I just saw a few AV pics of a guy with no shirt on, a girl with a phone in her ass, and another with her tits hanging out.....yet my name is a problem? Come on guys, what's the real reason i was banned?

i wonder this too. there is a pic with a guy with no top on giving a very sexual look. and as you say a girl with a phone on her ass. If I was a parent I'd be more concerned about those pics than a name like ilovegirls69. 

Actually now that i think about it, isn't jizzbeardthepirate a lot worse? I mean like we all know what jizz means...



I made the name ilovegirls69 one word. You can't even make that out with a quick glance. Besides, what do you notice first when browsing through a thread, a name or a picture? And like i said there are way more offensive pics than my name.

Formerly ilovegirls69  :(

Still waiting for an explanation to my ban. How is pointing out someone someones obvious agenda by the changing of their arguments every post a bannable offense? And how is it someone can come in a thread bragging how he just messaged some mods and a mod comes in and ban me for pointing out the users agenda. It look really bad a user can summon a mod at will whenever people are seeing through their ever changing goal post shifting.



Thanks jlmurph!

I need more details.

What is important about this ban is that Axum had already told people to keep the shit flinging out of the thread.

Why are you still waiting? Axum addressed your post right after you posted...

Anyone want to explain my ban. Seems axum just came in and banned whoever called out his buddy who bragged about how he messaged him on his goalpost moving BS. No one was disrespecting him, they were just pointing out his ever changing claims/complaints. I saw his agenda and could no longer take his posts serious in that thread after seeing him change his complaint after every refuted post, and get a three day ban. It doesn't look good when a user can summon a mod at will to ban anyone who doesn't cuddle up and agree with his ever-changing nonsense, so please, explain this one to me (see my only ban for reference)

First of all, don't be presumptuous over mine and padib's friendship. We have had plenty of arguments and I have banned him plenty of times over the years. That has absolutely nothing to do with the issue. 

I stepped into the thread to issue an all encompassing warning about the way the conversation was going. I came in to say to stop derailing the thread. I had no intentions of banning anybody in the thread when I made that statement because my goal was just to get the topic back on track. You chose to ignore my warning in the thread so that's why you got banned. Reason there was no warning for your ban was because there was a general warning set in the thread and you chose to ignore it. 

First off, I can presume whatever I see is happening as I see it happening. Try acting more impartial and no one would be able to presume anything. Also, the only person derailing the thread was your good buddy who summoned you to the thread because he couldn't handle people calling him out on his ever changing complaints. Everything time he shifted the goalposts was him derailing the thread further and further, but please do go on about how impartial you were. So if anyone needed banning for derailing a thread, your good buddy "who you have banned many times before" should have gotten another one, not the person pointing it out.



Thanks jlmurph!

one of my first bans was for that too. you're just going to have to deal with it and try not to get sucked in the next time.

axumblade isn't exactly impartial in this case, so I don't think it counts. Don't tell me that you couldn't sense an obvious agenda in axumblade's post.

Lol, true!  Of course, breedinbull isnt exactly impartial in his complaint, so I don't think it counts.  Dont't tell me you couldn't sense an obvious agenda in breedinbull's post.

Yes, identifying trolls is your job and such statements can be used by them.  I get that, but you've missed my point.

By banning such short negative phrases but not positive phrases of equal worth you are controlling discussion and creating a bias.  Since good discussion seems to be the endgame here, I've pointed out letting it happen will not detract from the forum as long as you police the replies.  Those who care for further input should ask, those who don't should ignore it, be it actual opinion or trolling (your job to identify trolls).

But since that seems to much work for the mod team, or expectancy of the forum population, in order to remove conversation bias short posts such as "This is game amazing" should also require some explaination.  Will improve discussion, not need identify trolls and uses the exact same rule system you have now, content is king.

.....

As you rightly pointed out, the endgame is good discussion. Since a throwaway positive post doesn't tend to disrupt threads while negative posts along the same lines do, these two types of posts are naturally treated differently because only the latter poses an actual threat to peaceful discussion of any given subject.

Additionally, your ulterior motive here seems to be that you want to be allowed to say that a game is shit, but since you concede that you would have to type an explanation upon request in order to differentiate yourself from a plain troll, you might as well offer said explanation in your initial post because you will have to give it anyway.


Actually, from the start my motive is to do away with shitty "Amazing " posts and have less coversation bias.  This was my initial suggestion.

Because yes, that would be a lot of work A) and B) how many people do you think would support such a move? Among users as active as you or more active than you, , it would be increadibly unfeasible to implement such a move, and would lead to a lot of negative feedback thereby.
