Approved Change ban reasons from /votemenu

[Cylosis]

As in, instead of the ban reason displaying voteban hacking, it would instead display Hacking (voteban) to alleviate confusion.
I've had to explain to players several times that "voteban" is just a prefix for "hacking" to let us know it was done via /votemenu.
They often assume a voteban for hacking is a ban for hacking the voteban.

Yeah it's always amazed me how people can be so stupid as to not understand what "Voteban Hacking" means...

 

[Sharkey]

Just add a colon or something. "Voteban: Hacking"

 

[VEGAN DAD]

Just add a colon or something. "Voteban: Hacking"

this, easy fix

 

[mittens]

The problem is that it says

"Ban Soapy for reason Voteban Hacking"

Instead of

"Ban Soapy for reason Hacking" or "Ban Soapy for Hacking"

So people go "derp what's voteban hacking?"

Bottiger has it set up this way intentionally.

It says
"Ban Soapy for reason Voteban Hacking"
To let everyone know that a vote was called to get the person banned. Not an admin or something else.

So you go to sourcebans and it says voteban hacking as the reason. This tells us he got vote-banned and the reason was for hacking.

"Ban Soapy for reason Voteban Hacking"

Instead of

"Ban Soapy for reason Hacking" or "Ban Soapy for Hacking""

you can't prove nutin.

Colon still wouldn't hurt.

Edit: Also, it warms my heart to think of the idiots on-server going, "But I didn't hack the voteban!" "I wasn't racist toward the voteban system!"

That makes sense but it could still be changed to "Hacking (voteban)" like OP suggests.

Or something similar.

I don't find this to be a huge deal because most people aren't that stupid. But a simple rewording wouldn't hurt at all.

+1, just add a colon, all that's needed

 

[KillerZebra]

I was just stating why it was that way.
i never liked the wording of it to begin with, i just never had a better idea for it. a colon would be good.

 

[Morbuzka]

+1 I was even thinking of making this suggestion myself, but someone beat me to it. I used to be confused as hell when it said "Voteban Griefing" I used to be like "How the fuck do you grief a voteban system?"

 

[ModSe7en]

+1 thinly disguised bump

 

[Vidanjor]

i have to tell, first time i saw it i thought the same thing, +1

 

[ModSe7en]

Deserves a bump.

 

[This Name Is False]

Guess I didn't +1 this yet, thought I did but here, +1.

 

[Tomatketchup]

"I wasn't racist toward the voteban system!"

I think black votebans are disgusting.

 

[Sharkey]

bump

The wording IS a little awkward.

 

[Shula]
