Dave A was let back. What's the statute or limitations? Can we sponsor Monroe into a similar program?


He has had twice the chances Dave_A was given.

I assure you he will not be returning.


I took a peek in there, and was amazed by what I saw.

BushBoar is a mod of the Legal subforum (who knew) and AeroE is a mod in a bunch of the Armory subforums.

The mod icon only shows up when the user is posting in a forum that they are a mod of.  Makes sense, given that mod authority is forum-specific.

I would have expected Aimless. But now that I'm thinking about it, I guess that would be like a gynecologist staring at hoohoos all day then coming home to stare at some more.

Aimless is also a mod in that subforum.  They are the only two.  You can check by clicking that yellow triangle next to the count of Topics while on the General page, or if you're on the forum page itself, clicking the triangle next to the name of the forum.   Look at the top of the GD page, where it says "General >> General Discussion".

We allow FAR MORE bashing of Islam, and derogatory comments about muslims than we do about any other religion, by a huge margin.

So yes, there is absolutely an uneven handling of the CoC when it comes to Islam and other religions.

As someone who got a timeout for saying unkind things about ROPers, I can't argue with the above. ARFCOM in general lets a LOT more things slide with negative comments about Muslims vs Christians or Jews.

The member who posted that is a moderator.



The mod tag only shows in the area they are responsible for but ALL mods can view warnings (they are considered confidential and that information is not allowed to be posted.)   We have close to 150 moderators on this site.

I always figured he was on some kind of meds, and every once in awhile skipped a dose and then came here and started posting.

He said that he hates Muslims, and wishes death upon them.  And called them goat rapers.



I don't think that's "nothing" on a site that has a specific prohibition about "posting derogatory comments of a religious nature."  Come on.  That prohibition is the VERY FIRST rule in the entire Code of Conduct, and he had such a long list of account violations (for all kinds of different stuff), that he clearly was VERY familiar with the Code of Conduct.



Furthermore, this was his third violation after being reluctantly allowed back, and after him PROMISING (yet again) to agree to follow the Code of Conduct.
I promise you, I am not over-dramatizing or lying.  There were several things in his past record that would undoubtedly have been instant bans for someone that wasn't as well liked as him.

It makes me question a site who ostensibly supports the second amendment so vehemently; yet they ignore the first in favor of censor at any given time.  "Their site, their rules etc." is just another name for progressive censorship.  Kudos to RM for stating shit the way he felt.  His valuable contribution to this site is obviously less important than political correctness.  Sad.

I'm a moderator at a science fiction publisher's web forums, WE certainly don't give that many chances to someone who fails to obey the rules.  Only one time were the moderators overruled about banning someone.  That person later made an ass of themselves to the publisher herself and not only got perma-banned but his special free access to all of their e-books was yanked as well (I forget how he'd gotten it).

I was once a member of a forum that had a very well defined point system for infractions (the thing read like a legal document, it was stupidly detailed and completely obnoxious.)





You earned a certain number of points for breaking certain rules, if you earned enough points, you got timeouts, and really bad shit got you a ban.





Thing was, that lots of earned infraction points had expiration dates, sort of like on your driving license.
