By writing a bunch of words that basically say "no we're not going to tell you anything" you call as a useful contribution/participatoin, well I think many will pile on as well. Maybe its best to follow the old adage, if you have nothing good to add then its best not to add anything at all.

-----------------------------------------------------

For the rest: The mods once again follow the UCI's excellent rules and transparency behind closed doors procedures look equally as competent together and just.

Ebandit! Crazy days man... clinic baiting was correct but 1 month for what the mods think is trolling - we don't know what airstream's thoughts were when he posted those things! Maybe he wasn't trolling..!

What's going on?

Everyone accuses airstream of trolling for weeks on end.

airstream gets banned eventually.

Now everyone jumps to his defence?

Careful what you wish for.

 

[Cyivel]

I never once accused the stream of trolling.

[pedaling squares]

Yeah, I think he once got a week for calling a guy pig headed.

Genius simply brilliant

 

[sublimit]

Airstream is a modern day hero. I think he's well within his rights to call the mods "pig headed" if and when he gets back.

He just has a different opinion usually and cant be compared to those insufferable people on the spam/fitness thread.

Well I guess in this process we now know why you choose your username. Very appropriately chosen, kudos on that one.

And this is apropos commentary--for all to see?

why isnt Willbick banned yet? obvious skybot

 

[sittingbison]

Well done for your insightful contribution Parrot23, it really adds to the current debate on airstream. Chapeau

Really makes me feel like contributing to the discussion

BTW this is the one thread that gives some leeway for members to express themselves.

Let me tell you something about AirStream, Dude.

He's hands down one of the best posters in the racing forum. An independent mind. Nobody's fool. Doesn't care what the prevailing opinion is; just states his case, well reasoned, and concise.

Says a lot that he's banned. There you go. Think about it.

 

[sittingbison]

perhaps this is what has prevented him from being banned until now?

to take a pro sky stance

why? call them to be banned and insult them with petty name calling...................

If you or any other forum leader could articulate why airstream got banned for a month it'd be greatly appreciated. It's still unclear to me, despite your best(?) efforts. It still screams "thought police" to me. I get that some members report his posts all the time, because they don't like his opinions and posting style, but a large number of complaints or reported posts isn't sufficient reason to hand out a warning and/or ban, IMO. Especially when dealing with unpopular opinions. The people who complain could be hypocrites, also (as I suspect is often the case.)

I get the impression, also going by ferryman's (not so recent) comments on airstream's user profile, that if someone's posts get reported a lot, that's pretty much all it takes to give them a warning, and, eventually a ban, for "trolling."

Precisely, if the group dislikes the opinion expressed and complains enough, CN moderators are probably under relentless pressure to deal with the poster as if he or she were a troller.

The vast majority of the complaints will be against the free thinker. Anything the free thinker says is going to stand out like a sore thumb (="trolling", when it's not).

The mods will be presented with a 10:1 complaint ratio (10 against the free thinker; 1 against the groupthink).

That's why the former get banned. There are many examples recently (each was a freethinker--no surprise there).

I'm waiting to see someone who stands with the groupthink getting banned. I bet it will be a long wait.

 

[The Hitch]

the post airstream was finally banned for was not against the rules and a month ban seems harsh when compared to others, but it's also clear to everyone that the raison detre of the airstream account is to troll, flame, bait certain posters as much as an alleged non native speaker can and that he was constantly getting himself into trouble for things like derailing threads and trying to talk clinic in the pro section.

So it's hillarious to see Parrot now trying to make airstream into Martin Luther King Jr.
