Crappy Ban Theater

Bad call Jim.

"dick" isn't censored, and how can you ban this guy before asking him to remove it.

[tuq]

Yeah that was ridiculous, LOL, but to be fair I've noticed his Loc: for awhile now and wondered how he got away with it.

If Jim banned him out of forum AND without warning that is pretty ridiculous though. Damn, even banning within forum and without warning is totally ridic from what I understand of this mod thing.

I am sorry if 'sucka dick y'all' is considered an appropriate location for a user. Two items regarding the one day suspension 'out of forum'. One, I thought user id's and location were site wide and 'not per forum'. Second, threads regarding the AP fiasco were moved to the Zoo and I believe back. I think the thread was in the Zoo but I could be mistaken.

Sorry if this was the wrong move but I don't think 'sucka my dick y'all' should be an acceptable location. If Mat, Ryan, etc feel differently than it is ok. On a side note this was in one of the ap threads that was likely to be linked to by major media. I was just trying to ensure 2+2 looked respectable and not like a juvenile site to media and new lurkers. This poster also had a lengthy list of notes where he has caused problems.

Thank you,

Jim Kuhn

JK,

"On a side note this was in one of the ap threads that was likely to be linked to by major media. I was just trying to ensure 2+2 looked respectable and not like a juvenile site to media and new lurkers."

They should temp mod you to sanitize BBV while this is in the news!

Citanul, adanthar, and Gildwulf have been doing a great job with those threads and keeping things on track. I don't think they need my help! I think I have read every related post these past few days. I have spent probably close to twenty hours just reading those posts. Wow!

Thank you,

Not that I care one way or the other but your avatar is birds pooping.

You called it, Jim. There's no categorical right or wrong.

No big deal, imo.

Banning someone for an offensive location is not banning them "out of forum."

[Jim Kuhn]

I would like to add that it would be possible certain uses of dick could be censored but it would have to be 'manually'. Dick is a very common name and examples include Dick Williams, Dick Van Dyke, Moby Dick, Dick Cheney, Dick Durbin, etc.

Thank you,
