Member Suspension Appreciation/Depreciation Thread

[the sceptic]

Parker and TailWindHome tried to explain Wiggins winning the Tour as a “few extra efforts” over 3000km vs the track. Apparently GC favourites never attack on the flats and they can rest in the pack until those handful of efforts. Riding 3000kms over varying terrain is easy, apparently.

when Jack Bobridge wins the 2015 tour it will come as a surprise to no one.

I think Hugh's explanation used to be the truth, but it hasn't been the full story for a long while now. We all know there is a handful of very vocal posters who do bring up Sky at every opportunity, no matter how tangential to the discussion at hand and regardless of what anyone had posted before them.

good post, but wait...

i cant recall posting in any of the pro-sky or anti- sky treads, so my rep is 100% neutral. but since the obviously off topic discussion is allowed, i will pose my question - isn't action generally equal the reaction...if the anti-sky fans stop will the sky/anti sky threads sink too ?

it is like creating a bunch sock puppets, then throwing them all into the fire to stoke the fire, and when they all caught and the perma ban is due, they the original suddenly become the member of the civil community....

But ChrisE is no longer around.

I think he went to some Apple Forums to discuss disc drives. Not sure.

You may well be right, I tend to check myself out of those threads after a certain point.

not sure wtf are you about...

YOU are still around.

and your latest sock puppet was killed just recently in a public setting by a mod, if memory serves, by the bison guy..it's somewhere in the banned thread...

anyways, the point was - an action always causes an equal reaction...people think they can win Internets if they multiply (legally by piling up) or illegally (like you and others).

the reality is, all the bickering is about winning and little to do with being right or wrong about dopers (you should know )

i will admit though, i am very happy to be piling up on your landsman from texas and yes, we won....i AM guilty there...you ? those of us familiar with your incarnations are less than impressed...but again, its water under the bridge.

Guys, please stay on topic and clinic free...

Guys, please stay on topic and clinic free...

don't mean to be negative, but have to ask,where the mods have been for what, almost a week of dozens upon dozens of the clearly offtopic posts that have been nothing but a continuation of the clinic 'wars'.

i just estimated that you ferryman, if it was you, have just deleted btwn 50 to 100 posts in a single thread ! to put it very conservatively...is the cn moderation has become this ***, the primary meaning of the word being, slow ???

sounds either as the mods have taken an extensive Christmas break or they could not not have decided which side to become a party to...

or perhaps its something else ?

 

[Hugh Januss]

Nuclear scatter-shot moderation. Interesting what they deemed still appropriate vs. what they removed.

Python, I'm sorry I stepped in just after you had posted. You weren't the spark for it. No, I'm not responsible for the deletions you refer to although I am for the dozen or so in this thread (doesn't it show to you which Mods delete the posts? It does to me).

There has been some non Mod activity but now that the season has kicked off again, it will pick up.

No sides with the Mods as you know...

I just removed the posts that were better suited for the various Clinic related threads..you know the ones..

The ones that were not personal attacks?

Man I'm disappointed about the deletions.

Did you attack someone Hugh?

 

[TheSpud]

I'm disappointed that Laurels posts got deleted the night he was banned - it was amusing to watch it unfold as he went postal.

I would never

Well this is certainly the thread for personal attacks right?

Like a roller coaster. How long can be hang on before the ban hammer hits?

What an odd question, coming from someone who recites this in front of his mirror on a daily basis.

Also, like the "be" part.

An effin' great post, Hoggy.

Do you miss Lance?

 

[Cal_Joe]

Do you miss Lance?

Not really. But considering how many times you post daily in any current Lance thread, my guess is that you would shed a few tears if he was not a topic of conversation.

Effin' great post Hoggy.

Clasicomano's comment was, of course, unacceptable. But it is ridiculous that Ryo keeps being allowed back to post his vile, repulsive filth, to which other users understandably take offense and, occasionally, overreact as clasicomano did.

Glad to see that Ryo finally got a ban too.

Hey hey hey guys guys guys. If we could not nearly break this website everytime Froome and Contador ride somewhere at the same time that would be awesome. I was just beginning to think this place was pretty cool, but I've never been around for the mud flinging contests...
