    My apologies. All I saw was "banned". I get a suspension; I just thought that the poster had been permanently banned based on the information in his posts.

    Nothing to see here. Move along.

    There are too many trolls here. Ban them all! Several people simply post to just piss other people off and get a reaction. It's pathetic.

    Seriously, I got that. However, the information said "banned" and there wasn't anything stating that it had been increased. And if you think it's about that gnat of a poster, you're even dumber than your posts suggest. Several people in here have been banned for stuff that used to not be a problem.

    As for getting my shit together; I don't. It falls in a toilet and gets flushed. Why do you play with your own shit? What the fuck is wrong with you?

    Motion to pool money together for a nice gift for Sly, the $hit he deals with out of love for this forum is highly commendable.

    The best way to deal with stuff is not to deal with it at all.

    Not so sure I agree. This has nothing to do with this particular poster whatsoever, but in general I am not so sure you do want someone who constantly trolls. Many good posters will stay away if the subject matter tends to be ridiculous and irritating.

    So if the objective is to increase traffic to the website, I am not so sure allowing someone to troll is wise. Sure it may increase some threads and responses, but you still want to create a quality environment. Not saying you ban them, but nothing wrong with sending a message. This is a business and the Mod's need to protect the investment.

    Really? Lets not have personal insults in a thread about why someone was suspend because of personal insults.

    As far as banning for stuff that used to not be a problem, I'll disagree with you. The focus has always been on personal insults.

    I guess I'm just less sensitive than most in here. I don't give two shits about someone personally insulting me. I would ask that any personal insults toward me are not altered by the mods, deleted or any posters suspended or banned because of it.

    I know how you feel but as I've pointed out to you before if we allow that other people will accuse the mods of being inconsistent and allowing some people to get away with things that others can't. "You allowed _______ to insult Maxiep, why are you picking on me?"

    Less strict consistency would be so welcome. On the other hand, the mods do a thankless job

    Maybe we should require personal insults in all posts. Posts that do not contain a personal insult will be edited, deleted, and/or the poster will be banned.

    Oh, and some part of SlyPokerDog's anatomy is like some part of a female of another species.

    The Aids part was a bit much and not cool. But the part about the sand.... I don't see what's insulting about that? I'd say its God's honest truth for half the posters here.

    I disagree Max, you and I (Surge) go back to the O-live days and trolling and lack of mods totally ruined that place. I like the job the mods do here, I think they strike a nice balance.

    I think the difference is the layout of this site vs. the O-Live one. The trolls are easier to ignore on this site.
