I've been called worse on these boards than anything Warrior said to anyone and none of those people were banned.

I think half of her posts were her defending herself against other people's non-topical attacks.

She was causing disruptions in so many threads with her endless flaming! I'm pretty sure others have been banned temporarily for this sort of thing (Angeldust and Napster come to mind).

Did you complain when they were banned, OD?

Did anyone tell her to calm down or she'd be banned? If yes, can you show me where?

And most of her replies were defending herself from attacks that came out of nowwhere. I'd be mad too.

Also, those other two people you mentioned that were banned I never even knew about. I was out-of-town when Napster was banned a long time ago.

But that does not matter. Each case is different and each banning is for different reasons, so don't try and imply I have a double standard because I don't. Thanks.

I did not imply that you had a double standard. I suspected that you did, so I asked. apparently you don't. I apologize.

Anyways, I'm of the opinion that she SHOULD have been warned before she was banned. She may have gotten a PM warning her, I do not know. Don't assume that I think she shouldn't have been warned.

And I'm glad you apologized for suspecting something that was wrong.

PS:

I asked a question trying to get more facts about what happened. I didn't ask for your reaction to if we should or should not give people warnings.

You, however, asked a question with regards to my specific reaction to other bannings taken by moderators.

Two different questions. Your question implied something about my opinion, mine did not imply anything about your opinion.

Was Frogger banned, I wonder?

Yes, DF did and warrior was being a potty mouth. The only other poster I've seen here so bad was Angeldust, but I highly doubt he'll be an alt, esp. a girl. He seems to have no problem 'speaking it', whether he gets banned or not.

Aha! Abbey, you are right. I did warn both Imp AND Warrior that if they didn't quit it with the potty-mouthed, off-topic arguing, they'd both get banned. After I said that, Imp seemed to come to her senses and calm down the swearing a bit, but Warrior did not.

Granted I am not a mod or anything, but I'm not stupid and I knew they'd get it if they didn't stop.

Good on the moderator that did the ban. I have read through the this and that of today and it is clear she was off her medication today.
There was no provocation for the outburst of foul language that she displayed here today.

:lolhit: She was defending herself from attacks and we've had way worse insluts thrown before. Some of these horrible insults were even thrown at ME. The irony and double standard is amazing.

I'd say if a long-time member were to act the same way, they would have been treated different just because of their history with the forum. But because Warrior is new, she is treated differently.

Bad decision made by Borg, no offense. WHY WAS SHE NOT GIVEN A WARNING...OR WAS SHE?

She's been a member for only two weeks and there are already four threads she posted on that became cuss-fests (her insults aren't even humorous or witty, which makes it even worse. Hell, I came up with better stuff in middle school). There's clearly something about her that causes conflict - most likely that she's over-sensitive and can't take a joke.

1. People don't like her because she brings a strong opinion to the table.

2. The attacks towards her aren't "jokes"

3. Give her a warning before just banning her.

2) Loud (and proud)
3) Bad at insults?
4) Posts a bunch of threads daily
5) Awful with spelling
6) Whines all the time

Frogger
05-02-2007, 05:51 AM
I agree. IMO Frogger's behavior was just as bad as Warrior's. worse in some ways because he has been around longer and knows better.
Was Frogger banned, I wonder?

In response to her nasty and ill thought out posts and the fact that she was constantly assigning views to me that were diametrically opposed to those I had posted I called her a dumbass. I did it not once, but just about every time she accused me of saying something that was just the opposite of what I actually said.

She on the other hand called people who disagreed with her, and even some who didn't but who she just couldn't understand fuck, cocksuckers and worse.

Maybe in your book calling someone a fuck because they disagree with you is at the same level as referring to them as a dumbass because they purposely misstate your position but the two things aren't the same in my book. They don't seem to be the same in the moderator's books either since I was not warned or asked to stop.

Were you to purposely misstate my position in the same trollish manner as Warrior I would call you a dumbass too and you would deserve the title.

Vilepagan

You were asked to stop by Borg.

Your response:

"Okay, Borg, I like you so I will stop calling her a Dumbass as soon as she stops acting like one. If she continues to misrepresent what I have posted I will continue to call her a Dumbass. Can't be fairer than that."

DarkFantasy96
05-02-2007, 07:51 AM
Aha, I forgot to add "deliberately misstates other posters' opinions" to my post about trolls...

Frogger
05-02-2007, 08:01 AM
I stand corrected, Vile. I was not warned but Borg did ask me to tone it down a bit. The difference between me and Warrior is that when Borg made his request I told him okay. Warrior has been asked many times by many people to stop the foul language and personal attacks and continues to do both.

I've had to deal with far worse posters and mean posters on this forum.

If the person being attacked does not view them as jokes, they aren't jokes I approve of. Sorry to say.

And don't come back and say, "well that's your opinion" and or "says you" because no shit, this IS my opinion and this is how I feel, even if you disagree.

I can't help to interpret it as Warrior over-reacting and throwing out the first stone so what am I missing, from your perspective? It seemed to me that Imp needed started slinging in defense. Just trying to see where you're coming from when you say that she was defending herself from attack.

I must agree miss sheila.
I reread some of this and it looked to me the she was being defensive from the gate. IMP only said great go for it, in my opinion.
I am new here so I haven't seen all the ins and outs here.
Overdose you seem a bit sensitive also on a lot of your postings. Do you feel you are being attacked when people post a challenge or comment that may or may not be directed to you?

So did Frogger, but you didn't ban him.

So does Trav and the Prat on a regular basis, but you don't ban them.

The lesson I learned is that since Frogger, et all. have been around longer they get away with more than someone who is new.

Also, they are all prefectly valid reasons to ban someone though I support her banning for other reasons. It is in the hands of the mods, there is no legal system here to check their reasoning or their methods of punishment and banning. It is a matter of opinion, after all, even if you disagree.

She was banned because she was acting like a friggin' fruitcake. She seemed to have no control over herself spouting off attacking anyone who spoke to her.

He doesn't attack everyone that posts to him.
He don't say you are having incestial affairs with your daddy or brother.
He doesn't say, fuck you, shove it bitch and die!!!
He doesn't scream, STFU!!!! to everyone.

She has a serious issue. Extreme paranoia and will attack anyone she 'thinks' is against her, even if your not. She flys off the handle with the greatest of ease.

Ask yourself this. If it were real life, would you want to be hanging out with a person with little to almost NO self control. I think not.

Look, I had a crackhead bust in my house a year or so ago and threaten myself and my family. I did what I had to do to get out of that situation. Her behavior reminds me sooo much of the meth head that lost his fucking mind, attacking us for no fucking reason but it was in his head.

I have no issue with her if she posts, as long as she gets a hold of herself and stops attacking us for no friggin' reason.
I was at a troll board and she acts EXACTLY like they do. You will have a hard time convincing me she is not a troll.
Until I see she changes and she gets a handle, I'll fight her back if she comes after me. Just like I did the crackhead.

I hope she calmed the hell down and took her medicine or whatever the hell she needs to maintain.

I have no issue with her if she posts, as long as she gets a hold of herself and stops attacking us for no friggin' reason.
I was at a troll board and she acts EXACTLY like they do. You will have a hard time convincing me she is not a troll.
Until I see she changes and she gets a handle, I'll fight her back if she comes after me. Just like I did the crackhead.

I hope she calmed the hell down and took her medicine or whatever the hell she needs to maintain.
...is that you in your avatar..?

Opinions can be moronic, just not wrong. Overdose's opinions are as moronic as they come.
could you try harder? i haven't had anything to argue about in the last 27 hours:@@:

Put Napster on ignore. You'd be like the 4th person to do so. It saves you a lot of space on your computer screen. :)

I can think of a few other "fruitcake" posters on here. If that is the criteria for being banned this board would be pretty lonely.

For pete's sake, Foolworth's whole "persona" is that of a fruitcake.
That may be true but she was rude, crude and damn right offensive.
She may well be a very nice lady but a lady does not need to go off on everyone that post in a thread she starts. If she is feeling attacked direct her attention to a moderator have them deal if she can not keep her mouth or fingers in check.
Everyone has bad days and a day to cool down is a picnic. Others have been told to keep it in check and had the common courtesy to do so. I think the moderator did the right thing.
If you feel attacked for your posting think before you post and make sure you have something worth saying rather then spewing foul language like a trucker wife with no teeth.

He doesn't attack everyone that posts to him. - warrior didn't attack me because I didn't attack her.
He don't say you are having incestial affairs with your daddy or brother. - that sounds like something napster would find funny.
He doesn't say, fuck you, shove it bitch and die!!! - That sounds like something Trav would say.
He doesn't scream, STFU!!!! to everyone. - Trav does that to me all the time. Warrior never did.



You make Warrior sound like she is doing something unusual. Lots of other people on here attack everyone they don't like and post obscenities. I know, I am a frequent target of exactly that kind of abuse but because some people have been around longer, or know the moderators personally, it is tolerated with them. It wasn't tolerated with her because she was new and unfamiliar.

She was very upfront in her profile about her problems and frankly I can tell from some people's behavior that she isn't the only one with those kinds of problems on here. At least she is honest about it. I give her credit for that.

If their concern was really the level of civility on the boards, then I don't think that the attacks upon her should have been tolerated and should have been stopped sooner by the moderators. I was disappointed to see one of them actually justify the attacks on her. She was ganged up on, repeatedly. I think she was treated horribly. Her reaction to that kind of abuse was not unforeseeable.

You can only beat a dog for so long before it bites you.

It seems Dharmabum is in full whine mode lately. All he has done is post about how people are picking on Warrior or picking on him. For a guy who spends so much time attacking other people he is awfully sensitive when others respond in kind. He called Decka a Dumbass and thought it was funny as hell but has been asking the moderators to ban me because I called Warrior a Dumbass and has been whining about others calling Warrior names.

Can you say hypocrite?

Question to Vile and/or Borg.
Is there a process you guys go thru before banning people,or is it just a 'quick decision' thing.

They write the names of various posters on sheep knuckle bones. Periodically they throw the bones and whatever names come out on top are banned. It is all very scientific.

Borg has been known to observe the flights of crows and base his bannings on that.


Hardly anyone is banned and that is as it should be. The only automatic banning offenses I know of are revealing personal info without permission and spamming.

Foolsworth isn't aggressive to the point of pissing off nearly everyone he's addressed on the forums.

You seem to be implying that you've been treated unfairly because you don't know one of the moderators "personally". If you have a complaint, be specific, don't make vague suggestions of improper behavior on the part of the mods. Recently, I asked you in one of the threads to chill out a bit, and your response was reasonable. At least you seem to have gotten the message. Now you seem to be suggesting you were treated unfairly, and I'm curious as to why you didn't say something at the time. Also, I'm curious as to why, with all the complaints about being insulted you've posted on the boards, you haven't once complained directly to the mods?


It wasn't tolerated with her because she was new and unfamiliar.

No doubt that's true, but despite your implication there's nothing wrong with that. When a long-time member strays from the appropriate we as mods can look at their past behavior and decide what the appropriate action would be based on that. We can look at their past contributions to the forum, and also make some judgements about their temperament and responsiveness to a moderator's intercession. With a new member that's much more problematic. We don't know how they'll react, and in fairness, they probably don't have as good a feel for the forum as a long-time member would.

I didn't ban warrior, and to be honest I don't think I would have, given the circumstances. However, a 24-hour ban isn't that big of a deal, and I suspect the message it sent was at least heard, but only time will tell. I will say that in one of the threads recently warrior was sparring with two other members and when I stepped in to calm things down, the two members basically said "ok" and warrior's response was a version of "they started it". This isn't a good indicator that warrior is amenable to moderation. When I step into a conflict as a moderator I can tell you I'm not the least bit interested in who "started it", I'm only interested in calming down the situation so everyone can enjoy the forums. One reason I didn't step into the warrior conflict earlier is because I was hoping the situation would resolve itself. It did not. Hopefully when warrior returns, as I suspect she will, things will be a bit calmer, but I don't hold out a great deal of hope for that.

No doubt that's true mike, but the response to him has been much more mixed than the response to warrior. Some people find Foolsworth to be aggravating and some find his posts entertaining. The reaction to warrior's posts seemed universally negative, and it wasn't until she was banned that I saw anyone come to her defense.
