Computer nerds, roll out!

Ah okay I also hope that some people do realize that even though the staff are the ones who watch over the site doesn’t make them any different from regular users like we’re not the only ones who have to follow the rules everyone has to follow the rules just like how it is with normal citizens and the police the police maybe the authority but they also have to follow the law regardless whether if there the authority or not.
 
Hopefully none of the staff find this offensive or anything I’m just trying to make a point.
 
I really do like the staff here and I would never do anything to offend someone.
 
Love you.

One can leave staff without being banned, or alternatively be banned without leaving staff, so no, they’re separate things.
 
It’s very different from the real world, primarily because everyone on staff does it voluntarily, we’re not “working” on derpibooru all day every day, for some it’s barely even once a week, so there’s no quota, and no punishment if someone wants to take some time off.
 
Staff generally ask to be banned as a way to force themselves to take a break sometimes, or other miscellaneous reasons.
 
If someone goes rogue and majorly fucks up somehow, then yeah they might get a ban in the process of being removed from staff.
 
Bans are no big deal anyway, it’s easy to remove them.

I don’t think it’s called getting banned if you’re a staff member I think it mostly just means getting fired because that’s how it works for staff in the real world if they can’t do there job then they can’t keep their job.
 
Trust me I’ve learned all about jobs in school.

Fun fact, on Wikipedia an administrator accidentally banned site founder Jimbo Wales indefinitely. It was quickly reverted but said admin was sent to the stocks (WP:STOCKS of you want to see)

@klystron2010  
I mean, you’re not wrong.

@Trixie  
Off by one letter.

o/ When they're alone they ||ban|| themselves, ah ah ah! o/

@Trixie  
I knew it

We ban each other for fun.

@Background Pony #6944  
No.

@northern haste  
Wait. Is this boi actually banned?

@ArmadilloEater  
Deal.

@Derpyfan  
I’ll do it for 5 derpi bucks.

@Burger King Leonidas  
You don’t pay attention to who else is running the site.

How do you even pull that off?

@Kane  
I don’t think that’s possible.

Now what if you accidentally ban the owner?

@ArmadilloEater  
The mystery of you strange creatures rages on

@Ponies from the underground  
“In charge”, peh, only in the same way Queen Elizabeth is in charge of the UK. Figure heads, the lot of ’em, they have no power here!
 
@Mellow Rhythm  
I will neither deny or confirm that.

@ArmadilloEater  
I believe I’ve witnessed instances of you guys mentioning that you temporarily ban each other for shits and giggles sometimes.  
Is this true?

@northern haste  
Not that I know of but I can just imagine how embarrassing this would be if it actually did happen because just remember that the admins are the ones who are in charge.

@northern haste  
Yes. Only it wasn’t accidental.
