The way I see it is they pay for and control the BB unconditionally and need supply no reasons, warnings, or whatnot. Though only one mod has answered a post of mine, and her moddy eyes didnn't look too terribly trollish to me.....
Hey, it's free to the public, so what's unfair?

I read this and all I hear is: "I feel like the mods and former mods are breaking the rules, but when I break the rules, I get punished in a way consistent with someone who breaks the rules!"

If you feel that you don't possess any of those three things...maybe just staying away from electronics all together would be ideal. Asking for a temp ban is like saying you need a caretaker to look after you because you're too lazy to care for yourself.
jus' sayin'.
I have no problem maintaining self discipline when I need to or want to. However I know it is not so easy for some.....that is why it is a popular option at some forums.

Give them a title "Self Banned"

How 'bout no?
Also, you necroposted for that? I get it: you're trying to show us how much self-discipline you've got. Good show; now try six months.

Surprising how easy it is to just PM an admin and have your request granted, without making such a public mess over it...
If you have a public "Ban Me" thread where request are made it serves as a public notification of why you are currently banned. Why should this be handled in a PM anyways?

What part of "no" did you not understand?

So? What if I couldn't? I'm not the one posturing my self-discipline. Also, it would sort of defeat the purpose of being on-staff.

Not everyone is a mod and you could always resign your position. Suppose this forum became your life and you realized that a healthy mind requires variety. Wouldn't it beneficial to have the option of requesting to be cutoff?.....At least temporarily?
There is no down side(that I can see) to having a "Ban Me" thread where people request temporary self bans.
