Evolve27 has been temp banned and Thatguy is gone forever.

Dude decided to test the waters earlier with inane bumps of 3 threads. You reported and infracted him. We've banned him for 5 days.

That's really all there is to say about it.

Additionally, based on Thatguy's activity on this thread and reports that trolling is his MO we've dumped him permanently. He seems to be a mult of another permabanned username as well, so I'm not really going to spend much time explaining or defending it. We like people who want to contribute to the board's discussion and we even tolerate a little trolling for entertainment value - but if that's all you bring to the table, we don't want you. Farewell.

For future bannings of regulars, this sticky thread with all the details will be SOP to avoid 3 or 4 different threads and 1000 different questions. Hope this helps.

We're doing well to keep the blatant racist crap off this site. The passive crap is quite a bit more difficult.

FYP.

Let's just put it this way. Being racist is not against the rules. Posting racial slurs is.

At least they expect it from the girl...(Hope that was passive aggressive enough)

Other than Dane being back (missed you man) I've not only decided that I don't give 2 shits. Better yet I've decided to share that with you. Sorry about that.

It's not the mods. It's the losers that have infraction giving power AND the people blowing their loads at every chance to complain about ****ing nothing. Honestly that's some bullshit. We need to be getting on those people not the mods. I've seen the light and the light are the mods. The shadows and the darkness are the reeruns with chips on their shoulders who can't look at anything, let alone themselves, and not ****ing complain. But the idea of giving people power to give infractions is ****ing reeruned in and of itself.

You do a lot of complaining yourself. The fact is there's less than a dozen rules here that are actively enforced, so I don't feel sorry for the handful of dipshits who can't follow them.

We quickly remove infraction giving powers from the people who are a little too enthusiastic about the feature. I don't think it's anything that is abused... more than once or twice.

Oh I do complain, but I mean complaining behind closed doors, in the form of reporting, to the people that can realistically do something about it. Bugeater you're not even getting the ****ing point. But then again you never do.

And that's good to know Phobia. I suppose you do have to give the power to someone because if I had it, I'd never use it and would defeat the purpose.

I don't think you have a point outside of the one on your head.

Yes, the constant whining you do about every little thing with no need for any kind of solution is better than complaints regarding breaking actual rules to those who could do something about it.... the more passive aggressive, the better.

Reported



Now I have to poop.

Is there a rule on how old a thread must be (either from the original date of the thread, or the last date any given thread was last replied to), that constitutes said violation? The "Drink of Choice Tonight" and "Workout" threads are of potential concern to me... So many rules!
