these three arent really the same
the 'admin section banned' is a place where admins can discuss the bans in detail without embarrassing the other players involved (in cases where we post logs for example) and without getting 30 additional post from 'concerned' players on every ban or 'soon to be ban'
it is also used for general notification of who you banned, this is seen and used by admins only
sort of like underground Walt Disney World, no one needs to see ALL the workings of the community and how we get the magic to work and keep the servers clean
The HALL of Shame is notification to the community that we 'got' the person they XXX in the logs and others that were bothering people, I use to get multiple PMs and emails from players asking if "player" had been taken care of, it was easier just to post one time that the malcontent was gone (only admins/moderators can post there) This is not used so much since we have mIRC and could be deleted or leave it so people can see what happened to their "friends"
it also reinterates the kind of players that are banned from the servers
and the 'banned' forum is where those that are banned can plead their case and is visible to guests and the community to post in.
The only people that those forums look redundant to are the admins, sorry about that:(
