NeoGAF Bans - A Web App

Wow what an interesting application. Now I wonder, can you generate an app that pulls post histories? I am sure that would be rather interesting.
 
So is it a database app controlled entirely by user input, or does it actively parse the forum to find banned posters and log incidents?
 
Idea for an extension: when a member's title reads "Banned," link that to their page on this web app. Maybe for another day.

The former. Can't check post histories still. :(

Looks like user input, thus there are hardly any records at the moment.

OK, I was wondering if it would even be possible to do the latter. I think you could also expand this app by including other status changes, such as when someone is de-modded (as in the recent Amirox incident).

Issue 1. When I hit the back button, your page keeps refreshing a 404 if the ban doesn't exist.

Ah, good catch. I know exactly why it does that, too. I'll work on fixing it later. Til then use the Home link in the bottom right.
 
Is there a possibility that you could add some kind of 'Browse A-Z' function? Especially since I sometimes don't remember the exact spelling of a user name.

Otherwise I love it!
 
We are truly living in the future now.

Ssh...
 
I don't know if the date should be required. I'd add something about Fistful's banning, but I have absolutely no clue what exact date that was. I think this will be a cool app in the future, though.
 
Asking to store offline data in Firefox. NOPE.avi
 
That said a certain forum member advertising his knock off forums might be an issue. You might want to filter it out, then again the mods might not care since it's off site, so to speak.
 
Damn, not many in there yet. Also, it would be nice if it pulled, say, their last 5 posts. Usually the reason for banning is in those last 3-5 posts.
