Well said, SomeRandom!

By the way, I've been in touch with Rudy...

He's only got three words for all of you and it's not "I love you"

Is it "I MADE COOKIES!!!!" ?

personalreality · May 14, 2011, 17:19:04

i'm sure it's a temp ban firstly, more like a suspension.

i don't know why, but i can bet that it was because he repeatedly made personal attacks. xanth told us to stop making personal attacks and he kept arguing and he didn't stop. so that's my guess.

but who knows. maybe he posted something really inflammatory and xanth just deleted the post before we saw it. that has happened with other people in the past.

if you do speak to him summer, let him know that i really am sorry about the bigot comment, it was out of line and unfounded.

Do you solemnly swear that you will always support and agree with whatever Summerlander says?

He's probably wondering where his 37 virgins are

Instead he received white raisins...

Rudy did the same thing on astral viewers... He actually posted a comment along the lines of "I thought your forum was more civil than most I have encountered"...

It seems he's completely unaware that it is he that's provoking.

nicely handled though guys.

personalreality · May 14, 2011, 18:02:25

i didn't handle it nicely.

i provoked him until he exploded.

that wasn't a very nice thing to do.

HA!

Here's a message from Rudy:

"Xanth just gave me a warning and deleted two of my posts saying they violated policy but no details were provided.

Of course I violated no policy.

These mush fer brains leftists are terrified little kittens"

Calling Xanth a "mush for brain leftie" will do it, yup

^ That's why he was banned.

I wasn't about to continue to allow him to abuse the people of this forum with his verbal trash. I asked him to tone it down three times. He refused. As a single moderator (hell even when it was Stookie and myself) I don't have the time to moderate at channel 24/7 to make sure people play nice. I gave him chances... he blew them all.

I don't ban people. People ban themselves by their actions. Don't be a jerk... treat the other forum members with the respect they deserve... and follow the rules clearly posted at the top of the page. How hard is that to understand?

Also, if anyone really has any problems with any actions I do take... please feel free to PM Adrian.

I *CAN* make his removal temporary if everyone agrees. It's up to you guys, you'll be the ones mostly interacting with him. Let me know. In the absence of a full moderator team, I don't mind doing things this way.

Xanth · May 14, 2011, 18:48:51

Quite simply... when I PM someone to ask them to please respect our forum rules and they get back to me with the equivalent of "Screw you" along with his continuing smart butt comments... well, you do the math.

Instead of doing the math, can't I just register for an account on a math forum and start a new thread asking them to do the math FOR me? Without ever picking up a math book or even googling the word math?

That's how forums work, right?

lol

LOL Touche.

In any case, at the request of a couple individual, I've reduced his ban to a one week temporary ban.

Summerlander · May 14, 2011, 20:14:27

Make it three individuals. Give him another chance. If he fucks up again, ban him for good. I'll tell him the news. I can't say it's good news on his part because he might be too snooty to come back. We'll see. I'll let you guys know what he said.

Dude, can you not go three posts without swearing? You're like a sailor or something... ROFL
I've already notified him. You don't have to say a thing.

Is it possible to ban someone over the period of a year? I mean, the difference between a week and permanent is quite big. In a year people get to think things over. With a perm ban, there is nothing to do right the next time, as there is no next time.

Because there are ways around it.

Which I should probably fix.

You're a Green then!!

personalreality · May 15, 2011, 12:20:56

you know, i'm not an anarchist, i do believe in some form of government.

but certainly not "democracy" or pretty much anything that goes on in our world today.

i'm down with plato and the whole philosopher-king idea.

like shaman's from the old religion, the "before-time". they were basically the leaders of the tribe. they chose the king and they mediated the energies of the otherworlds for the betterment of the tribe.

our excuse for politics today is pathetic imo, and anyone who thinks there is any virtue in our modern political system is just plain dumb in my mind. i don't blame you, it's not your fault, this is how you were raised. doesn't mean it's the best option though.
