I'm of the opinion that only grossly inappropriate conduct should be ban-worthy, and the only thing I've seen here that I would call a legitimate reason to ban someone is when the TPup fans were spamming the board with penis. As has been pointed out, there is an ignore function. I would also expect the Mystery Men who whined to get BF banned to start posting more, and posting strictly about basketball.
Not really. Most of it was in jest. Probably the one time I got pissed was when Zags and I got into it. Pretty much any time you've told me I've been worked up, I really haven't been. People who really know me know I have low-filter, few boundaries, and a razor tongue. So I pretty much push a lot of buttons that are pretty much inappropriate that most dont unless they're pissed off. So I see why you might think I'm worked up at times, but odds are, I'm not. My one boundary I really try to steer clear of is people's kids. I can't say I've been 100% there, but its my one boundary (as its the one thing that really gets me going).
Totally agree. I'm against banning in general, though years of mixum grew tiresome. I, along with a couple others, were pretty vocal in bringing you back (and under the real name). I won't advocate for bannings, but I also just dont care enough to complain about the ban when someone is really annoying. I get both sides of the equation here, though (why BF was banned and why people are upset).
not sure, pandabear gave me an infraction though Latest Infractions Received (0 point(s) total) 07-31-2011 11:52 PM pandabear Reversed: N/A This is supposed to be a family freindly site.
My 5-year old knows how to spell "friendly". Such poor spelling is atrocious - I'd never allow her to visit this forum. I hate for it to confuse her at such an impressionable age. So much for being "family freindly".
Thanks for pointing out a thread. I read every BF post in that thread, and saw nothing even remotely worthy of a ban. Debating other peoples opinions is exactly what this forum is about, and I saw nothing in that thread that was out of line. Compared with the direct personal attacks I see around here... BF is nothing. She didn't brag about her post account, she tried to discredit someone else about their lack of posts over 5 years... much the same as I see all the time go on here, including from popular posters. So what, it was a lame comment by BF, but how is it any different than the 'shut up rook' stuff?
Rep'd if I can figure out how. In the end, I get that she was a pain in the ass and I think people get my point--that bans/suspensions should be doled out very sparingly.
See the black star and the black triangle with the exclamation point in it? The black star thing is what you click to rep someone.
Yeah. Well, that's the way we were taught in grammar school. Of course, we were only introduced to simple words at a young age. http://mentalfloss.com/article/51635/how-i-e-except-after-c-rule
It's the little bade button under one's avatar. Denny chose something that resembled the Star of David because he's Jewish.
Lol I miss those days she ran off a few people but I was and still am so damn stubborn plus I had a lot of free time to destroy any of her arguments with stats.
