I agree I think you've been fine,thats why I dont like this new policy which veers into content descisions.

Also, making a new rule then permabanning people for violating it is pure nonsense, unless I don't understand what happened with 4 drug and chad.

GA,

They weren't banned for violating that rule.

They both made stupid, trollish/insulting posts, and when I popped open their mod notes they'd both been suspended about 3 times each. It bugs the crap out of me when posters just keep skirting around easy to follow rules and then bitch when they/they're homies get called on it.

Given that a perma ban is hardly a forum death sentence, I'm not wild about giving people too many chances. If you really value whatever equity you've built up with your current account, then don't be an [censored], don't dodge the censor, don't post porn, etc. It's not hard.

I'll take a look back and both of their accounts and reduce the bans to some extent later today.

They made stupid trollish insulting posts? Thats a bannable offence? To whom were the remarks directed?

i thought this forum was created so the stupid trollish posts could go here instead of cluttering up BBV....if i am wrong please enlighten me

No it was for the stupid trollish posts that were not about poker. Now it is for serious business and blogs.

You are wrong.

Is not and never has been the anything goes forum.

GA,

Chad made a retarded photoshop of me and kyle. It failed the "if you're going to flame people, at least be funny" test. I forget exactly what 4drug said, but it was something in that thread that pissed me off. It's more about the body of their work and about making a point.

Well, thanks for clearing that up.

Cliff notes:
Someone made fun of you, you decide that they are a bad poster based on their modnotes, you ban them.

C'mon dude, thats really not cool in any way and goes against what you promised to do as the mod of this place.

Pull your skirt up nancy, tbh.

Ok F*** this, there has been a repeating cycle of this happening. Something goes wrong, regulars get banned, we have a couple hours of drama...repeat repeat repeat.

Cant we all come to some F****** terms or agreement?

Dids · #**159** 10-09-2007, 11:17 AM

GA,

We'll have to agree to disagree on that. It's not just that I was made fun of, and I think that should be clear given the number of peopel who do that that I don't ban.

Another reason it's stupid to move threads about bbv4l into ATF is that everytime we do some politard (or even Mat S!) says "Why does that forum even exist if it causes so much trouble?" Us degens would rather settle it here with mods who understand the point of this place rather than cause admins to consider just nuking us all.
