People go to jail if they land on the "GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL. DO NOT PASS GO" space :lol:


But seriously, I think only the admins can send someone to jail when he/she break the rules, i.e. post spam comments or such.

Crowd: "Sue Weasel! Sue Weasel" :D


Hmm...if people can sue, I wonder if I could become a lawyer. I'd really pull in the big bucks then!

You can't exactly sue people, but if a member breaks the rules consistantly, rather than ban that person, we have the choice to put them in jail. Depending on the severity of their ban, we can either leave them in prison for a set period of time or a member of the board can pay their bail and release them.

You see, my good people, this Town is so small, that the Courthouse is used to lock up criminals, instead of a jail.

Well the courthouse is where you pay bail... or "judge" users of their crime (you can cast a ballot of innocent or guilty). The Jail is still where prisoners are held, it just so happens you need to visit the courthouse before you can release prisoners.

That's a cool idea.........one that hasn't been done on other boards yet.

I'm assuming someone banned (or "in prison") isn't able to post until they are out of prision?


Peace Out

Why did Mr. Whit get locked up? Did the member with Whit as his/her SN really break rules or that was a planned fun thing to play a story on the board??

When Bennett Charles took over the Town of Odyssey, he imprisoned Mr. Whittaker, along with David Harley. :mecry:

Top, I think you should keep an eye on this one. A potential disturber of the peace, she is. :noway:
