When we asked numerous times to keep the thread on-topic and/or to start showing respect to all members on the board it is expected those requests be followed.

For real. Is it too much to ask for an ounce of respect in the posts that get moderated? I think everyone knows us well enough to know that if we deleted something or banned someone, it was for good reason. If you have a deleted post or have been banned and you don't know why, perhaps step back for a moment and take a breath before posting 'why did you delete my post!?!?!' or 'why did I get banned!?!?!?'....I've received a few PMs or IMs from people like this and I'd appreciate it a ton more if I just didn't. If you don't know why, please give the moderator the benefit of the doubt and trust that we have good intentions and are not personally attacking you, your family, your mother, and your dog.

An ounce, please. Just an ounce.

Here is where I stand on this.

The people at fault need to man up and accept the fact that they're wrong. Scheides and Kracka dealt with it as they felt they needed to and that's the end of the subject.

Spaz, Peter and anyone else involved needs to calm down, drop the animosity and get on with life. There is no sense in expressing your profound hate for one another on this forum, on Facebook or even in person. I like all of you guys, but reading some of those posts in the bashing threads made me downright sick. You all know better.

Quit being idiots before I ban you all myself.

JET seriously, we could take up a 8 hour shift talking about driving drunk stories back in the day with no fabrication needed.

Well after sitting quietly by reading pretty much all of this stuff going on, I think I have a solution....
Mitsustyle summer cage match, that should take care of the problems. I'll supply gloves and headgear if need be...lol

If I were going to the cruise, I would. Everyone would have to get mouth pieces too, last time I sparred I made the mistake of thinkin I wouldn't need one, and chipped a tooth...no fun in that.

Great idea! I actually had a similar idea. Settle it with some good, clean, safe violence.

I've got two pair of padded sparring nunchakus.

I vote cage fight!

Dundars · 04-07-2009

Damn, missed most of the juicy stuff I think.

Read almost every post in this thread, I agree with Swifty, it's kind of bullshit that only some got banned and others didn't. Spaz made a DEATH threat and he skated by, simply because he has a bromance with the mods obviously.

I guess since I've posted here, which hasn't been long, I've noticed 'selective' modding. As in some peoples post will get deleted or edited when others peoples post wouldn't.

Would it make you feel better if both you and Swifty also got banned? Spaz made nothing even close to a death threat; he made a comment that was twisted way out of proportion which he admitted was not in the best taste. The moderators of this board to their best to moderate everyone fairly. An established member will be allowed more slack than a new member though which I think is fairly common across forums. Our limits were tested damn hard and we made warnings numerous times before a single ban was handed out. I've deleted Scheides posts before and he's deleted mine; heck, if you look above Scheides even deleted one of his own.

Where is the logic behind that statement?

It was a vocalized offhand curiosity with an implied threat if read in context. And you can't say that it wasn't, Hughes.

I obviously misread then and was wrong in not banning you too. Implied threat or not, it is still not an excuse for what ensued on this board.

Firstly, for the record, 2 people were banned because they didn't shut up when asked to, and three more were banned because they wanted to make some sort of statement.

Secondly, was the implication there? Yes. Did I seriously mean it? No. Is it fair that I'm not banned? Probably not, but that's not my call to make.

If that's the case then, enjoy your ban along with the others. See you friday

you could always do a drinking game... good ole friendly competition!

**asshanson** · 04-07-2009

^^ I like this idea. I'll probably lose (or win, depending on how you look at it), but oh well. There is fun in trying.

EDIT: I took this out, but decided to leave most of it in. I don't think there is a bromance with the admins here, some of the people that are banned are friends with the mods too. The main reason for banning was because people didn't stop after being asked. Not based on prior actions like spaz's or anyone else's comments, but in this thread alone. Those things that were said have been deleted so you can't see the whole picture, myself included.
