Banning is something done by a mod when someone is not following the guidelines, but asking to ban oneself - it's a mystery.
Not really a mystery, alchemist just answered your question. Comes down to personal situations
Yes it is a mystery. Alchemist said he did not know why a member would ask to be banned - it makes no sense. I have never seen such an option exist in any forums anywhere on the 'net. Could you give me any hypothetical reason a member would asked to be banned?
Sure some examples could be about to ctb, privacy/security reasons, some people may find the environment triggering, seeking recovery, the list goes on but its kept private so while the explanation may not be there I'd hardly call it a mystery in any cases I've seen. It's a useful function I'll likely use at some point
I'll take your word for it. Asking to be banned strikes me as being odd, but if it works for some than I guess that's what's important.
