*sigh* Life got busy. I'll try to talk to Gabe this week. Tentative opening date is now Friday, December 1st.

As with some of the other Magi, I haven't seen much of Nathan recently and so I won't comment on your current use of him. My characters have interacted with him in the past, but not much, and not in combat. As for Babylon's use of Mage Hand, I find this: "Target: One nonmagical, unattended...

Up to Nashira, since it's Rotunda. I'll pass the word along to make sure she sees this.

LOL! Which proves I'm not as aware of the details of the filters as I ought to be! Anyhow, for both messageboards and chat, "cocktail" is fine. The first part by itself is not fine. :cool:

We try to allow words that can be used in legit contexts. "The :):):):) crowed at dawn", etc. :-) But for the menu additions, that's up to the setting coordinator to approve or not. Thank you for suggesting it though! Feel free to offer suggestions for other rooms, any time. Someone asked...

We haven't forgotten this, btw! I've been writing up some drafts of what might work, when I have the chance, and so on from there. :-)

If someone makes up a name that's obviously an attempt to be mistaken for one of your characters, let us know and we can change the password on that name so it can't be used. And we'll keep an eye on the username list to try to keep it from happening again. In that same vein, if you've...

As I said before, yes, removing just the offending character would be easier. But it was decided that it wasn't the best way to bring home the lesson. All of the characters known (or later known) to have been played at the time of the loss of characters, are removed and aren't allowed back in...

Yes, like Apolline said, too! Thank you! :-)

Okay, yes, I see the confusion. The first level is warnings issued to a single character name (but player and IP address are recorded). The next level is that after multiple warnings, the player loses all current characters. They are allowed back on site with new characters. Yes, maybe they...

It wouldn't be difficult at all! It would be a helluva lot easier than searching down those other four characters and hoping there weren't ten more we didn't know about! But that's not the way we enforce it. If you read the Code of Conduct, the reason is given there. What would stop someone...

This depends on whether it's an initial banning or an IP banning. In a general sense, it's both character tracking and IP tracking. Everytime we warn someone, we record both IP address and character name. If a player has had at least three warnings and is given the initial ban, they lose all...

Okay, we've reopened this thread since people still seem to have legitimate questions over how banning works and why someone might be banned. Please keep to that topic. (And just saying how great/evil the Magis are, is very nice/saddening, but it's not on topic.) Please also keep it to...

This thread has been closed as being too specific about a particular banning. The other thread has been re-opened for continued discussion, but please keep it (1) on topic, and (2) as general as possible.

I do want to add a little. The use of IP addresses to identify people who have been banned and who aren't allowed back on site, had been ISRP policy for many, many years. If newcomers (or oldtimers) weren't aware of that, they didn't read the Code of Conduct closely enough. People have...

I think I disagree with this, especially the idea that pulling in something from Eberron is antithetical to the concept of an open setting room (agreed, it's antithetical to D&D's Sigil). If we did this, it wouldn't be turning the Hive into an Eberron room. The description would make that quite...

CageGolem is already a rogue modron, so initially I was thinking we wanted something different for the Hive. I'm reconsidering based on these posts. Maybe it's CageGolem's bigger badder "brother". ;-) Estimated time this will go up: I'd like to try for the end of this month. There's two...

Okay, guys, I've been asking around and there are some really bizarre rumours out there. (1) The Magi banned 36 players at once. We haven't banned even a dozen players since we've been on EN World! It's technically possible for 36 players to get banned at once, if for instance a dorm full of...

May I suggest you read the Magi responses? We are not doing what we're accused of in the first post.

If you've figured out a way to send baked goods through e-mail, sure! *preps "detect poison" just in case :-) * Also, about the policy of not discussing the specifics of a ban or warning with anyone other than the person: the intent of this is to keep people from being harassed by other...
