Getting on the Banned Wagon?

[gn7]

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


2. I use a lot of these

You can say ANYTHING if you use enough smileys

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

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!

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?

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'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. 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

That damn Stainless must have been a bit rusty that day

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