I agree. Don't like it, you can always log out. The bias views and wishy washy rules are what's driving people away from here. When I spend my hard earned money to support this place like I have since I've joined then they basically slap everyone in the face it kinda pisses me off. |

Lets not get this thread locked, they are purging all discussion of what happened yesterday from the site. So back on track lets post more banned retreads.  Quote HistoryQuoted:

GoatBoy asked for discussion of this "list" nonsense to end yesterday--and asked us to lock threads discussing it further. So, locked. He seems to be enjoying it at least. |

I have the feeling the new "no trolling" rule is going to be selectively enforced in a predictable manner. You should start your own forum and enforce your own rules.

This site has received thousands of my dollars. Not tens, not hundreds, thousands. Selective enforcement of the ambiguous "no trolling" rule will make my future decisions as to which sites I support very easy. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I appreciate your faith, but I'm not quite sure what you are asking. If you mean the "signal" guy, he deserved it. I/we always hate to see ANYONE banned, but there are rules which must be obeyed. Site bans are not taken lightly, not done capriciously, and never done by one staffer only. They are ALL reviewed by at least one sr. staffer, and most often by all three of us (EdAvilaSr, Striker, myself). Our default position is to find a reason to keep the member, but the ultimate decision lies with the staffer who locked him. They can be overruled (only by EdAvilaSr), but that is very rare, as the staff knows the protocols, and are very scrupulous in the actions taken.  O'rly?!  Interesting.... ETA: Ive suspected some things going on behind the scenes that may have came to light lately. And Smiley (unintentionally, Im sure) left out a couple key words for the real reason my name is in the OP.

Shit, brother, I definitely know those feels Funny story bout that. Actually made a friend out of my stupid posting. I was having a really bad day one night. Got some shit ripped off of my car. Had a few to blow off some steam. Which turned into a few too many. Quoted a post kind of shit talking a guy he quoted. Next morning see an IM. Think 'Oh fuck.. whatd I type?' Luckily it was the member I quoted asking 'WTF?! Was that directed at me?!' Explained what happened, and he understood and we had a laugh. But I learned that exact lesson that night! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: O'rly?! Interesting.... ETA: Ive suspected some things going on behind the scenes that may have came to light lately. And Smiley (unintentionally, Im sure) left out a couple key words for the real reason my name is in the OP. So alls Ill say is I like the site, and asked Stryker nicely to allow me back in, and he was very gracious about doing it. But, hmmm. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I appreciate your faith, but I'm not quite sure what you are asking. If you mean the "signal" guy, he deserved it. I/we always hate to see ANYONE banned, but there are rules which must be obeyed. Site bans are not taken lightly, not done capriciously, and never done by one staffer only. They are ALL reviewed by at least one sr. staffer, and most often by all three of us (EdAvilaSr, Striker, myself). Our default position is to find a reason to keep the member, but the ultimate decision lies with the staffer who locked him. They can be overruled (only by EdAvilaSr), but that is very rare, as the staff knows the protocols, and are very scrupulous in the actions taken. O'rly?! Interesting....

Sounds like the system worked. Is that what you are saying? Otherwise I'm lost.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
All I can say is a) welcome back, and b) I start 5x more posts than I click "Submit". Sometimes what's funny in my head, may not read as funny to other people. Sometimes, that guardian angel on my shoulder deploys his nightstick and my finger hits Cancel instead. I wish he'd just tug on my ear, or something. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Sounds like the system worked. Is that what you are saying? Otherwise I'm lost. Yep, the system did work. I was hoping what I was saying wouldnt get jumbled into that. Stryker and I exchanged emails, I explained my side (I took a 3 month break in the mean time) and he said a lot of what you said. You guys (Staff) dont like to ban members, dont like to see them go, etc. Stryker (and Staff by proxy) was very good to me. Ive just wondered if Stryker happened across my post, or a group of others may have mass reported it, making it seem bigger than it was. As Smiley put 'It was a misunderstanding of terms." I had no ill intent in the post that got me nailed. Edit:Clarification |
