Wth the ignore function on the site there's no need to skip anyone, you can just put them on ignore and their threads disappear. I am not a fan of personal attacks on msg boards either but you'd have to ban more people here to be consistant about that policy
I thought she had been toning down the act and finally got it. Good Blazer knowledge and a good writer . . . but some strange issues of having to belittle posters who don't agree with her. I didn't want to see her banned . . . hopefully it produces the desired effect of having things a little lighter around the board.
If being a Blazer fan is being a Homer, then yes and I guess I'd be one of those as well....never thought of it as a character flaw though
There's so much other clutter on this board that was pressing for some moderating. Her disruption was so minimal. People really PM you complaining about other posters' writing style and tone? Really? Some of yall take this shit too seriously. I come here to get updates on the team, cheer without inhibitions, and talk shit by venting. Not sure what some of you guys who complain about such things really do here. And BTW, I got no one on ignore, but if you guys didn't really like her posts, use the damn function.
I would think a suspension would be warranted before a straight up ban Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
Yes. This seems kind of like a straight up bitch move. I don't know, I don't think I really got "into it" with her, so I don't get all the butthurt.
For the record, I tried to tell Sly to use this method first, but he declined. [video=youtube;ASacQYJWOPI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASacQYJWOPI[/video]
Blazer Fanatic offered more logical information and stats in her posts than 90% of people in here. People whine in unison and someone gets banned. I for one don't think she did anything wrong and there are far worse posters who post in here everyday. Whiners should be dealt with like floppers: look at them, say nothing, and ignore the whine. When you reward the flop with a whistle what happens? More fucking flopping.
Was there any warning of this to Blazer Fanatic? If not, I do think the punishment is a bit harsh if it is a straight ban. You would think a 24hr.-3 day suspension would come before a ban.
That was my way of thinking. Warning then suspension then ban is how I thought things were handled unless its someone posting Oden dickpicks Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk
My guesses are the warnings were in the PM's that were written back and forth between the mods and BF. But, that's just a guess.
It seems there were several issues, multiple attempts and a consideration of the situation by more than just any one person. If after all of that, that decision was made, it certainly doesn't seem it was done in haste.
