OCD about ban appeal dates

butterflywolves

I'm sure when you read the subject of this you were like "Hmm? What does that mean?" Well it's just me being a bit OCD and I was wondering if anyone was noticing this too. If you have read some of the ban appeals, especially some ones by Trusteds they tend to say some like "I've been on this server for over a year" or some people "I've been banned for a year" One thing I've noticed is people tend to OVER exaggerate about this kinda stuff and it bugs me. If its June wand you've been on for over a year, why doesn't your join date say "May 2012" when it actually says "September 2012" I don't know how many people also see the ones where it says "I've been banned for over a year, please pardon me" and they've only been banned for 6 months. Maybe people are just so over come with themselves about the ban that they just can't wait a year to appeal. I don't know if anyone has seen this before or I just happen to be the only one that does it.

No matter what dates people throw around, the staff can easily check and find out =)

I'll check and see if they have a legitimate date, and if they dont i usually will keep it to myself. Staff members most likely check anyway.


Edit - ninja-ed my post dk

My favourite was on one of the suggestion topics. Started with: "I've been on this server for 2 years, and I've noticed that..."

His join date was about 3 days before the post was made.

Just saying, the join date on the forums DOES NOT signify their join date on the server... Just in my occasion I registered before i joined the server... lols

True, but it's the only evidence anyone really has for someone's join date.

I do realize the staff checks. I just think it's funny people think the staff won't check and go with what they say
