locked do to topic attacking a head mod's decision.
don;t post something like this again or else you will be at the end of my ban hammer. |
Why mods are threatening us when we question bans now? Isn't that the reason that banned people posts are appearing now? So we can judge if a ban is fair? Isn't the first time it happened, looks like a dictatorship. |
This is a dictatorship, just because it is on the internet doesn't mean you have any say in how the site is run. ioi is kind enough to listen to what the users have to say, but it is still his site. |
Ding Ding! This is absolutely a dictatorship, these people are put in charge and what they say goes. We have no recourse and the reason people continue to come & post is because we have reasonable overlords who don't abuse their power (too much  ). You can debate them in a topic the same as anyone else, the only difference is that they have the added responsibility of swinging down the ban hammer on those who get out of hand. In the case of CaptainPreference he had it coming for a lot more than just that post, in fact I think I counted 3 other posts that were ban worthy given his history as a troll on the site. Ironically I was reporting him for one of those other posts as DKII was banning him, and I PM'd DKII hoping he would extend the ban...which he didn't because he is a nice overlord. You don't see me making a thread about each offense and wanting people's opinions about whether he should have been banned longer...so why should we have the opposite? If you have a problem just PM the mod, they are quite reasonable if you are. |
Oh really? Then why the thread was locked and the creator was threatened with a ban? And it's not the first time i see it happening. Why the thread was re-opened is perhaps a better question...it might have something to do with the fact that I was right. I don't care to captainpreferences, a mod threatened the creator of the topic who didn't even offended somebody, he just wanted to know why captainpreferences was banned and i think it's fair since the ban reason is misleading. Your argument makes it sound like the thread should have been re-opened...hmmm...you mean it was? So what are you complaining about? And you don't need to make a thread about each offense, but why not point out when you find a ban unfair? The creator of the thread thought captainpreferences was banned solely for being a sony fanboy. You can point out when you think a ban is unfair, send a PM to the mod. Simple really. I remember when ioi started showing the content of banned people posts to everyone, he said it was for we to have the right to judge if a ban is fair or not. Again the thread is open so what is your complaint? And BTW do you have a link to where ioi said that? I doubt ioi said the members are the judge, I would bet he was saying that members should be able to know why someone was banned(probably so you learn from the mistake)...but if you think members have a say in it you're just wrong. |
