Guest evenflowDDT Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 I've never understood the PBP issue/argument (of course, some of this might come from the fact that I am one). If a PBP continues the actions that got them banned in the first place, then they should be rebanned for it (also, as has been argued before, trolls, by their nature, enjoy the extra attention granted them by overreaction, it's better to ignore them rather than play into their bullshit...notice I never posted in a thread from "Birds in the Hotel"), however, sometimes people just screw up and need a "break" (even if it is only for a day/day and a half until they re-reg). If a PBP changes their attitude/actions and "slips through the radar", then so be it - the board benefits from their presence, and if it doesn't, see above. Really, the whole PBP nonsense (in all its instances) is just people taking internet nonsense way too seriously. It's my opinion that, if the mere knowledge that someone who may have done something mean in the past is contributing (and they'd have to be contributing, otherwise in repeating their actions they'd be re-banned) bothers you that much, take a fucking break. I had a "sabbatical" from message-boarding on a large-scale for many months, and now that I'm kinda sorta thinking about getting back into it I can better appreciate the "art" behind it all. Some people get all worked up about PBP's, to the point where they forget they're still people...I mean, it's not as if they're Negroes or anything.
Dr. Tyler; Captain America Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 What's Choken One's new name? I haven't noticed any noobs with 400 posts a day Tangerine. I can give you the evidence if you need, but I assume you guys don't really care since he toned down basically everything. He never bothered me in the first place and I was rather indifferent towards his banning, so really, I still don't care all that much.
Bruiser Chong Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 It's... I COULDN'T REALLY CARE LESS. If you could care less, than you would care less. And, I'm not a PBP. Dumb Fuck just became one of my favorite posters. I let it slide when I hear people say they "could care less," but it's pretty irritating, since what they're saying clearly isn't what they are trying to say.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 I miss IDRM He had the market cornered on the could/couldn't care argument.
Guest Set Free Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 I'll join the "couldn't care less" side of the coin too. Tattle tails have sucked since Kindergarten. And they especially such over the INTERNET.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 Question for Mods: How easy/hard is it to figure out if a new member is a PBP? Just curious...
bob_barron Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 I think Dave O'Neill is Champ. And tank_abbott is Frank Nabbitt. That's all I got
Dr. Tom Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 Question for Mods: How easy/hard is it to figure out if a new member is a PBP? Just curious... It depends. Some of them have distinctive style, which makes them easy to spot. Some of them are foolish and give away their former identities early. Those are obviously the easy ones to catch. For the rest, you have to go by IP addresses. One of the things I started doing in the uber-secret Staff folder is having everyone post the IPs of people they ban, so we have a reference handy. Otherwise, you have to use their posting IPs and compare it (or them) to the ones in the ban filters. Dynamic IPs from dialup ISPs can throw this off. Some people spoof their IPs and/or use proxy servers, but there are ways to find out what their real IPs are. Still, we have to be able to compare those to something. I don't know PBP's IPs off the top of my head, and I doubt anyone else does, either.

KingPK Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 Pristine Bottomed Philanthropist? Wow, spelled that last word right without even looking it up.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 An intelligent post in this forum. Holy shit. Yeah, I hate black people, too.
Guest Dumb Fuck Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 We're both WWE fans, then. Let's be friends.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 What is that Dumb Fuck talking about.
justsoyouknow Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 Yeah, I hate black people, too. I hate Mexicans.
Dangerous A Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 For the record, who are these PBP's? Where is the proof? What is Choken One's new ID? What is Dave O Neill's new ID? What is Chris Coey's new ID? Why don't you guys just come out and say who is who?
Guest Fire and Knives Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 If they did, what else would they have to talk about in here? K.
Dangerous A Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 I just want to know who is who. For all you know, I am a PBP. Perhaps you are a PBP. If people are gonna go out and state that PBP's are here, why don't they come out and say who they are so they can be looked into?
chaosrage Posted July 29, 2004 Report Posted July 29, 2004 For the record, who are these PBP's? Where is the proof? What is Choken One's new ID? What is Dave O Neill's new ID? What is Chris Coey's new ID? Why don't you guys just come out and say who is who? Uh because it would be ratting them out? I thought I was the only one who knew they were back.
Guest Dumb Fuck Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 That went over my head. You should be used to it. Unlike the peons here, I actually have this skill called "wit".
spiny norman Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 The only one I know of is that Choken One is Tangerine.
Art Sandusky Posted July 30, 2004 Report Posted July 30, 2004 Tom Collins = Coey Champ = O'Neill Choken = tangerine Retarded name waiting to be created = Johnson/Brain.
