Self Ban in Options Started by: Glocktopus on Aug 14, '20 21:01

Over time we've seen people request a ban from the admins for personal reasons.  We've also seen others just be generally abusive in the hopes that they catch a ban.  I can understand people wanting to take the temptation of MafiaReturns out of their life for a set period when things get tough or you need to step away but can't.  

My idea is pretty simple.  A feature in the Options section of the game where you can set a "self ban".  This simply lets you choose an amount of time and then randomizes your password for that set period.  There wouldn't be any way of going back from it.  No take backs no mulligans.

This would elevate the admins having to speak to people to fulfill ban requests.  It would also help elevate the people who come into chats or mails being abusive with the sole goal of being forcibly banned.

Report Post Tip

I really do not enjoy people asking for bans, because more often than not they come back asking for us to unban them the next day.  The favor ends up being 20 minutes of work, like 80% of the time a user requests one.

If people could self ban, I think it would actually cause MORE users to reach out and ask to be unbanned because more people would ban themselves. 

This is something that a user should do with out a feature, I don't think I have the type of personality that can ignore someone with a self ban pleading to be unbanned. 

Long story short: You either have the self control or you do not.  20 minutes of time doesn't sound like much, but it adds up - as well as really awkward conversations.

I agree with squishy 100% here.
