Do you think we can keep it at a civil debate level? When Skuzzy has to edit threads from parolees, answer questions from members who want an ignore feature so they won't have to read the parolees, and generally has to go back to spending a disporportinate amount of time policing the boards, I have to believe he regrets letting the parolees back, and he does reserve the option to undo what he may believe was a mistake.

Personally I don't care if some of you get banned again- indeed, some of you richly deserve to get banned again, and you've been back for less than a week-  I just don't want you taking me down with you.

So try to keep it civil, K?

How sweet.

HTC's computer way of saying "computer potato" or something. Can't recall what I read

ohh. And how do half of you even get banned?!?! God... I dont even try to watch what I say and as i recall, I havent even violated a rule that got skuzzy's attention. Whatever you do, it must be pretty serious.

Maybe you're just naturally predisposed to doing what you're told.

Now go get me some tacos

I think Lasz might have gotten a PNG back about 2002 during the Beetle Wars....

(sigh)

here is something you could try. print out the copy of the posting rules. hang it beside your computer so that you can read it and what you type. make sure you don't break any rules before you post what you write. here is a link to the rules,
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,228945.0.html
be sure to check the rules once in a while to see if any has changed and need to print an updated copy.
as for why some never seem to get banned, they didn't get reported.
if you feel a rule has been broken, there are several ways of reporting it. one way is listed in the rules. in the post is a link to report to moderator (not sure if it works).

that would be a question Skuzzy could answer.
does the report to moderator link in the posts actually work?

Either the "Beetle Wars" are some kind of inside joke about volkswagens or i have no idea, but i wouldn't really mind knowing what this is your refering too. But... i feel i'd be anoying people to ask and bringing up bad memories ...

Beet1e was, well ummm, seemed to be a highly emotional, poster from across the pond (Atlantic, British). the war was a flame fest more or less.
Guns, Religions, Politics have the tendencies to easily turn into a flame fest.

Oh yeah, most of the parolees richly deserved to be banned for their past transgressions---me, I didn't commit my crime in the O'Club, but rather in General Discussions.

I'd come home after drinking shots of Crown Royal half the night, turned on The O'Club and was greeted by a message saying The O'Club had been closed by Pyro, I think it was. I blinked, tried to fathom what was wrong, went onto General Discussions and asked if they'd at least archive The O'Club. I waited, didn't get an answer, and used a bit stronger language in reasking the question...hey Pyro, will you at least archive the damn things? In my drunken state I somehow felt they'd stolen my intellectual property, and I wasn't going to take that lying down...so I waited, asked the question again, got no response and after that it got real blurry- I made several more posts, each one progressively angrier, and I believe in my last post I made a few disparaging remarks about Texas, and about how some staff members appeared to be missing that all important 21st apendage, and how I was going to sue them for The O'Club archives, and yadda yadda yadda...and then I passed out.

I awoke the next morning, went into General Discussions and discovered I'd been declared PNG for my previous nights' posting spree. I also noticed my nine post rant took place over twenty two minutes and thirty three seconds, which shows just how slow the time goes by without The O'Club, especially when you're drunk, and all my posts took place at about 3:30 AM Texas time, so of course Pyro didn't answer...so anyway I got banned, but for me since there was no O'Club it was like being thrown out of your favorite bar the day it burns down so it was no big thing, until they brought it back.

I believe The O'Club was restored partly because they saw just how passionate I felt about the place, and they had to fear a general uprising might occur...so as far as I'm concerned sure, I deserved to be banned and I apologize now to them for my disparging remarks, but I was as much a political prisoner as anything else- a Nelson Mandella,or a Tommy Chong, if you will- rather than a common name calling, inciteful thug like others who were banned were.

Up until my ban 3500 posts with only one Skuzzification edit is testimony to my good manners, and for those of you who signed up while I was away you will soon find out just what a good citizen and all around nice guy I am.
