Title: Ban duration/length
Post by: ConnieCoyn on August 22, 2015, 11:00:13 PM
Is there any way to check how much time is left on being banned?

Thanks in advance for help.

If the user was posting under other accounts while their main account was banned, I suspect that their account was perma-banned and they're not welcome back on the website. You're not allowed to post outside of the Meta section on any account, if one of your accounts is currently banned.

what is the ban message?

if the message say something about the period of time then it is a temp ban, otherwise it is a perma ban and won't expire

With it being what OP called  "evasion" he will not be coming back.  Evasion is a perma ban.

He can wait a while and PM one of the admins and ask nicely to get unbanned.  But as far as time right now I would say forever unless an admin changes it.

The ban message says "...extended (10 days)" but it has been well over 20 days (approximately 25) since the ban started.

evasion is perma ban only after you get the 30 day ban and get caught ban evading, then you get a perma ban.

if is your first ban and you are caught ban evading, your ban will be doubled

If the ban of 10 days was doubled to 20 days and began on the day of the evasion then it is well past 20 days now.
Had a 20 day ban started on the first of this month then it would be over now but it actually started before the end of last month.

Any suggestions?

Like I mentioned before, the account was probably permabanned, meaning it will never be unbanned.

However, wait for BadBear to post in this thread (he should post in here if he sees this thread) and he should be able to tell you exactly how long the ban is.

Also important when everyone say's wait were talking like month's not day's.   Ban evasion is taken very seriously, if you bug the admins on it you will never get it back.

Wait a few months admit what you did, appolgize and ask for forgiveness.   And you might be banned forever still.  Only admins can tell you this.  No one knows how bad your spamming and ban evasion was besides them.
