Moderation

I would have guessed on the bee keeper one. Probably a Queen Bee that rules over them all and no one gets banned.

Have the rules on trolling been reversed and I missed it?

 

[RedheadDane]

So far, I'd file it under annoying, but basically harmless.

 

[Lequack]

Well that is a downer.

The Forum might not be dying...
but not for lack of trying.

Still not sure how banning people is supposed to "make conversations run more smoothly".

You do the crime, you do the time .... like the sin bin in hockey.

Guess we have different definitions of "crime"...

If you don't get it now, you never will.

If you know that you will never get it, why continue asking for explanations (that you often have already previously gotten)?

This is getting ridiculous. There is 80% trolling in some threads right now. If anything, more bans should be given in my opinion - refraining oneself from insulting anyone should not be reason enough to be allowed posting.

Deliberately derailing threads and provoking others basically prevents any meaningful discussion. It has been weeks now since I last read any worthy exchange of opinions…

I have moved the discussion about where rider criticism spills over to trolling into its own thread for ease of finding it in the future. Please do continue to contribute to it.

Didn't you forget one post above?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Fair point: it was before the deliberate start of looking for a definition started, but I've copied it there, and left it here so that your post doesn't look odd.

If I get banned I might or might not have requested it

I cannot make it make sense.

Must be something longer term, right?

It's temporary, so it could be a voluntary cool-off period.

Why would you assume that? It’s a serious question - are there any indicators how long a ban were talking about?

No, I just like jumping to conclusions.

So Red Rick has become the "Trotsky" of the CN Forum?

Voluntary cool off, I didnt want Armchair to get *** for it, so I decided to post here but then I bottled it by trying to be cryptic and funny about it.

I did give a thumbs up to Netserk's correct guess about that, as the nearest I felt I could come to publicly confirming detail of a moderator action.

So, you knew you needed a cool off, but you also knew you probably wouldn't be able to resist the temptation to log in anyway?

Can’t hate on someone who knows how to cut themselves off and the temptation. Red Rick found his enabler (themselve) and won.

Was it the Liege thread that pushed you over the edge?
