Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 After reading this whole stupid Ghettoman ordeal, as well as some of the other rambling and metatextual "three-strikes" nonsense on here that (while I've thankfully missed most of it) creates a whole lotta drama and wasted bandwidth..Just thinkin' about your pocketbook, Dames..Give your mods jackboots and truncheons. It's a messageboard.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Hey, this isn't a third thread about that guy getting banned. This is a thread saying the suspension shit is stupid. People just come back all greezed and get banned anyway.
Dr. Tom Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 So far, that seems to be the case. I like the idea of having suspensions as a step between a warning and a ban, but the question is how useful a bloody suspension is. It strikes me as a good policy for the WWE folder, simply for the sheer volume of posts and the amount of traffic that place gets. Around the rest of the board, maybe. The results so far could be skewed simply by the folks who were on suspension. I think the usefulness of it is worth watching, and when Dames comes back, the staff can recommend keeping it or dropping it (personally, I think the feature is quite spiffy, but if it's better for the board to jettison it, then away it should go).
Highland Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 I see nothing wrong with a suspension, it's certainly better than a ban, especially for a relatively harmless post.
JHawk Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 I see nothing wrong with a suspension, it's certainly better than a ban, especially for a relatively harmless post. Might I ask why a suspension would be warranted for a relatively harmless post in the first place? Of course, that's usually what all the discussion ends up being about.
Sandman9000 Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 I don't see the purpose of suspensions. The rules are there; you fuck up, you're gone. That simple.
Guest FrigidSoul Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 People aren't perfect, they're gonna fuck up every now and again. A 1 strike and you're out system makes everybody walk on eggshells and refrain from showing the balls to say something that may be the least bit provocative.
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Hey, this isn't a third thread about that guy getting banned. This is a thread saying the suspension shit is stupid. People just come back all greezed and get banned anyway. You deserve to be banned for saying Zappa was a better guitarist than Hendrix.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Suspensions are better. unless it's something major. Paul, CJ, BestBuy should all be allowed back anyway.
Art Sandusky Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 CJ and BestBuy sure, but no Paul.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Paul was just fine when he became "The New Me" but I can see why some wouldn't want him back. btw...what's a NI*DING? *Sarcasm
Guest FrigidSoul Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 I still laugh at New Me flipping the truck over
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 New me is a great guy. many classic memories abound.
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 CJ and BestBuy sure, but no Paul. Why not Paul? OMG~ He's a troll! He's a better human being than 97% of the people who post here. I guess you all are much more content with your boring existance. Do you like vanilla ice cream? I thought so.
Guest FrigidSoul Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Banky, please be PC and ask if people like Neopolitan.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Paul was one of the nicer guys I've talked to on the net and he genuinely is sorry for the actions he took when he posted under the name of Prince Paul. He's done his time and he's a reformed upstanding citizen (for paul) now.
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Banky, please be PC and ask if people like Neopolitan. I think strawberry would be too much for these people, let alone chocolate.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 FREE NEW ME! INDEED!
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 FREE NEW ME! Martin Luther has spoken!!!
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 I'd start a petition or something but: 1. I'm lazy. 2. Internet petitions suck.
Nevermortal Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 FREE NEW ME! Martin Luther has spoken!!! ::nails the 95 Theses to Dames' Door::
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 FREE NEW ME! Martin Luther has spoken!!! ::nails the 95 Theses to Dames' Door:: You are my favourite poster right now. Even moreso than myself.
Nevermortal Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 FREE NEW ME! Martin Luther has spoken!!! ::nails the 95 Theses to Dames' Door:: You are my favourite poster right now. Even moreso than myself. This is quite the accomplishment.
Guest FrigidSoul Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Its difficult for me to say this but... Nevermortal's Martin Luther > ABOBO
Nevermortal Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Its difficult for me to say this but... Nevermortal's Martin Luther > ABOBO I don't know if I'm ready to take on that responsibility in fear of persecution. Quick, I need to be hidden by a German prince.

People just come back all greezed and get banned anyway. You deserve to be banned for saying Zappa was a better guitarist than Hendrix. You know, for someone who claims to enjoy jazz so much, I'd think you'd be more of a fan of Zappa, considering he put out a few albums of virtuoso jazz guitar work. To be fair, though, Hendrix is third on my list of hot shit guitarists behind Robert Fripp and Frank Zappa. I said he was better than Jimmy Page in that thread, too.
Anorak Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 Suspensions are better. unless it's something major. Paul, CJ, BestBuy should all be allowed back anyway. I think Bestbuy still posts here a little bit under a different name.
The Czech Republic Posted February 29, 2004 Report Posted February 29, 2004 Is "Bestbuy" that "Best Buy Team Member Since 1998" guy from WDI?
