[F] Ban length [C-Michael83] - Matt - 2008-10-24
More of something to be improved upon than a bug.
If you add a new warning level, and choose to ban, the options for ban length are Hour(s), Day(s), Week(s), Month(s), and then Never. Surely 'Never' should be 'Permanent', as I assume that option it meant to mean it never expires. Just might be confusing for some people if they can set a ban length to never.

I suppose it's opinion... in plain english, it will read "Expires: Never". Although I do agree with you lol - it should read "Permanent" to make it easier for people to understand.

Well the setting name is 'Ban Length', and a ban length can't be never. It either has a permanent length or never expires.

Forever is also suitable.
