Banned Users

[koonja]

I want to point out that I mentioned certain posters having rap sheets in the mod lounge. That is very few and far between. Most posters, even if they have gotten infractions or warnings in the past, do not have a thread dedicated to them. Those types of threads don't usually get started unless mods are talking about how to handle a certain situation or looking for the OK to ban someone. (We typically like to clear any long term bans with the other mods to make sure we aren't being biased. I think you all would be surprised at how much thought is put into serious punishments between the mods.)

So when the site crashes does that mean you're loading my file?

Glad to see things have changed since my banishments.

so with the moderators most wanted now gone, who takes the top spot in the mod lounge?

kmoose's mod thread currently has 97 posts, and Bogs' has 53. There's no one else still posting who's remotely close to that. The vast majority of mod intervention recently was necessitated by those two members' posts in the Lep Lounge.

Edit: Forgot to check the 2nd page. Koon's thread is currently at 92 posts, and there's a 1st page thread on Wooly v. Koon. So there's your answer, domer.

Time to get my thread in the moderator lounge.

Me to mods:

 

[fightingirish26]

Kmoose was trolled hard by Wooly, and that got him riled up and he got very defensive because of the accusations being made about him. He crossed the line, but he was trolled and provoked.

I don't think Kmoose is some 'sick F' for what he posted, I think everyone thinks a little differently about these types of posts. Some say 'how could you', and others say 'well it's literally everywhere and I'm not posting it to encourage it so why are you bent out of shape?'

Wooly jumped down Kmoose's throat and publicly tried to paint him as some mentally sick person for posting what probably 20 others would have if Kmoose didn't post it first.

I'm not saying I would have embedded the video, but I also don't believe anyone who did, or would have if Kmoose didn't, is some sort of mental with no regard for human life.

Nah, posting the video was pretty fucked up. The family themselves asked people to not share the video and to show a little respect.

 

[woolybug25]

I know it wasn't the posting of the video, and it was a result of his heated exchange with wooly, and then how he reacted to you. I'm just saying that heated exchange with wooly, and the subsequent response from you, doesn't happen IMO if he wasn't provoked so hard by Wooly.

If someone on here took something you posted arbitrarily and with no ill will, and publicly made you sound like a psychopath for doing so, we'd all be defensive. I'm not defending his banning or anything like that, just laying out how it snowballed.

I would argue that I simply told him that I couldn't believe that he would embed a video of an actual murder and to not do so in the future. Then he escalated the situation. I'll let the board read page 1 for themselves and decide. Either way, we were both punished. So I'm not sure why you're on here trying to villianize me for no reason. I didn't see you pipe up when the situation was happening. Maybe your conscientious concern could have de-escalated the situation at the time, rather than this veiled attempt to throw me under the bus. All under the assumption that you think I'm not here to defend myself as well.

Despite that. Thank you IrishLion and Beau for handling the situation the best you could. While I disagreed at the time, you were both civil and respectful in our communication. You did your thankless duties to the best of your ability and it is appreciated. If I could only add one final comment, it would be with a salty taste in my mouth that I would ask you to consider reducing Kmoose's ban from permanent. I do not regret nor think differently of his comments or original posting of the video, but I would be remiss to not acknowledge that it was a heated conversation that got out of hand. I have no knowledge of his past transgressions that may warrant his permanent ban. But I also firmly believe in the sanctity of an open board with broad opinions and personalities. I have no love for him as a poster, but I will never infringe on another posters ability to be here.

This is even less surprising than wiz and GowerND11 both driving a white Ford Focus.

 

[sharksamardzija8345]

The IE honor code.

Well, you'd think. But it stands to reason that anyone who has gone to the extreme of cursing someone out on a freaking free online college sports forum may not abide by the aforementioned code lol.

 

[NDdomer2]

Koon automatically reverts back to Public Enemy No. 1 until some other poster rises up to take the crown.

haha i knew Koon would be on there as a main stay. just assumed he would get jumped for the more imminent threat.

 

[dshans]

There are times when I feel like mods should start charging vBucks for all of the vLawyering we do in vDisputes.

Well, I have a shit load of useless vBucks I have no use for.

Start a rainy day vFund and I'll donate.

Squander them to your heart's desire.

Hell, it's Tax Day, so why not toss a few vPixels around? What the hell!

 

[Irish#1]

It would be helpful if every violation were outlined. How can anyone know if he is breaking the rules when he doesn't know what the rules are? "No cursing at moderators" could be added.

i want a list of bannned words and phrases i can't verbally assault a mod with

Double secret probation!

Then

 

[connor_in]

so with the moderators most wanted now gone, who takes the top spot in the mod lounge?

They can't come after Ukelele-Guy and me at the same time or the funny pic thread would die of atrophy

[connor_in]

I remember the Pat thing... I was like:

I remember that...next time, wear underwear...EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

 

[phgreek]

tried to rep...

spit coke on my keyboard...


all the kids out there who fancy themselves funny...less is more, and timing is everything.

It's about time you all made this board interesting again! I've been in a deep depression since Nov.

Ford Fusion ass basket. Ford Focuses are for the poors. Not that I hate. I was driving a Ford Fiesta until last Thursday and Ford Fiestas are for the mega poors. But now my wife has her van so I get my Fusion back.

When dudes go online to brag about what Ford family car they own...

Is hef still alive?



I'll be pushing for a National holiday when he does head for that Bunny Grotto in the sky.

A four day weekend to catch up on short stories and music reviews.

 

[GBdomer]

so with the moderators most wanted now gone, who takes the top spot in the mod lounge?

I know I'm up there

When a Mod tells you just post recruiting updates and don't post it's usually a good hint

It's basically saying pay the money for the poors(wooly said this first , ya right lol) for recruiting updates and don't say anything else because your posting style sucks

I feel you guys, just playing by the rules. I've been warned and talked too by just about every mod but the basketball mod. I can't think of his name right now, that dude likes me and I love him. Is Irish Lion a mod? I think that dude likes me. Not like how Koon loves Pat, I'm not a proud husband

 

[Cackalacky]

Even if it was possible to outline every violation, people would spend time creatively bending the rules by using slangs/subtleties where if you exchange the words, would be ban-nable by the outlined rules.

It'd be like the policy trying to keep up with technology. Just because you can out smart the rules, doesn't mean you should. It'd make the mods jobs a nightmare to enforce and constantly update. I feel like the common sense banning is the most pragmatic. Especially since these clowns don't even get paid to do this.

Says the guy who helped Pat back on the site and was banned for doing such. Lol

What does that have to do with my point? Answer, nothing.

 

[Cackalacky]

I propose a mandatory random draft that allows one poster the privlidge/duty of cleaning up the bots on a daily basis as a public service for our community.

 

[GBdomer]

Koon serious question because I think your soon to be wife is pretty sexy. Does she know you have a thing with a 60 year old angry, senile, lunatic of an old man? Because Pat is not worth it, dude is a fart in the wind
