Has there ever been any consistency to what is a bannable offense?

I was banned for, "Holy ####! That is some Trump level stupidity." 

Depends on the thread it was posted.

"I just voted for Trump" thread - not ban worthy.

"I just bought a Bryant boat!" thread - probably not going to fly here, guy.

It would be an easy programming exercise to make it so that upon reporting a post, the account of the person doing the reporting is put on timeout for 6 months.  Can we request this feature?

 

[BeaverCleaver]

 

:reported:

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

I've never had an alias in my 15 years posting here.  I was just suspended 7 months and I took it like a man.  No alias's here my friend.

Alias's what?

Can we have your avatar added to the emoticon menu first? 

 

[Peyton Marino]

FTR I take a lot of posts with a grain of salt

probably not good for your blood pressure

 

[fatguyinalittlecoat]

I used to get banned all the time back in the old days.  Now I'm really charming though. Haven't gotten a timeout in years.

Squissy wouldn't approve of this.

I was once banned for posting   in response to Smoo's explanation of a comment that got him banned three years earlier.  

 

[sho nuff]

Wait...Trump supporters are now complaining about aliases?

Definitely funny...maybe a bit ironic. 

 

[sho nuff]

Well...other than this not being your first name here...right?

 

[Yankee23Fan]

FWIW, bfred thinks it's funny to report political posts and request that they be moved to the non-existing politics subforum. We're all grown ups here I think. Let's act like it.

That just might be the funniest thing ever on this board.   Seriously,  this entire ordeal is worth it for that shtick.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Definitely funny...maybe a bit ironic. 

Who complained about aliases other than Squissy?

Personally, I don't care how many accounts Tanner Llama Brixton has.

 

[Higgs]

Well...other than this not being your first name here...right?

You're better than that, sho.

 

[sho nuff]

You're better than that, sho.

Better than what?  Pointing out the truth?

 

[Higgs]

Better than what?  Pointing out the truth?

It's not at all relevant, and it's not at all like having an alias.  I had to delete my General Tso account because people in here crossed the line, and I didn't want anyone to have the ability to search my account for personally identifiable information. I think you knew that.

 

[BeaverCleaver]

So are the Anti Trump guys still watching and whining about likes too?

 

[MaxThreshold]

You're better than that, sho.

No.  No he isn't.

 

[BeaverCleaver]

No.  No he isn't.

Well...it's relevant to what was said.  No biggie.

 

[sho nuff]

No.  No he isn't.

Sick burn...quality posting all the way max

 Quality moderation there.

I was a big fan of GT

Again we have to look into your heart for your words' true meaning.

Joe gave me a banning once for an obscenity in my profile page and I have never even put anything in my profile page.

That Fred, he's such a scamp. But he's an advocate and that's what advocates do.

If only there was an easy solution to this problem

Why do you want to perma-ban Fred?

 

[msommer]

Why do you want to perma-ban Fred?

I don't particularly, although his tilting at windmills over politics in the FFA is getting tiresome.

I took Aaron's messages as a warning not to antagonize the mods, not only to bfred, but to other profligate users of the report button as well.

Finally, I though it funny that the "solution" already had an emoji  - even if the use of it differs greatly from its spelling

You know where people would really enjoy this hot take?

The FFA!

 I had 3 or 4 bannings during the months leading up to the election. Right around the time when there was a certain group abusing the report function. It would have been nice for the rest of us to see this.

A certain group of obvious aliases

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Joe tells people to use the report button. Aaron tells people to stop using it. 

Magaw bans people for  .  Dodds lets it go when Bruce tells him "#### you, you ####### #######". 

Looks like Joe and David need to decide what their rules are and have them applied consistently by the mods they choose.  

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Tanner?

 

[Slapdash]

Tanner?

Sure, if Tanner pops up with another obvious alias like "dfsguy" to troll political threads and then hit the report button he should be banned.

Letting it go is an odd way of putting it given how many threads have been nuked in that tantrum.

It would be great to hear from Joe.  If we cannot get a response about the actual site content, I doubt we'll get one here. 

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Joe tells people to use the report button. Aaron tells people to stop using it.

I tell people to stop using it for shtick purposes. I'd assume people who have been here awhile can tell the difference.

I assume people that have been here awhile would know that most people that have been here awhile and their families are a ####.

 

[Scoresman]

I thought the report button would give me a report on forum statistics or something.  Sorry Aaron.

:reported; 

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Yeah, whatever.  We know who you are.

Everything I said in that post was accurate.  

When you say "we", who is included in that collective?  You wrote a pronoun without an antecedent, and I don't want there to be confusion about what your words mean.

Over 99% of the posts I've made here over the last three years have been under this username.  By the definition you used for yourself, this username is no more or less an alias than Higgs is.  If you're such a special snowflake you need your own rules, so be it.

I have no idea what you are talking about.  It's clear you don't like me, and to be honest the feeling is mutual.  Why don't we both do the Board a favor and put each other on ignore?

As a woman, and as a woman who dates women... I've never seen any female ##### whine and complain as much as you.

You accused me of being an alias, and some "we" knows who I "really" am.  

I'm saying this username is no more an alias than your username is, and you took great exception when called an alias-user earlier.

I'm trying to find out if the rules you set for me are the same as the rules you set for yourself.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

I've never seen someone be wrong as often as you yet convinced you're right.  There wasn't one single "whine" in that post. It was stating facts and then offering my opinion.  In case you've forgotten, this is a thread about moderation.  I posted about moderation. Perhaps you should find the thread about whining for your thoughts?  Or at least realize what thread you're in before you come in lobbing more and more insults?

 

[bagger]

Just have the report button direct all reported posts to shuke's pm. Problem solved.

Yeah, I'm really not interested in arguing with you anymore Bruce.  I'm putting you on ignore, and I'd ask that you do the same.  We just aren't clicking.
