DA bandit got the bannination. He asked Dan and I guess Dan delivered. LMAO

What a weird exchange bandit. Was that account hacked again or what?

Sure is unseemly when a poster touts his ability to ban you in a post...and then does it.
I think it's pretty clear that the message was to stop the off topic posting. He continued and got banned for it.

Agreed. ebandit is a wind up merchant. He likes to push the limit and good that he was banned, I would have liked it to be longer.

This, ebandit never starts discussions and contributes little if anything just jumps in with windups.
 
I don't think eBandit is all that bad. I don't particularly like the ...... thing as it seems to break up his posts, but I've never seen him as a wind up merchant. Who cares if he never starts discussions? I mean, is that a new rule now?

Its known as an "ellipsis". I think when you and ebandit try to wind up people together, then it gets out of hand. Its been good that he has been getting banned a lot recently. The forum is so much easier to read and respond.

Well, when you can point to posts where me and ebandit try to wind people up together I might believe you. <edited by mods>
 
guilty!..i'm guilty of posting a couple of lighthearted posts in the suspension
+/- thread appreciating not being banned

..and when mod steps in convo threatening ban with no cause..i'm guilty of answering....
..'that's not funny'

so weeks ban for off topic posting is fair?....v next ban week off for insulting
other members

clearly irondan thinks little of myself or my posts...that's my 3 rd ban in a
year each for flimsy reasons...a period in which no other mod found it necesary
to issue a single warning or infraction...

I can assure you that Irondan was not the only mod who found it necessary to ban you. He was just the one that carried it out.

Until the 2016 Tour I was the only active mod for almost the entire preceding year, that would make sense that no other mod found it necessary to ban you for your transgressions. :rolleyes:
 
Re:

silvergrenade said:
Why was ebandits post removed?
I think he made a very valid point about this forum where banning has been made the first resort instead of it being the last.
Ebandit deleted his own post.

First of all, ebandit asked for a ban.... so he got one.

Secondly, we (mods) are not bound by any forum policy that states "banning should only be used as a last resort".

The moderation team discusses each forum infraction individually and acts upon them as necessary. Sometimes this results in a ban, sometimes a warning or sometimes we delete a comment. Many times we do nothing, it all depends on the situation.
 
no way! even i'm not stoopid enough to ask to be banned


irondan....If you want to be banned I'll grant that request, just say so....
ebandit....was that funny?......the 1st time...

clearly i am unimpressed...and NOT asking to be banned

irondan was the only person talking about banning ..no
wonder they were so keen to pull the plug

...and not for off topic posts as stated.........personally i'm sure
no other mod would have banned in this circumstances/not many members
would have been picked on so by irondan

Whether or not you deserved to be banned is one question.
Whether or not posters should joke about banning you is another.

The former is just another judgment call.
The latter is repulsive BS.

I'm not sure what you're referring to.
