Okay, I admit it. I didn't ban him. He'll be back in 14 days
Once upon a time, I volunteered at the zoo because I wanted to take care of the animals.
Brizz is a moderator because he wants to take care of the forum.
Every day, I would go clean the monkey cage. There were five monkeys in the cage.
Every day, Brizz cleans up the forum. There are many people on the forum.
And every day, this one monkey would throw its sh*t at me.
Ditto.
But I knew it was part of the job. And people liked that monkey.
Brizz shot the monkey.
I think that political thread related RO's/bans/verbal warnings are lopsided. It seems like the group with the opposite political views to whoever the mod/admin is generally gets the brunt of it, regardless of how good/bad each group's conduct is. Just a general observation that I have had.
It might seem that way. Just reviewing the logs, however, all the Thread Crapper/Troll and Harassment infractions given over the last two years in this forum (by active mods or admins) and it doesn't look that way to me.
We've looked at the list of infractions. If this is happening, it is in extremely rare circumstances.Must agree a bit about the lopsidedness ... While it isn't egregious or anything, and those who do catch the ire of the hammer-wielding mods tend to deserve what's coming to them, otoh those same mods seem very willing to look the other way when it comes to similar or worse offenders of basic human decency (names hardly needed I'm sure) whose views happen to more-or-less line up.
That aside, it's probably not said enough, all things considered you all do quite well, and thanks for all of it
They don't mod because they like to keep the forum in order, they just like power and being able to control/censore what they don't like, easy fact of life and humanity.
It may have started that way, but it's long gone

If you're a terrible poster and you post an insane comment with personal insults to senior members or mods you should expect the consequences.
And looking back through the last 4 pages of his posts, only 5 or so were useful, most of which were related to 'what racing game rocks?'. The rest were full of insults and rage.He was here and there suggesting things either related to gaming or hardware.
Make me a mod and I will post hot anime babes every day.
Sorry, not to pick nits but you lost me.... How does looking at a list of infractions help when reflecting on past incidents of offensive behavior for which no infractions were given?We've looked at the list of infractions. If this is happening, it is in extremely rare circumstances.
I banned Tool.
