What I do is press PrintScrn then CTRL-V to a program like paint which in automatically installed on windows I think. Then, save and upload to a site like imgur. This way I have it for later reference.

 

+1, if a banned user really wants to get unbanned, all they should be able to post/comment is a ban appeal.

 

I disagree Ill explain later gtg

 

Try holding fn+prt sc.

There's also a built-in program called Snipping Tool.

 

Bump

 

Maybe disable them from everywhere except ban appeal/complaints. Maybe that will defiantly make them want to appeal

 

(-1) If a user is banned from the server then they have done something wrong on the server. Why should they be banned from the shout box too?

 

I've seen quite a few people who don't complain about their bans, it's usually the same couple of people who do that.
Besides, if someone's complaining about their ban in shoutbox it's easier for me to tell them to appeal.

 

Let's just say, hypothetically, this happens.
How are you proposing we even implement and enforce this?
To block them from shoutbox, a GA would have to go into forum accounts everytime someone's banned and turn off their shoutbox perms (and I don't even know if GAs can do that or if it's just me, and to be quite honest since I've never done it I don't even know if I can do it either), and then turn them back on upon a successful appeal.
Without doing that, we're just handing out a bunch of forum warnings and doing a lot of /seen on everyone who talks in the shoutbox.

Do you actually have a method of doing this that is plausible, or are you just complaining about people talking about their bans in the shoutbox?

 

Since this probably isn't possible, I suggest that moderators hand out forum warnings for those who repetetively complain about their bans.

 

After reading all the comments, I think that banned players should be allowed to use the shoutbox, but moderators should be stricter and hand out more warnings to those who choose to be impatient and complain about their bans in the shoutbox.

I understand that one may want to talk in the shoutbox to catch up on something they might have missed as long as they don't complain about their tempbans and bans.

 

Although I would agree that some do that, I would argue that others chat.

Now, I'm not going to argue the morals/should we/should we not do this part of the argument. I'm going to instead address how hard this would be to execute.

First for the sake of argument lets assume we can deny specific people access to the shout box. I know we can bar Builders from the shout box but that is a group with a label of forum permissions. So let us, for the sake of argument say that you can bar specific people as well.

Now based on that assumption let us look at the facts. Only Andrewkm, as far as I know, can directly edit player's specific permissions. Therefore anytime a player gets banned we would have to contact Andrewkm and he would have to remove their permission to the shout box. That would be a lot of effort for just one man who already has several things to do.

Now the possible solution to that is to make a 'Banned User' Permission list. From what I understand of the permission we may be able to do that. In that case a GA would have to be alerted of every single ban.

Finally, we would then have the issue of having to alleviate the issue for every unbanned player. This would essentially mean that SuperMods could no longer do appeals because a GA would be required to fix their permissions.

Essentially the request you are asking for would require a larger change in the ECC Staff team than I believe you realize. I understand the reason you want it, but personally this sounds like more effort than it would help.
