Member Suspension Appreciation/Depreciation Thread

Re: Re:

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

Could you not find a smaller one

Creating a Sock months in advance just to boast if and when Trump won is pretty darn sad...... Well done Foxxy!

One wonders what the next Sock will be named

Re: Re:

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...

Mark L

3 bans in one year!

Come back and see theHog when you hit 28

I was banned for an entire year...you guys are all lightweights.

Re:

Really have know idea why I got a month ban for some fairly innocuous comments, perhaps a mod could PM me as to what caused such a lengthy ban.

See, this is what I mean. I got banned for a year, and I got banned for a year because I was being an a$$hole to the wrong guy. I had a choice. I could have stopped posting the s**t that got me banned, but I didn't.

You guys need to grow a set and realize it is a freaking online forum. If you can make a year and still get out of bed and do your job, love your family, and ride your bike...it ain't that big of a deal.

Hopefully Miburo will use all his bans for the off-season, I need him around when the important races get going (re: Contador's races).

What did he get banned for btw?

Notice how no one gets banned anymore since ebandit left. Best thing that could have happened to the forum IMHO.

Coincidence + off-season.

 

[Red Rick]

I don't think that's a discussion worth having. And yes, off season.

What happened with the ebandit? Someone hack his account again?

He hasn't logged into his account in months, I assume it's because he felt mistreated by mods but I could be wrong....

The little feller should come back. It was fun to watch and read sometimes.

Hope all had a HAPPY NEW YEAR SO FAR.

15 days without a ban! Surely that's some sort of record

Re:

Technically we perma ban all spammers but don't announce the ban to the forum for obvious reasons. Needless to say, we get spammed daily....

 

[Red Rick]

Yeah, we nuked a spammers today. I actually checked and it seems we went 5 days without any bans at all. I call babysteps.

 

[Benotti69]

need to check the insults flying in the disc brakes thread and see nuh nuh no babysteps.

Re:

I noticed the Lemond thread is still closed.
turning Lemond into a taboo topic doesn't seem like a step forward either, although sure enough, you'll have less bans that way.

Re:

Whoah, there's some very personal stuff going on between certain posters, right?

I would just step back, get the popcorn ready, and let the *** fly. (No moderating necessary, I would think.)

Seems like there is a personal connection influencing the discussion there. The whole thread had turned into a broken record long ago and just seemed to be stirring up arguments.

The Lemond fan boys like the "safe space".

I don't see it that way at all. But as a mere spectator of the clinic I would just say...

Go gather your facts, and based on those make your claims

Otherwise make another subforum called - this is what I suspect, cannot be sure, but I definitely suspect.

That goes a long way in proving Glenn right.

no doubt !!!

 

[Irondan]

I have no idea what this has to do with the actual topic of the thread.

Please post any comments/complaints about moderation in the proper thread.
