Banning Clarification

[rae121452]

someone clarify this for me: how do you all know as soon as someone has been banned? is there some effect on their past postings or are they just missed?

also: how does one know that they themself has been banned? do you get an email telling you so? do your posts just not show up?

Truth. The rampant trolls ruin the reputation of the board. The GB has gone to shit.

And....your own self censorship by... mental/physical IGGY is not enough? So much not enough that the very precepts of a somewhat free marketplace of ideas is... negotiable? It's more lazy than hypocritical! It's abhorrent! This place is an open forum only when it suits you?

The Fuck!

REPORTED - Fuck that Noise!

The only thing I can think of is that if you've been banned once, your margin for error going forward is basically nonexistent.

 

[LesDesirable]

Not one fuck was given.

banned, unbanned, unbanned for 16 years of excellence,
warnings, no warnings,
rules, no rules,
the Sacred Guidelines!,
a dead bulletin board,
with bitter clingers,
unable to let go,
return on their life investment,
hoping for renewal,
a new youth,

just a bulletin board.
Chat is still broken.

I've read them you twat. Christ it's like pulling teeth.

ALLOW ME TO REQUOTE THE LAST BIT:

Anything else goes. You may post whatever you like. Consequently, so can everyone else. The administrators here don't believe they are anyone's parents nor are they anyone's Jiminy Cricket. It's not their responsibility to make sure that everyone on the site uses free speech responsibly. It's up to individual users to be responsible for themselves

No email. Usually warnings before. You just can't login anymore, and it flags up (to you) you are denied access (ish).

Okay Cleaver Beaver, I'm printing that bad boy out and laminating it.

This was my impression, as well. Conversely, those having a clean record until now have a little more leeway.

One direct tell is that they no longer have an avatar where one once stood not a day ago.

Some members don't have one to begin with, but more often than not, if you've put in time and roots here in developing your persona, you'll have put an avatar up because it's your flair flag...and rarely will take it down outright if not to switch it up.

Was 4est banned for suggesting suicide? I've done that tons of times. I used to follow Poppy round with a noose in the good ole days. This is what I mean by changes. Now I'm boring myself, fuck me. I'll go find some cockpasta gifs.

was 4est really worth the thread? The owner still has perhaps 300 or 400 accounts active.

 

[RobDownSouth]

I think we need it.

Some bannings recently seem a tad bizzare. Why was 4est Trump banned? Que? The latest Luk?

We know the posting of personal info is a deffo (the only one I totally think is justified but hey ho). The whole pea dough saga is another. Posting folks pics I kinda get but not old avs.

But what else...certain insults? I dunno, I'm genuinely mystified and not trying to be a sarky cunt.

Laurel?

The "right to repost someone's old avs" could get problematic.

What is to prevent someone of low moral character (*coughConager*cough) from posting someone's picture he found somewhere on the internet and then claiming "oh noe, so and so used that as an avatar back in 2006! Everybody knows that!" It then becomes a he-said-she-said shitfest, and the low moral character numpty wallows in the attention.

Another scenario: those occasional "show us your chest/tits/nips/dick/balls/earlobes" threads where someone flashes their naughty bits for a good 5 minutes and a splendid time is had by all fortunate enough to view them (and 3 days of angst by the "Dammit I missed it!" crew). Does someone who was quick enough to right-click-save the pic then have the "right" to repost it as they see fit?

I thought his ban was for quoting too much copyrighted material. A very boring violation befitting the offender.

We just had a fairly large controversy here about that very issue.

AJ got banhammered for having a bad morning where he referred to multiple people (including me) as P-words despite multiple warnings.

These guys really should take their meds.
