No doubt.

I'm just saying that I wouldn't care whether anyone "questioned my decision" or not, and wouldn't feel the need to ban anyone who did.

I don't like seeing regulars get banned for several months or permanently but when they do it's always a facepalm moment because it could have easily been avoided.

In Bill's case I'll never understand why he decided to call out a moderator over a rule change and we know how that turned out. Darinaldi was surely aware that posting what he did would make things personal. Both avoidable.

by the way, i'm finishing up my school stuff in less than 7 days. i'll be back here more.

who got banned? while your finger is on the ban button, work out a deal for chuzzle and thelolshack if you will.

The first I, personally, think was misconstrued. Bill tried to make actual conversation and suggest the mod read a thread that might help him in his training (as he said, he didn't know where he was at, training wise) and the mod stated that he didn't read it, but would take it as condescension. (I was there for all of the posts, watched it all go down, the subsequent banning and deletions and what I feared was going to result in my own banning for asking honest questions).

IMO, D's bannable post wasn't "questioning mod authority/actions", as his statement was something along the lines of "Whoever banned ____ can lick my sack." But, whatever. What's done is done.

by the way, the last episode of SNL had a piece where they made fun of Aussies. I lol'd and thought of Dom.

If you were around more, you could have enjoyed both of my bannings a bit more. But no, you were all about drive by postings and couldn't savor the moment.

i do remember the time you were banned for 2 years or something and we were all counting down the days.

[therorschach]

i've never been banned, ever. im like the muhahammid ali of bb.com posters

That was humorous. Fortunately, for me, (and unfortunately for you all) it was cut at like 9 months.

Can't really argue with that.

I never was quite sure of all the details surrounding Bill's initial ban, though based on his past posting I gave him the benefit of the doubt that any trouble he stirred wasn't intentional, and I said as much. I'm pretty sure Darinaldi knew what would likely happen, but he wanted to have his say anyway. Definitely avoidable, and I can see how it would be interpreted as provocation. Then again, it would have been easy enough to ignore the comment.

Neither would have rustled my jimmies but there are around 40 mods here, some will be more trigger happy than others, so unless you know them well I'd just avoid confrontations. In Bill's case he didn't respect the original ban so he was banned permanently. As I said, this is facepalm stuff.

Go fuk yourself San Diego

Stay classy, IM2Burgandy

It's funny isn't it: god forbid somebody's fragile feelings are hurt in here because they're told they're unfunny, aggravating, etc.

Meanwhile ridiculous racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, and the whole nine runs rampant with nobody giving a flying fudge in other sections.

My feelings have never been hurt. You are all asshollllios.

I negged because I cared.

You just love to neg.

I guess I'm not always online when problems occur. Either way if you treat those guys with respect, as you would a boss at work or a cop, there shouldn't be any problems.

I've been on both sides of the fence so I can understand the frustration and questioning what is fair, etc.

What I can tell you is if you were a moderator for a while, especially looking after the Misc., you'd probably develop a much shorter fuse and ultimately tolerate less BS. If you've got a 9-5 job, family, you train a few nights a week, you're not going to waste all your time moderating carefully dissecting every single post that gets reported, given you're working for free. You'd try to quickly identify if a rule was broken, infract/ban/delete/close, and move on to the next one.

At the end of the day much like officials in sport, it's a thankless job.

Can I play too, kvk? I like this game.

1) John Cusack--Funny.
2) Hummus---Delicious.
3) The Beatles (Overrated?)--Most overrated band in Rock history
4) Fantasy Football---Life
5) Motorsports---Pointless
6) Ali Larter ---Meh
7) Rachel Weisz--Meh
8) Best Bond/Best Bond movie---Sean Connery, Goldfinger
9) British comedy (Like/Dislike? Provide examples.)---Some of it's funny. Some of it's not.
10) Breasts or butts? Breasts. Poop comes out of butts. Milk comes out of breasts. That's all the evidence I need.

FINE! etiquette...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Is that what we're doing now?

Okay, taintrot I need your opinions on the following:

1) John Cusack
2) Hummus
3) Queens of the Stone Age Singer (Overrated?)
4) Fantasy motorsports
5) Football
6) Ali Larter
7) Rachel Weisz
8) Best Bond/Best Bond movie
9) British comedy (Like/Dislike? Provide examples.)
10) Breasts or butts? Or if you're gay (NTTAWWT) Gyllenhaal or Gyllenhaal?

1) Still hasn't climbed into the top 3 of my pet peeves list, but is in the top 5.
2) Delicious on almost everything.
3) He looks like he needs a bunch to the head.
4) I'm almost done with my 2012 bracket.
5) Awesome, especially with nachos.
6) Little too thin for my tastes, but still pretty smokin'.
7) Super bangin.
8) Tons are good in their own ways. Some more ridiculous than others. They all have special places in my heart except On Her Majesty's Service. Apparently I haven't seen that one, but from the old trailer I found, it looks really dumb.
9) Monty Python is dumb. Top Gear is cool. Gordon Ramsay is awesome. Angry Brits are funnier than funny Brits, IMHO.
10) Yes. Jake is a handsome fella but his sister is pretty 4/10wouldnotglanceherwaytwice
(no taintrot)

11) Munn or Wilde?

Newton John

Stop your whining you bearded woman.

PS-- I ordered a few Animal shirts off of here, $15 bucks each. I thought it was a sweet ass deal.

[Farley1324]

I got an infraction, once upon a time.

bb.com no like big hugeness

That's all I got. Sorry I cannot contribute more.

[kvk1]

I hate Animal shirts.

[adamdavidson47]

If I tell you guys a story, you promise not to make fun of me? Something happened to me at the gym the other day. An accident.

[adamdavidson47]

You hate everything except for Queens of the Stoneage and flavored coffee creamer.

Very true. I don't agree with his original ban. The follow up was a definite facepalm incident.

6) Ali Larter ---Meh

STFU & GTFO!

[VoxExMachina]

I thought On Her Majesty's Secret Service was a good Bond movie. I know Lazenby was a one-hit-wonder, but there was nothing wrong with the film itself, IMO. It was more "serious" than a lot of other ones (especially the Roger Moore era). In a way, it's a lot more like the newer Craig movies.

[theshoupguy]

Animal shirts have the worst sizing consistency of any other shirt brand/company I've tried.

But I feel like a super hardcoar beastmaster hyooge guy when I wear them, which is all that counts.
