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.

 

[Esch]

Is this real life?

 

[Tron 2.0]

All kinds of great.

 

[entremet]

wow.

 

[Saren is Bad]

fuck. yes.

 

[The Frankman]

Is this real life?

... or is this fantasy?

 

[ConradCervantes]

FanTASTIC.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

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

Andrex:
Banned for making a web app to check why users were banned from Neogaf.

 

[lethial]

People are actually that interested in some anonymous forum user? Wow.

 

[mingus]

Amazing. Now us juniors can actually learn something.

 

[SolKane]

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?

 

[Spire]

I'm now predicting people will be banned for things said about their bans.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Idea for an extension: when a member's title reads "Banned," link that to their page on this web app. Maybe for another day.

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?

The former. Can't check post histories still.

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

 

[Technosteve]

if a jr gets banned they are forever banned.

 

[skybaby]

Case-sensitive? I knew your ban you be there hehe

 

[victreeb3l]

dude this is pretty sweet

andrex for president

 

[StuBurns]

Nothing for fistful, this is amateur hour.

This thing doesn't know, so I'll just ask, why is Trent Strong banned?

 

[SolKane]

The former. Can't check post histories still.

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).

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.

 

[clav]

Whoa Andrex.

Are you funding the site url and hosting for this?

 

[Seda]

If we just had post history we wouldn't need this

 

[Boss Doggie]

So it doesn't show old bans eh, only current ones?

 

[Saren is Bad]

So it doesn't show old bans eh, only current ones?

if someone goes back and puts them in it does

No problem. Just thought I would point out a bug for you.

 

[Milchjon]

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!

 

[That Singer Guy...]

*chuckles a little*

This thread will be fun.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Whoa Andrex.

Hosting is free from Iris Couch. Bought the domain earlier today for $8, so it basically only costs 8 bucks a year.

 

[entremet]

So it doesn't show old bans eh, only current ones?

It's user generated. Think wikipedia for GAF bans.

 

[Technosteve]

this site would be more interesting if we can bet on how and when a member will get banned. Or some how the site can predict it

 

[Pancakes]

We are truly living in the future now.

 

[Bentendo]

Can you give us some names to look up?

 

[Tomat]

I'm gonna go ahead and say this won't last >_>

Ssh...

 

[NGAMER9]

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.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

Ssh...

Awesome. Really nice job Andrex.

sure:

opa-opa

[Uno Venova]

Cool.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

No fistful, no icecream =/

 

[TheSeks]

Asking to store offline data in Firefox. NOPE.avi

 

[Bentendo]

*Google.com

*Search for "Epic Mickey :site:neogafbans.com"

Your search - Epic Mickey :site:neogafbans.com - did not match any documents"

Site is obviously flawed.

 

[renitou]

Cute idea. I've always felt spoiled by SA's Leper's Colony.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

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.

 

[Barrett2]

Thanks Andrex, i'll check it out.

 

[necrolysis]

This. Definitely this.

 

[bengraven]

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.

 

[Milchjon]

Ssh...

Nice.
