Why Dagip was banned over dice threads

[DaGip]

Okay, don't ban me! But really why does DaGip get banned for posting a Dice Suck thread and nobody else does?

My first post got labeled as SPAM and locked down, so I posted another thread and it immediately got locked down. So in protest, I posted another damn thread and it gets locked and I get a friggin' three day bannage from the forums!

But all of a sudden someone can post A Petition that Dice Suck thread and none of the mods even raise a freakin' eyebrow!

Just peculiar, that's all...and completely unfair to the rest of us individuals that have been griping about Dice Suck for awhile now. But yet you silence DaGip but not others!

Nazi mods, that's all I got to say...Nazi moderation!

Much peace,

Lovable DaGip

[White Moose]

I dont think you calling the moderators nazis will improve anything

[MeDeFe]

But the question is valid, why are DaGip's Dice threads so much worse than everyone else's?

[meathead]

More importantly, why does he talk about himself in the 3rd person?

[DaGip]

I don't know how else to put it...I guess preferential treatment to others than DaGip?

I don't think you quite understand. I posted legitimate Dice Suck threads and had them all locked down for alleged spamming and then I got BANNED for three freakin' days!

My threads were no different then the ones that have been creeping in from time to time, it's just some mods might not like my sense of humor or something...but regardless, I didn't say ANYTHING in my Dice Suck threads that isn't said in any of these other ones, matter of fact, they locked them down so fast that they didn't even have time to flourish!

I never said anything offensive to anyone in those threads, i was kind and courteous...some people might have been offset by the shock value of my humor, but it was harmless and wasn't driven to offend anyone.

Here was my first Dice Suck Thread that got a few people riled up over NOTHING, as you can all bear witness:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=44933&p=1163983&hilit=dice+suck#p1163983

Then after that thread got locked down, I figured maybe the mods were a little touchy over the 9-11 being an Inside Job issue, so I reposted and edited my poll so as it wouldn't be considered possible offensive (of which I don't even think the FIRST thread was offensive!):
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=44951&p=1164454&hilit=dice+suck#p1164454

Then that one got locked right away! That didn't make any sense to me, so Owenshooter gave me a good idea, so I posted (a little out of protest, but you must understand my emotions at this juncture) my final Dice Suck thread in which I would hope would remain a PERMANENT THREAD so people who have dice suck stories and dice suck gripes can QUIT clogging up the forums with DICE SUCK THIS and DICE SUCK THAT.

It would have been good for the CC community to have such a thread...but NOOOOOO, DaGip gets a nasty email saying he is going to get banned for three days and that should teach him a lesson or two! Hmmph!

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=45008&p=1165950&hilit=dice+suck#p1165950

I just demand the same treatment for everyone. If I can't post a Dice Suck thread, then everyone else needs to follow suit. They should be private messaged and warned, have their threads locked, and then banned if they post anymore Dice Suck threads!

Justice is all I am saying...how about a little justice instead of preferential treatment?

Based on your posts, I'd guess you've had very little experience with forums in general.

Your two dice threads were not serious at all. Other threads about dice are attempts at being serious about the dice (though honestly they almost all have no basis in true probability. they just say 'look at these bad rolls. these dice are obviously bad'). If you can't see the difference between yours and other dice threads, then I can't help you.

Additionally, in 99% of internet forums making a thread about another thread that has been locked is going to be locked itself. Furthermore, being banned for continually making threads that get locked is normal practice as well. Don't make the 'jobs' of volunteers difficult.

First off, I build tractor cabs for a living, I don't go around analyzing dice. All I can do is put my two cents in and say,"Yep, the dice suck..."

Then you and all the smarter people than DaGip are supposed to chime in and say,"I sit around and roll imaginary dice twenty hours a day for the past five years and Conquer CLub's dice generator is shite!"

I am not a serious player. I don't get all riled up over facts, statistics, and numbers. I just want to have fun. This is called ENTERTAINMENT. You should learn the meaning of the word.

The fact is that my threads weren't even given a chance to become serious, they were just locked down out of spite, because the mods have favoritism towards apparently smarter intellectual types like yourself and they like to bastardize lowly tractor cab builders as stupid ignorant buffoons who aren't allowed the same privilege to post amidst the keener minds that are allowed into General Discussion.

There is the very taste of elitism in the forums if you haven't quite figured it out. But of course you will deny it, because you are probably in cahoots with them.

And this thread will probably get locked JUST because you, as an elitist boot licker, have spewed it out of your sopping elitist lips.

LOL Dagip... if you want your threads taken seriously, then you need to START them that way, not as spam. Threads don't BECOME serious, they start that way. Your threads were jokes because they started that way. If we lock a thread, don't start another one on the same topic, because surprise surprise, that'll get locked too. And if you keep doing it, and don't "get" that message to stop, we'll put you on a timeout to help you get it.

Rubbish!

They were very serious business indeed.

Where does the rules say that: Every thread MUST have a serious tone about it or expect it to be counted as SPAM...?

My thread was just as serious as any of these other whiner cry baby dice suckers out there, and I expect them to be PMed, Locked Down, Man Handled (or Woman Handled in your particular case), and possibly receive a time out or even bannage. My threads did not deserve to be locked down and I demand they be unlocked and placed back on the board.

My Dice Suck just as bad as mister I Got A Petition For All You Dice Sucking Whiners To Sign and I expect him to be PMed about spamming the board with Dice Suck stories immediately!

Just make ONE THREAD for Dice Suck Sympathy Stories...that's ALL I ask!

And treat all other Dice Suck threads with equal scrutiny, not just because you think that one person is stupid and the other is being supra-intelligent by sitting at his computer and testing thousands upon thousands of imaginary virtual dice rolls for weeks on end.

Dice Suck...simple as that! You don't got to be a freakin' Dice scientist for crying out loud!

It's not. You're the one saying you were hoping someone else would make it serious even though you started it as a joke. You weren't banned for making a joke thread, you were banned for making three after you were previously banned for spamming. Now suck it up and move on.

I demand this be defined as TROLLING! I didn't come into your Petition CC Because The Dice Are Broke thread and call you names, all I did was make a statement that it was unfair that my Dice Suck threads got locked and that the moderation was shit for doing it. You coming into my thread to discuss that particular issue and usher insults is quite uncalled for, and I demand an immediate apology.

Trolling is definitely disallowed according to CC Forum Guidelines. I expect PM's to be sent immediately before this is considered flame wars. The discussion here has been appropriately civil until you decided to throw around names that are not only ignorant and hurtful to individuals, but entirely sexist as well.

So give us break.

[wicked]

hulmey no flaming.

I didn't start the thread as a joke, I only started the thread with a little humor in the poll options. A very simple start to a more serious debate on Dice Sucking that has been long coming.

I believe the real reason my thread got locked was because my poll options had 9-11 references in it...big deal. I considered it funny as did others. A few might have been offended, but that is their political view. I offered other options as well.

I started the second thread, because I thought Andy was a Bush/NeoCon bootlicker, and if I edited out the 9-11 jazz and just focussed on the issue at hand (via Dice Suck) that we could have had a really good discussion on how bad the Dice Suck around here!

Then my second thread was locked, and my emotions ran high. So, I decided to post a third thread out of protest that day, and you guys decided that was worth a three day ban, when it should have never been locked down in the first or second place!

I was never banned for spamming before that. Twill made a mistake, I complied with your PM that day, Twill just didn't read the dates and times of my posts in accordance to your PM. So your guys' ban files are off by one bannage instance.

And the Dice Suck incident shouldn't even have been considered fodder for a bannage, all you mods had to do was just leave one of the threads be, because there was absolutely nothing wrong with these threads....NOTHING!

[hulmey]

im very sorry dagrip....im not trolling , im reminding you why you got banned and thread locked...personally i think its coz u want to free norse and the mods hate him
