i read the thread and thought it was funny what they were doing. To me there was no harm no foul. It is kinda ironic to see moderators getting baned for having some fun.
well, my only complaint (or an observation, not a complaint really) about that whole thread (assuming that's all it took for those to get banned- I honestly don't know as I don't have much spare time these days and can't check out other forums on S2 sadly) was that it wasn't located, or at least moved, to the Nets OT forum. The content wouldn't have made a difference, but at least it wouldn't be as noticable as it would be in the main Nets forum.
Thing is last season I remember threads that were downright ridiculous, and sometimes out of control but I only remember one poster being banned...which he deserved...in this instance it seems a little extreme.
Wait.... seriously? They're actually banned? This isn't like an April Fool's Day joke (a bit early...) or something? Seriously? What... what happened? All I want for Christmas is my friends back...
Me too. I have my last exam tomorrow, and then after that will be off for about five weeks. No job, no nothing lol. So if moderators need to step up, I'll be willing to do it until early February.
They weren't bad people, this is just a topic not many mods want to discuss in public. There's no need to insult their posting careers here, I appreciate what they did for the site and am saddened to no longer see their input.
seriously, what happened to them....? they were very good posters... hvnt seen pegs since... i duno when..
Whenever someone is banned obviously there was a controversial thread/post. I can't get into the details here yet but I hope they can return some day and I respectfully disagree with their departure. Until some later date, there is no need to bash them or anything like that, they were funny and will be missed.
Well you'll have to ask the admins or something then, I was not part of any of these decisions. I'm just trying to give my respects to those lost posters.
Repeated violations of just about every rule in our Forum Rules (see link above), and over a long period of time. They were given a lot of rope and hung themselves. That's all there is to say about it.
For reference: Official Site Rules for SportsTwo SportsTwo is intended to be a fun community. Keep this in mind, as all of our rules are geared toward making it this way. 1. All posters with honorable intentions are welcome. 2. This is a big site with a lot of members. You may not like every one of them. However, we expect everyone to at least respect each other. 3. Respect the moderators, global moderators, producers, commissioners, admins, and other staff members of SportsTwo. 4. Flame wars are not allowed. We do tolerate poking fun of one another in good fun, but hateful posts towards another poster are not allowed. 5. Trash talk is allowed. It's one thing to call Portland's NBA team the "Jailblazers" and another to call their fans idiots. The former is allowed, the latter is not. 6. SportsTwo is to be a work-friendly and family-friendly site. While there is no blanket rule on how to enforce this, it is completely the discretion of SportsTwo staff to enforce this rule and how to enforce it. 7. Everyone is here to offer their opinions, so be prepared to have people disagree with your opinions. There is a difference between attacking someone's post (their opinion) and attacking the poster with the latter not allowed. The staff is here to monitor for such occurrences. 8. Users who have multiple accounts will be publicly identified. 9. We can't anticipate all of the things the staff may find unacceptable. Again, it is completely the discretion of SportsTwo staff to enforce any unwritten policies they deem fit, and you are expected to abide by these judgments. 10. The staff is here to be of service any way we can. If you have questions or need help with anything, feel free to PM a mod, GM, Producer, Commissioner, or an Admin. 11. We reserve the right to amend these rules at any time.
