As an admin of the ibis community for over a year, and a long standing member, I think this new banning process takes way too long and is extremely cumbersome. It takes over 10 mins to post a ban thread now. It is ridiculous. I just banned a blatant hacker in WCS and I am seriously dreading posting a ban request. I have to download the demo from the ftp server, then literally go right back and upload it. I have to take the time to figure out every small detail and post in a special way or basically my ban is null. It seriously makes me want to ban hackers for a few hours, just because of the sheer pain in the ass it is to get the ban upgraded to permanent.

Seriously, before it was literally a min or two and it was a done deal, now it's a long drawn out process. I miss the old system. /end rant
