saskjayfan Old-Timey Member Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Whatever, Spanky got banned on a weekly basis back on the old board. I'm sure it won't deter him. As long as it's two self assured arrogant posters going at it who both dish it out...there should be no bannings....this is the offseason. There's a lull in topics. These types of spats are the equivalent of the real housewives shows that my wife watches......banning this type of entertainment seems silly to me....more drunken posting spats I say...lol
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Is HR banned too? No. HR is untouchable... he's destroyed four or five threads with penis talk and has sunk mohyou, Spanky and others. But he just keeps chugging along unharmed lol. I wonder who he'll get banned tonight.
connorp Old-Timey Member Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Is HR banned too? Nah. He shouldn't be. I mean I like Spanky better.. But he was the issue. HR wasn't an equal aggressor. Just was making comebacks but wouldve squashed it if Spank did
G-Snarls Community Moderator Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Mods currently discussing a new system of infractions Ppl banned in the meantime by may have new system and unbannings as early as today/tomorrow Stay tuned

connorp Old-Timey Member Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Yes How do you know you're banned? You try to log in and it says "you've been banned".. Or does log in just not work?
G-Snarls Community Moderator Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I fully recognize that we have become very inconsistent in moderating and we are looking to improve on that. Banning Spanky but not Hward Roark (initially anyhow) last night Letting Moh You aggravate everyone but letting it slide because he wasn't being aggressive or making personal attacks Banning njh because he was the first to cross the (arbitrary) line I set when things were getting out of hand the other night Hang in there. We're working on ways of making it better.

G-Snarls Community Moderator Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 How do you know you're banned? You try to log in and it says "you've been banned".. Or does log in just not work? No idea actually. I'll ask Spanky when admin unbans him.

We're working on ways of making it better. Honestly the best thing to do in my opinion is to quit mentioning it. I haven't been posting here much since the new board, but now that I am... I feel like I can't escape the premise of mods. Just do what you guys do and quit bringing it up or mentioning it in public threads. Everyone will trust your judgement.
admin Site Manager Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I started a new around baseball thread last night and said keep it on topic, after closing the other one they ruined. His first post was a typical spanky comment so I warned him. Two minutes later he posted another one. I'm sure he was going until he got banned last night.

connorp Old-Timey Member Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I don't think anyone is actually bothered by the moderation. You guys are doing a fine job. Except for letting that f***ing dipshit MohYou get to 1K posts. That was egregious and indefensible. Yeah honestly njh deserved a quick timeout. Gsnarles is a cool dude but was trying to get order and njh disrespected him a bit (even though obviously playing)..at any other time if he said "mods are pussies"..gs wouldve come back with joke reply Also I tried to push for banning you and Nox cosigned but it failed to catch wind in the Senate:(

I have no problem with the Spanky ban myself. A little humour is fine but pages and pages of dick measuring contests (sometimes literal) is tedious as f***. You gave him more than fair warning but there's only so much you can do when someone has gone off the rails.

We are enacting new policies to help deal with the place more effectively Hoping bygones can be bygones. It DOES make it harder that the mods here are regular posters rather than anonymous beings. Definitively makes it more difficult.
Nox Verified Member Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 I'll have you permabanned for this. Too late, I've reported you.
G-Snarls Community Moderator Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Please see sticky thread on rules and bans for new info

Just do what you guys do and quit bringing it up or mentioning it in public threads. Everyone will trust your judgement. This whole issue over the past few days was stirred up by a poster, not moderator. That is always the case. We have no reason to bring up anything mod related and we never do. We have our own mod forum and we keep things private there. However, when called out or questioned publicly, we must address it. We're human too and while some feel its best to insult or belittle us, it's absolutely pathetic and shows little class. There are better ways to handle these things like PM. As I said before we don't get anything out of this except trying to make this a better place for everyone and we do it on our own time. We hope everyone will trust our judgement, but a small handful usually like to stir s*** up and rile up the whole forum without knowing any of the facts. Nothing we can do about that other than address the forum publicly when something needs to be said. That aside, let's just get back to baseball talk, nothing else needs to be said.

Just do what you guys do and quit bringing it up or mentioning it in public threads. Everyone will trust your judgement. Admin just made exactly that point in the mods forum and I agree 100% There have been useful points brought up over the last 24 hours, and we have learned some things, but it's enough now. New rules have been put up. We will lock the garbage threads that are mostly related to complaining and ban discussion and bickering. We will go back to doing our jobs. We will do what we think is best for the board. Over and out. Enough said. Edited December 21, 2013 by G-Snarls
