Should reputation follow you here?

[Freemind]

It's still only a couple of negative tags and some DT exclusions. If the administration does not moderate the scam, what else can the forum members do against the scammers? When it comes to altcoinstalks forum, they moderate scams here and if you can prove that someone is a scammer, they will get the special scammer badge and they may get banned as well.

10 or a hundred negative tags are not enough to stop these scammers. They should be banned if they are proven scammers. We know that it's easier to create another account and come back again. But they will have to spend enough time to rank up again.

There will be no problem with scammers here, their accounts will be blocked immediately and marked as a scam, as happened a few days ago with two new accounts that offered high salaries (I seem to remember that one of the salaries was $700 a week in ETH.) for downloading a game and performing tests, as a curious note, that "game" only worked on Windows and Mac. What users need to understand is that we need your help to monitor and present evidence, if any, in case a scammer is detected. The more eyes we have on the forum, the more peace of mind and good conversations we can have knowing that no one is going to be scammed. I am convinced that together we can create a good atmosphere in the forum.

What does blocking account means?
Are this blocked members banned and they cant write anymore posts?
Posting links with malware is something I saw in bitcoin talk forum, and I think doing that should be permanent ban anywhere.

Blocking means banning from posting on the forum. The one who is banned still can try to explain something, we are a friendly forum anyway. But I don't remember anyone being unbanned, we give too many second chances to give it additionally to those who crossed all the lines.

Giving a second chance will be beneficial to anyone who proves to be useful to the forum, with a signatures ban for a period of one or two years or any type of restriction.

To get a ban on posting the one should misbehave a lot: to be a proven scammer, SEO bot spammer or like that, or to ignore all warnings, negative badges, premoderation and all other measures we use to motivate users not to break the rules. So they still can have a chance, but I doubt we'll ever get even as many of those who will try to improve themselves after being banned from posting as there are fingers on the hand.

As @Jokers said, this type of "ban" is for users who, even after having several opportunities to change their behavior, have continued to violate the forum rules. It is another of the groups that exist in the forum, it is called "Under Review". These users are not banned, but they cannot post anywhere on the forum. These users still have the opportunity to PM the administrator or a moderator and change their behavior. Curiously, I think that none of the users in that group have done it yet.

Can blocked members still login in forum, send and receive PM for communication with other members?

Thank you for explanation mister president.
Altcoinstalks forum is doing the right thing and rules are not so strict as in bitcointalk forum, but it is easier to control situation when forum is smaller.

They definitely can log in, but I don't exactly know whom can they write a PM. I don't have a practical experience with that. Most times those misbehaving users who want to stay on the forum improve their behavior much earlier than they could be banned from posting and spammers don't really value their accounts to try to restore them.

How would they prove that they have changed from their bad habits if they aren't allowed to post? Does this set of users receive a prompt message to contact the administrator for a second chance? It is typical for anyone to abandon their profile if their ability to post is taken away.

Parma/Temp ban users get a prompt message on their profile on BTT.

a second chance?

The one can use his second chance when he gets his first warnings, when he gets negative badges, etc. If he still preferred to misbehave I'd not said that there will be a second chance.

It is impossible to give infinite number of chances to those who use them just to break the rules again and again.

I seem to remember that even being in that group (Under Review), users can send PMs to other users, but even if I'm wrong (which I could be), the user can always email the administrator or create a new temporary account to find out what happened. Communication options are always available when someone wants to talk and ask for another chance. When a user belonging to that group really wants to change their behavior, they have many ways to talk to the administrator or any moderator. Not being able to post openly on the forum I think is a very simple excuse.

Only the admin can't understand the behavior of people. The user has to come to the public to display his or her character to everyone that he is has changed and that will be how the person response to comments and the thread is creating. The character of the person would display to the admin might not be the same with other people. Private discussions is good but the person will still come to the public to interact with others. So it is good for the person to come to the public. And the person must have a thick skin because definitely there must be an attacks.

Change is a constant thing and it must be in gradual process. You don't rush someone to change his or her character immediately but allow them to adapt to the environment.

They can prove it with other accounts they have, hoping they learned a lesson not to do something like that again. 
Rules in this forum are not so strict and I think that anyone can improve after they received warning, they dont need to quit forum or get angry because of that.

Really? Dude, please share us some examples of users who were making some simple mistakes, them immediately got ban on posting and them had no option to show that they want to improve! I will be really surprised even if you'll find one single example! Most times I hear that we are too soft and not that we are too harsh!

AltcoinsTalks is a friendly forum. Are you sure you are writing your ideas about this place and not about some other one?

Just a misunderstanding here. I said if you don't allowed the person who has carried the bad reputation from another forum here to post in the public domain, how will we know that he has changed if he only pm the admin?
