IllustriousOne 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2004 So it's better to just ban people without actually saying why and make everyone walk around on eggshells, because they have no idea if their conduct, which may adhere to the "Seven Rules" is going to be deemed "too stupid" Actually, it's better to ban people on the mods precedent. Not the fickle posters precedent. And personally, I haven't seen anyone walking on eggshells. EDIT: Oh and as a reminder... Dames installed the "imperial regime that has castrated the board." Don't forget that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Loss Report post Posted July 18, 2004 The Flair/Bret topic has been great for the most part. I commend everyone involved. I will say though, that I personally think the board has bigger problems than Choken One. I won't complain about him being gone, but I do hope the trigger is pulled in other areas where it should be pulled if this banning is sticking, which I know it is.

chaosrage 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2004 If everyone knows why he was banned, then it should be pretty easy to point out lots of his intolerable posts. Well, first off, let's start with a little exercise. Out of Choken One's 20,000+ posts, detail for me one post that stands out in a positive fashion. Whether it be an eye-opening intelligent post, or a side-splitting humorous post, or just something incredibly entertaining.....give me one single post that Choken had that improved anything on this forum. Now, out of Choken One's 20,000+ posts, can you detail for me one post that stands out in a negative fashion? I'm sure that, for many people, many different posts popped up in their head. As unfortunate as this is, Choken One really didn't add ANYTHING to the forum. He was not the person to look for when you wanted to have a smart discussion about wrestling, baseball, or any other medium. His knowledge about these subjects only seemed to exist on the surface, and once you tried to go into detail, it became quickly obvious that he wasn't nearly as experienced in the subject he was trying to argue about. He didn't add any humor to the forum - I can't remember one single time when I looked at a Choken One post and felt any single urge to laugh whatsoever. And were his posts entertaining at all? Did they add discussion to their forum? Did they serve any other purpose besides raising his own post count? No. Now, this wasn't even the worst part. The fact that Choken One was bland beyond belief isn't the problem here. It's the fact that he - MANY TIMES - resorted to flaming when there was no need for it. This was detailed earlier on in this thread. Just from the FIRST PAGE of the WWE Folder, I found five different flaming comments that were uncalled for. I didn't even bother to bring up that Baseball thread, which was just ridiculous as well. The guy loved to comment on the "idiotic" ways of others, yet failed to see the amazing irony in the fact that he was consistently proving himself to be even more idiotic. I just don't see the quality posting coming from Choken One when I see him responding to a post calling for Angle to return to a WWE ring with "You're a fucking imbecile." Although I personally don't intensely agree with Choken's banning - His relatively worthless posts didn't cause any HARM to the board, and I am of the school of thought that people need to get thicker skins outside the Hardcore Discussion folder - I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. It was an understandable decision, all in all. Seriously, I think Choken was the best poster here. He added discussion to just about every single thread in the WWE folder. He posted about 100 times a day, but I can't recall any of his posts ever being short. Most of them have several paragraphs explaining himself. He didn't flame more than anybody else, also according to new rules and Dr Tom, flaming is okay outside of the Hardcore folder anyway. Even if he didn't add anything, that's not a reason to ban him. It's pretty clear to me that there aren't any. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2004 I don't think you actually get what I'm saying. I didn't like CO. I thought he posted a lot of crap. You what what? I post lots of crap. I think there is only a handful of posters who DON'T post lots of crap. We're wrestling fans - wrestling is lots of crap. But what is the difference between CO and Me? What is the difference between CO and CWM? What is the difference between CO and you? I want to know what made CO exceptionally different that he got banned, yet a whole host of others have stayed. Because "prolonged stupidity" and "we're glad he's gone" isn't CO-exclusive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what this board is becoming. That's not the cause. Choken One didn't contribute anything to this forum. In fact, many times, he detracted from intelligent conversation. Take a look at the baseball thread from this week if you want. That should be grounds enough for his banning. He was way out of line. Then, add in all the different flaming comments he had outside the Hardcore Discussion folder. Factor in the "fucking imbecile" or "asshole" comments he made towards people in the WWE folder, the amount of subjects he immediately labled "stupid", the times he called someone "idiotic" for stating their opinion....add in all of those. Now, make sure that you don't forget the post-whoring replies. The one-word posts, or the posts that simply don't add anything WHATSOEVER to the discussion. Like.... It looks shitty. I don't need Critics to tell me that. Why, that just provokes immediate conversation, doesn't it? And I'm sure, with that attitude, people will be able to discuss the topic at hand with him in an intelligent manner. There were numerous reasons for his banning. More so than just "I don't like him because he's stupid." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted July 18, 2004 Quite frankly, I think The Dames needs to come in and clean house. Whether it be for one side or the other, there is a dividing point in this forums that keeps coming up, and The Dames - the guy who owns the site and the only guy who can legitimately do whatever he wants because he pays for it -, I feel, should do something about it. Do you talk to dames? I have. He supports his mods. It's amazing how anytime the mods do ANYTHING you come in here and whine and complain and try and make it sound like they're Nazi's. Not one person has been banned that didn't deserve it. Not one. Choken One has been a problem for over three years. The mods finally did something about it. Perhaps you protest so much because you see a bit of Choken in yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
