How many people have you banned?

[Belthazar]

Simple question . How many people (estimated) have you ever banned in your webmaster life? I really have no idea. I've banned 100s on a dead political forum I was staff on. What about you?

I've banned many, many members. Way too much to count. In the past, I've encountered, hackers, people who steal content, trolls, general rule breakers, and many different types of users. I don't personally enjoy banning because you are losing a member and activity, however, it's for the best of the forum that they're gone. Losing a member is much better than losing multiple people because of the banned user's actions.

I don't remember the number count, but have banned many. Most of them were actually the ones who were posting content like spam, so I was left with no option other than to ban them. Some of them were even didn't care to read the PM's I sent them to stop posting them.

I have been involved in quite a few forums over the past six years, and I have no idea how many people I have banned. It is a very large number, there's probably been a few hundred. I dealt with a lot of nonsense back when I was running a sports forum on ProBoards.

I've banned tons of members.

Probably in the 100s range.

Not really sure at the moment.

Not sure, but a lot. I manage a forum and I moderate comments and ban people every morning. This frustrates me sometimes, but there is no other option. I believe they even expect to be banned.

Somewhere in the 200's, probably closer to 300 but I honestly do not have a clue. I will say however I have unbanned more people than I have banned. =P

I banned 4 people on the forum and countless people on the Google+ community. A user DDoSed my forum, Spambotted my forum, I reported him to there ISP and added him to a database called StopForumSpam. He then ban evaded on 4 accounts, I banned the other 3 and the proxies he was using.

 

[Cryckit]

I have banned so many people over the years that I've lost count. A lot of users that I've banned were hardcore spammers, while others were due to other issues such as arguments going way too far and so on.
