to see the thread, they could start a different browser and not be logged into DP.I have not experimented with this software, but with the old, you would not be able to view the thread at all.

If that's the case why not just prevent posting?It seems to me that if someone was thread banned and wanted to see the thread, they could start a different browser and not be logged into DP.
I can still see threads I've been banned from.
I'd like to ask, though: If we're not supposed to be able to see a thread we've been banned from, why then is there a link to the allegedly offensive post in the mod-pm notifying us of said thread-ban?
I've thread banned her. I'll wait a min or so and then unban.Yup. Work your magic :2razz:
I know that Cap. But folks like to hear the poop from a regular member.FYI. I already tested this. If you are thread banned, you cannot access the thread... if you are logged in.

Awesome, you all conducted an experiment only prove exactly what Spud said in, like, the 3rd post. LOL
Now here's a question, what if you got a thread ban on a day after the new system had taken effect and the ban is announced in thread, yet you find you still have access to it, and could probably post in the thread. Could you?
Pretty sure I saw a "like" from you on that thread post-ban.:ninja:
Under the temporary thread ban (announced in-thread) schema, you could still read the thread, give likes, and even post (although this would earn you 5 points for each violation post). Now that the new hard-coded system has been implemented, such access is denied.
I will point out that if you were thread-banned under the old schema, it is still considered a valid thread-ban in all respects.
Let's do this piecemeal...Is it fair to assume though, that, if you still have access to post in a thread, after CC's announcement, that means you are not actually thread banned?
Let's do this piecemeal...
1) All thread bans under the old system are still valid.
2) If you are thread-banned under the new system, you will receive a PM notifying you of the thread ban and thread access is denied.
Capiche?
Ahh. Now I understand what you are referring to. I'll handle it.Uhm, not quite. My question is, what if you get a notice like you describe in #2 and it's under the new system, yet you find you still have access to the thread despite the notice. Thread ban or not?
