Getting on the Banned Wagon?

[C-2]

So, PVHC's thread got me thinking. How does this work?

I've been on every boating message board there is, and other message boards too, since they appeared on the net...but I've never found myself being banned, placed in time-out, infracted, retracted, redacted....nothing.

Is it really due to pissing off a single person, or is it that some people just don't know when (or can't) STFU?

Which is it? :tongue:

[riverrunner1984]

I dont know as I have never been banned either.
Maybe we can ask Grads today when he gets back. :D

[HB Vic]

This should go well LOL :D

I received a few Mod threats for calling him out on specific factual things....so if something is directed at a particular person and they have "the power" to be an ass to you then I can see it happening..........or if your comment is unpopular by the masses:D:D then the lynchmob comes to court.
These days I go with the Cest La Vie attitude and just let it be. Life's too short to waste good energy on petty internet squabbles.

I think it's the "STFU" part you mentioned :biggrin:

I've managed to keep myself off the "Banned Wagon" as well, mainly because of 2 reasons

1. I don't give a fuck

2. I use a lot of these :D

that's because you don't know where the buttons are and when to push them.

It can be due to a single person. Or it can be the general wishes of the core group.
It can go the opposite way as well. Grads can shit on the floor and get away with it here, because here is like the cute puppy, not so much on other sites.

I got my first vacation for using the "C" word..(im sure you can figure it out) It got me a weeks vacation..but ever since I might get a PM to watch where I'm going with my subjects but thats about it...

I think if your comments are unpopular with the masses, then you just take your lumps and move on. Or if you can't move on, then I guess that's what leads to the point of no return.

I miss half the crap that takes place leading to people being banned, but then again, I don't go looking for it, either.

It's just odd, same people, different place, same results.

I agree with you Ziggy, don't sweat the petty. :)

How did u know? LOL

I enjoy pushing buttons, I pushed one too hard I guess, it's all good , they aren't pissed and neither am I. We'll break bread again or his head, LOL!!

That's kind of my style too. I enjoy all the input, stories, and pics, but take other's opinions and advice on an "as-is" basis, lol.

Naw, none of that stuff matters.

It only matters if someone that can directly affect the re-sale or advertising "value" of a given site is upset.

For instance, I can drive Brown straight to the insane asylum on any given day, force him into repeated phone calls to RD to "make Tommy stop being mean" and RD will ask me to lay off so Brown will quit pestering him.


If I did even a fraction of that to some one who actually mattered, like a sponsor, I'd be beaten and discarded like a renegade razor scooter thug.

That's because its all about the MONEY. SHOW ME THE MONEY! '

Money can, will and does trump all, including integrity.

Exactly my point, Jenkins!

[ChumpChange]

I got banned once for indirectly(okay it was directly) calling a moderator a Douche. The funny part was after the banning, the owner of the site called me up and profusely apologized to me, telling me that I shouldn't have been banned. He asked me if I could just sit out the three days so he didn't piss of his moderator by unbanning me since his moderator works for free. lol

Not defending him at all, but that's a lame ass statement. Money to you and money to me must mean two very different things!!

If someone referred to you as a DOUCHE and it was well deserved...would said person get a vacation? (since you are a mod)...or would you really looked back at what happened and realized you are a douche and no punishment was deserved?

No vacation here. It's the internet afterall and I don't have an iron fist ego. My non-internet life is pretty awesome so I don't have to make myself feel superior on the internet to offset my non-internet life. ;)

[Eli]

I've heard of some people getting banned for things they didn't even do on the site. I.e. Posting something on a different website that hurt the feelings of the owner...err...person who took pride in banning us...err...them. :D At least that was the "excuse".

But, truth is banning me from the other site is like telling me I can't go to Siberia. At the time of the banning, I had no desire to post there and had pretty much stopped. I think it was just a way of saying she doesn't post here bc I banned her vs. She doesn't post here bc she doesn't want to.

Since I'm being candid here, when I first started posting here it was all because of Stainless' encouragement so PM him your grievances. :)

Seems to me there was something personal "over there" between you guys from the very get go, and that friction simmered all along:redface:

I was banned from the night rider forums once. For trolling. Lol.
