How big is your banlist?
 
So, just as the question says..how many pages is it? :).


I will start:

37 pages

:D I don't think i've ever really had to ban someone on any forum.

03-13-2008 03:05 AM

FRDS same :D

intricatic 03-13-2008 04:01 AM

I'm saddened to report that we only have 75 members banned so far, so only like 3 pages. :(

KTBleeding 03-13-2008 01:31 PM

Meh.. banning is and always has been ridiculous to me. I've never run a forum where I needed to ban anybody. But I also don't have 10's of thousands of registered members..

So what do you do with spammers ?

bigcurt 03-13-2008 07:25 PM

The only reason my banlist is so huge is because my forum is basically based on trades and trust and anyone who breaks that trust must be banned to ensure they cannot "scam" again.

So far the list of banned emails and IPs on my forum is only a page and a half long, most precautionary measures.

dreads 03-14-2008 12:43 AM

lol over 500 pages! its only been a month.. i already have a macro that auto bans overnight..

Alfa1 03-14-2008 12:45 AM

1,248 banned users.

chuckc 03-14-2008 01:56 AM

Seven years and counting. One user name on our list. That user currently has a new/another user name, and has played well with the others since we got his attention.

Zachariah 03-16-2008 01:06 PM

Since 05.30.01
Total Bans: 18

But, 4537 "deny from" IP adresses in my .htaccess file.
:D

bigcurt 03-16-2008 08:25 PM

Does anyone remember the link to that list where it listed a lot of the IP's of web proxy services..I remember on here at one point in time there was a huge list full of them.

Man, I feel sorry if some forum owners have 500+ ban pages of spammers!

I have only had to take care of a couple of spammers, and I guess that I did ban them. My previous post is pretty hypocritical now then, isn't it? :erm:

nexialys 03-17-2008 10:33 AM

same here... when you have more than 1% of your userlist in the ban list, that means you have a crappy forum that is not auto-moderatored... if you have 500 pages of bans, that mean you have an off-topic forum that grab all the crap from the internet to post on your site...

sorry, no matter how you deal with a forum, if you ban a user each time he does not post what you like, close your forum, close your computer, and go take a ride in mexico...

anthonycea 03-17-2008 12:27 PM

We only banned a few members, most of our bans (many thousands) are IP's of hackers and spam bots and their blacklisted open proxy IP's using a custom IP ban tool that places them in a folder, not in the C-panel ban tool.

punchbowl 03-17-2008 12:29 PM

125ish - about 100 of those are the same people over and over again.

Not True.
- I have 1000's banned across many domains.
- Everyday month is better traffic than the last month, no harm there.
- I am the auto-moderator. When they post something stupid they are warrned, then banned if it proves a bot. When enough stupid people are removed it will be clean.

I make it easy, I tally where the problems are and ban countries of IP ranges.
Wow no more problems and no missed traffic as those countries offer my site nothing anyway.

There are millions of people that want to play nice . It's easy to prune and block. :)
- .2 % of my traffic gone, but 90% of my problems .... its alll numbers and math to me.

I removed 100 users and 75K posts a few weeks ago. It's almost a site again. :)

Alfa1 03-17-2008 04:59 PM

The higher you set the standards, the more people will have trouble adjusting to them. Resulting in more bans.

bigcurt 03-18-2008 02:12 AM

My forum is completely different circumstance though. A user is not banned for his posts or his opinions, usually the only reason he is banned is if he is trying to scam someone in a trade or has scammed someone in a trade.

Kimmi 03-18-2008 02:00 PM

I dont ban the only way i ban if they make a racial remark or bash my members children.. and as for spammers i have a speical user group for them. since i know they wont come back..

Geck079 03-18-2008 03:19 PM

Out of all my sites I only have a total of 2 people on my ban list.
