Pending Bullshit Ban

[Funkyterrance]

Yeah, welcome to OT lol.

You undo yourself, sir.

Huh? I'm not denying my contributions, just saying it's part of the package.

Necrobumping is one of the most stupid rules here. I don't know if there's one more stupid than that.

Even more stupid when you consider the nature of this subforum.

Since when is it a crime to post Nirvana lyrics?

You misunderstand. The fact that you put Nirvana lyrics is what kept us from banning you. We are all suckers for Nirvana.

Honestly, if you all feel this way. I will bring it up with the admins and at least in this forum allow necro as long as you aren't doing it excessively and just spamming. I am not saying you were, but this has actually happened.

Nobody is getting banned right? Isn't that the point of this thread or is it the thread being locked or is it a rally against the objection to spam in the first place? Why all this hubbub when pimpdave gets banned for more or less the same thing? If you prick him does he not bleed?
Lets get rid of all the rules. What's the point in any of them anyway? I want to start flaming at will, necro bumping up a storm and spamming to all get out. It could be fun! Honestly I'd rather have no-holds barred than partiality. Anything less than obviously equal treatment just looks bad. It's fced up how certain players get silenced for "bad behavior".
I've been obeying the rules more or less all this time for what? I've watched people get reprimanded for the stupidest petty shit now I'm seeing a really relaxed reaction to this particular case. Make up your minds? If we are going to say fc the rules, why not go all out?

Good luck finding local support.

Damn, I figured I could count on you at least BBS.

When was pimpdave banned for necro-bumping?

Hmm...
Well, he wasn't banned for necro-bumping but neither will Aog be. Pimpdave got banned for excessive spam right? His tea-party thingies. If you take the sum total of Pimpdave's spam threads and that of Aog's five million 2 and 3 word spam posts wouldn't we have just about a balanced scale? Pimpdave's relative harmlessness seems about on par with Aog's and I don't condone bans tbh but it just is hard for us players to see the system in place at times like these. I understand that mods, etc. are obligated to respond to what is reported and don't necessarily have any preferences but sometimes it's just difficult to watch two equally naughty children, one romping the hallways while the other sits in the corner.

I understand the desire for clarity.
I think the ban for all of those threads was before I was a mod. I will state the difference clearly. By creating a ton of threads about the same thing, regardless of substance, pushes all of the other threads down. Causing annoyance and what not. This isn't allowed in the chat either. That is spam.
AoG more or less posts in topics that discussions are ongoing. This necro is the first I have seen from him and even though it seemed random it actually had a purpose. A good one? I don't know, but some purpose.
We are also under new management, so we are trying to continually gauge and adapt to this new flow. I have been as candid as I can with all of you and I try to give good explanations. If you don't think they are clear let me know. If I don't know the answer, or my answer isn't satisfactory, then I will ask above me.

Can someone tell me why I was banned and had to pay 25 fucking dollars to play online risk again????

I wish! That mans pectorals are like omfggg

[xeno]

It just irks me because I've mostly kept up my same shenanigans I've been doing the past couple years and I'm banned randomly. I called a cook a c*** but other than that I can't think of what I've done..

You can have those yourself, xeno. Those are surgical implants.

That seems to be the reason, you were banned 2 minutes after doing that....

seems a little too harsh..

maybe kgreen is banging El_Jefe or blowing rds.

Rds has had it out for me for a little while now. The banning was more than harsh from my point of view but I think his thinking was that It wasn't the first time he warned me for verbally abusing other players.

[nietzsche]

seems to be 9 hours after it not 2 minutes, don't know where i got 2 minutes from.

Are you really wanting to know or just pandering pity?
If you really are unsure I can post the reason here or I can pm them to you.
Looking through the record though the rules you chose to break were the same one every infraction.

Then I'm still not sure as to why I was banned. I know this site is on its last leg and the mods are still over regulating. They just need to chill and let the people govern themselves. I mean the owner doesn't even come here anymore..

Ah, I forgot to put party. I was distracted. Pandering a pity party. I like alliterations.

The point of the rules is to keep this a place where people like to come and discuss things. If every rule were removed then a large proportion of members would probably start avoiding this place. There are plenty of forums with almost no rules if that's what you're after.

Just because there is a need for some rules doesn't mean the current rules have been handed down by the heavenly FSM on tablets of gold. The rule against necro-bumping doesn't make sense. The case it seems to be guarding against (i.e. bumping 20 old threads) already falls under flooding/spamming, so there's no need for the extra rule and it should therefore be removed.

Did ... did I just see a mod actually explore the reasoning of a ruling and not just stonewall us or say "them's the rules" ....



Btw:

spam: unsolicited usually commercial e-mail sent to a large number of addresses

Posting silly replies is not spamming. I don't know why so many people use it that way. Posting a silly reply is not against the rules.
Dave was banned for flooding.
