Do moderator warnings apply to all sections of the board? Meaning… if a moderator announces that someone is a sneeze away from a banning in one part of the board, are they that close to a banning in the other parts? ---

IANAM but I’m going to go ahead and say yes. In fact, I’d bet it’s happened more than a few times. ---

Yes, **Necro Romancer** , warnings apply across all forums. All warnings are documented centrally. If you believe you have a strong case that we may have overlooked, send us an email and we’ll review it. - **xash** General Questions Moderator ---

So, what you’re really asking is, “If Mommy says NO!, should I ask Daddy?” … and the answer is what **xash** says: Moderators talk amongst ourselves and document (internally) warnings and alerts. ---

To clarify further, it’s not possible to be banned from one part of the board at a time. Or rather, it might conceivably be possible, but it’s never done here. Banned in one forum is banned in them all. ---

Banned in one forum is banned in them all. It’s possible to do this from the admin control panel. I can allow and disallow someone into various forums. I’ve only done this once, though, when someone decided he didn’t want to be tempted to post in the Pit. I don’t think that anyone else has had his forum permissions altered like that. In every other instance, if I ban someone, I ban him from the SDMB as a whole, as they’re being jerkish enough that we don’t want them on ANY board.
