Darth Legolas Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Yeah, this is probably my dumbest question ever, but yesterday I saw a new member (literally, joined the same day,) who was in a group called "taking a break." I also had reported him, because in a random bionicle topic he asked to be a moderator or admin... which was really quite random. So, what does taking a break mean, and does it have anything to do with him randomly asking to be a mod?
Buttons Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Basically it is the step before you get banned but for more information have a look here. Linky
Natman8000 Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) It used to be called bad kids. It means that the member is given some time to reflect on their bad behavior and if they agree to behave, they can come back as a normal member. If not, its the chamber for them! It really was because of the way he posted, not just asking to be a mod. Like member pencoin, he had bad behavior, and he was put on break, then banned. EDIT: dang, beaten!

Wait Pencoin was banned why? I was sent to the chamber for putting pointless posts but then Kim T showed me some of my posts and I realized that spamming was a bad thing and I should put more meaning into my posts so I did and he let me go!
WhiteFang Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 In the past, "Bad Kids" and "Taking a Break" user groups meant the same thing. They are created to isolate members whom are identified for many undesirable various reasons such as breaking the site guidelines or misbehaving in Eurobricks. However, the approach for "Taking a Break" is basically allowed staff and members to have a closed environment where the member is given a chance to explain for their actions and communicate effectively, hoping to establish a common understanding between staff and member. Whatever happened between this user group and staff are under Eurobricks staff's jurisdiction and handling. Therefore, the question which you have asked earlier is not related. The question has been answered, and I see there is no reason for it to continue either. Thanks.
