Member Suspension Appreciation/Depreciation Thread

[BigMac]

@aphro Nobody explained you'd been thrown a jab at too. I sort of left that question to be answered by the people defending you when I asked if for it to be ''back-and-forth'' both sides had to knowingly be in the ring tit-for-tat. I had the impression you said those things out of the blue, sorry if that wasn't the case.

his goal was always to WIN the internets via outlasting and having the last word even if a meaningless one...

just my 2 pennies..

Couldn't that phrase equally apply to the posters that Kwikki was often debating in the politics thread and the clinic?

Throwing around insults always risks incurring a ban of some sort.

Horsesch!t.

Patrick may be masterful at oneliners but you can't say he was trying to win anything.

Now it was early in the morning but well past closing time so I may have been wrong about the drunkeness. More seriously, you saw how many people the guy pissed off while saying nothing of substance. You also saw me ask him repeatedly to post anything on topic and deal with post not poster. Those are also forum rules; they get stretched outside race threads, but usually by posters who've brought content. Kwikki reminded me of the yobs in UK pubs who get in a half-drunken state of desublimated aggression and come walking straight at you. 4 out of 5 when elbow checked before they make contact will offer to buy a drink. The fifth will get belligerant and say "what? who? me! I wasn't doing anything." I wanted him moderated and he wasn't doing it himself as the big boys in the politics thread do. The guy also tailed me across threads as is the new fashion.

@bigmac, I generally respect your sensibilities and intentions, but I'd dial the sensitivity training back from kneejerk on this one. Early in his foray to the politics thread kwikki told me to get off the porch and put a shirt on (or cover my wifebeater). Whiskey Tango jokes are all good fun if you've been a contributor. He hadn't. Shouldn't be a big deal if I crack wise about aged UK pub flotsam.

The fey passive aggressivity had to go, and I knew what he was doing so I ramped it up--as I said I would--full-frontal, to see what shook loose. I've no problem with a ban. I also knew Dan was on it. (And told blutto at least a month ago that he was a sock.)

(UK snipes aside, I have loads of brilliant, giving, inspirational friends there.)

I depreciate the bans of Patrick and Scott.

Glad you are back, waiting for Patrick and Scott.

Understood and read what was happening , I was late to the discussion that morning otherwise I would have been caught up as well.

Place would have been some kind of fun if we had him here. A couple others. Would have been like the turn back the clock to the BlueTrain days.

 

[thehog]

Kwikki was always looking for a fight. He was banned for 1 month for a sexist comment then was back in the BoB locked thread defending sexism. He then would head into the clinic talk about "forum narratives" and defending Sky, Froome, Brits don't dope whilst pretending they might dope. Problem being, all of the factual information he pretended to provide was mostly wrong, he just made a lot of things up.

He'll be back again as another poster like the 13 other times he has been here prior.

I agree with this, unfortunately.

And this right here is why some people have very little faith in some of the mods. A mod showing a very clear bias against certain posters. People talk about ometra in cycling but it very clearly exists in the forum as well.

It is entirely possible to believe SKY dope without subscribing to all the nonsense that is thrown against SKY, very often distorted or just plain made up. I think that was the general point of Kwikki, but because he went against the overall clinic 'narrative' on SKY, they were given very little leeway, at least in comparison to certain other posters. Never saw anyone join the forum just to put Kwikki on ignore as happened recently concerning some of the doyens of the clinic.

A mod showing a very clear bias against certain posters.

Suspecting a member of being a sockpuppet is something derived solely by experience moderating the forum. This suspicion is meaningless because if they're posting comments it's obvious that any so called bias was not acted on. If it was, they would be permabanned.

I've been suspicious of kwikki since the moment he posted his first comment, but the regular forum wouldn't know that because there's a conversation that goes on behind the scenes.

And this right here is why some people have very little faith in some of the mods.

Then maybe this isn't the right forum for them. I do my best to moderate and administrate this forum and volunteer many many hours of my limited free time to help make this a clean, safe place to read and share opinions about the cycling lifestyle along with the rest of the moderation team. As always, if there's complaints about moderation please post them in the 'moderators' thread.

You can believe that Kwikki is a sockpuppet all you want, but as a mod making that view public is poor form and does demonstrate a bias whether you recognise that or not. Kwikki is not banned and can return if they so wish so no proclamations of sockpuppetry should be made until they are proven and banned.
Also, lets not forget there is a poster who was permabanned for being a sockpuppet roaming freely around this forum, so I do not really see the big issue if Kwikki is a sockpuppet or does that only apply if you are not in line with the clinic majority.

You do spend an awful lot of time talking about "narratives", "the majority" etc. but do little work in the threads to provide your own viewpoint.

Why not put some of the tinfoil you've got going on there and tell us in the Sky threads why you think they are clean and that marginal gains really do add up into race winning performances.

yes?

Flip, I go in the about the forum board and I see the same sky obsessive stuff you see in the asylum

And why would anyone with a modicum of intelligence bump a few hour old post, beats me but I guess you have your reasons

 

[gooner]

As I said, people are plenty capable of thinking that SKY/Brits, whoever dopes, but still point out incoorect 'facts' when they see them. That is the problem in the clinic, people view posters who correct disinformation as being sympathetic or defending whoever is being attacked, when they are in fact just pointing out BS.

This. 100%.

It's the logic they use to come to such a conclusion. That's why people continue to correct them.

The thing is, there are a number of other posters who think Sky dope, yet in my case, I never really respond to them. Might have something to with using facts and presenting their points in a coherent manner. The complete opposite to what those others do.

The CMP ban is harsh, when I said trolling I didn't actually mean it, and apologise for any confusion caused. I don't actually think he was trolling, it's what he thinks. It just gets kind of tiring and annoying after a while. The ban was unnecessary IMO.

I nearly fell out of my chair when I read this post. "What good is saving a couple of pounds in forearm muscle when it means you hit the tarmac once a week?"

I knew some back and forth was coming after that. There were some other good ones in there about statistics show the facts etc. Some really good stuff. :lol:

In the 1600's in Europe there was a phenomenon know as the ''Glass Delusion'. People thought they were made of glass so they couldn't be touched or face embassment as they would break.

You get the feeling that the Sky fans face the same delusion. They are so entrenched in a belief that Sky don't dope that they fear the very thought that it might be true. So they attempt to suppress and censor any mention that it could exist.

For the 21st century it can only be described as Bot Logic.

Did CheckMyPecs get banned for his signature (well, username) post on the stage thread? That would seem harsh. It was a throwaway post IMHO, not something in any way malicious, IMHO. Maybe he does it a bit too often, and that line is surely hard to draw, I know, but I haven't seen him bring it up in a while. Even the posters arguing with him weren't particularly aggrieved by it. I know I'm sticking up for the least popular opinion on the board, one that I've mocked before, but precisely that's why I think it's worth having unless it really gets out of hand. YMMV.

6 or 7 weeks ago I was accused of trolling by an administrator who was probably having a bad day and confused some terms. People here are often accused of trolling and get banned, sometimes unfairly. The same probably happened to CMP and some others.

I was banned for 2 weeks, because I received a warning and I told the moderator that most of them sucked at their task, since sometimes people here get insulted/trolled and nothing happens, even after reports are sent. Other times, people get banned for the vague excuse of "trolling". It's not coherent.

I know that moderators and administrators have a tough task, especially because they're giving up their free time without being financially rewarded, but here we're supposed to behave like bots.
