Can I request a temp Ban for a month?

Sorry CD.....I have my doubts.

Good thing the doubts of an uninformed person don't count for much. If we were to implement the change that you said, either we'd have to find some way to create an entirely new ban category just to mark out the self-bans from the regular ones, or we'd have to spend time trawling our voluminous archive of previous bans just to research whether prior bans were on request or not, every time we need to deliberate on taking action on a member with prior actions against them.

That's added onto the three or so reports we get every day, by the way.

Oh, and also? We're fucking volunteers, not paid drones at your behest. Satisfying your ego by implementing a frivolous additional function is not sufficient reason to do so, and since you don't get to demand that we do extra work for you, we don't have to. Any amount of extra work is you being a demanding tool to people giving up their time so you get a nice forum to visit, so where exactly do you get off acting like it's something you're owed?
