CommandoBoy Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 *the php database breathes a massive sigh of relief* <{POST_SNAPBACK}> HEHE. So now on i'll at least try to get 3-5 posts a day. When the Xbox360 comes out or when I get a good AEG. That will drop to 1 or 2. Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I'll try to post as little as possible for now on. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, not as little as possible. Three posts max per day, and starting NOW! Like HaVoC said, you have two more left today. Link to post Share on other sites
HaVoC Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Look, if someone asked me if I'd been 'penetrated', I'd f***ing kill them, too. It's a horrible thing to say, to ANYONE. No, not as little as possible. Three posts max per day, and starting NOW! Like HaVoC said, you have two more left today. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1 left Link to post Share on other sites
expvideo Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 expvideo i was just saying some of the women on these boards may have gotten offended commando boy didnt apologize until i pointed it out all i am trying to say is people get offended by certain things and he didnt realize that. thats all i am trying to say -jacob <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Perhaps he didn't appologize because he didn't feel what he said was wrong. If that is the case, I'd say he's appologized profusely in this thread. He made a mistake, and ended up looking like a sexist nazi. He's appologized, and admitted that he was wrong for doing it. I'd say that is what I'd expect, not a ban. Aaron Link to post Share on other sites

Since no one saw it the way he did, and it ended up hurting people's feelings, he has appologized. I would say that is acceptable. Not good, but I can live with an appology, and I don't need to see heads roll over a bad joke. Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost_Rider Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Expvideo, you know I respect you as an individual. Please realise, that whilst this incident appears to have dominated the discussion, it is only one of many. I challenge you to go through his posts and find a single one that contributes in any meaningful way to the forum. The facts are: He was told, and so were we that he was back on sufferance, and if he didn't shape up he'd be gone. He's not shaped up. Ergo, Bannage should follow. Link to post Share on other sites
Ledpocket Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I am not for or against banning the member in question. But there is another alternative, I believe. I believe there is a feature in the invision boards that allows mods/admins to set an option on individual members such that all of their posts need to be reviewed and approved before they are actually posted. It is certainly a lot of work, but it puts a filter on abusive/idiotic behavior, and might be a temporaary measure that helps decide if a member is worth keeping around or not. On the board I admin, we never bothered with that. We'd hand out 3 or 7 day bans, and after a few of those, people either left of wised up. Link to post Share on other sites

Misfit Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I personally think this is BS. He should of been banned. May as well do it now, as it's better late than never, especially for someone like this. Link to post Share on other sites

I do however notice that in this entire thread he has not once stood up for himself. All he has done was appologize. I think that in itself deserves at least one person to fight for him, when the majority of the forum wants his blood. Aaron Link to post Share on other sites
hippiehater44 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 ill take the high road and say commandoboy doesnt need to be ban just he needs to watch what he posts a lil bit i dont think anybody on these boards should be flamed or banned(apart from asso) he just needs to cut down thatsa lil bit on the spamming and he would be a good member -jacob Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost_Rider Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 ######s to the quagmire quote. Hardcore is more than capable of bitchslapping this little boy if she felt it necessary. This has nothing to do with her being offended. My issue is that we, as a community, were told he'd changed his ways, and this is why he was allowed back on. I know he spams - a rules breach, and a breach of his 'parole' I know he uses 1337 speak and doesn't spell or grammar check his posts - another rules breach. There are many users who have been banned for stupid mistakes and lesser offences and had not been given as many chances as he has. I find it insulting that he was given this preveledge and not respected it, and thusly feel, quite rightly, that he should be out on his ear. Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Ban. Him. Now. Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Ok, I have PMed R22 of this discussion, and hopefully, Commandoboy will listen to me for once. Like I said in an earlier post, I'll leave R22 to make the final decision, but I will take away his posting ability for a day everytime I see him spamming from now on. This thread is closed.

R22Master Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Wow, I go away for a few days and look what happens. Right, well first off, I can agree with what has been said on the matter already. I had noticed a decline on CommandoBoy's posting since he was allowed back on the forums. This has steadily got worse and now it seems a lot of you are taking offence. This is in breach of the set of rules that were imposed for his resurrection, so he is now banned from the site - permanently. This was a truly unique case. When someone spams, annoys other users, and then creates duplicate accounts - they are gone - plain and simple. On this occasion though, I felt that there were mitigating circumstances that were worth looking in to. I took a chance letting CommandoBoy back on to the forums and I still believe that at the time when he was reinstated, he genuinly wanted to be a valuable forum member. It seems though that once he was back on, he let things slip and was back to his old ways pretty quickly. I am sorry that I made the wrong decision in this case, and I apologise for any problems that this has caused. Cheers all Link to post Share on other sites
