Title: What's up with the bannings lately?
Post by: tu_holmes on May 22, 2014, 08:59:29 PM
So it seems that some people have been banned and what not... Alex... Disturbia... Plus others... What gives with the ban hammer?

While the gimmicks are sometimes irritating, I'm wondering what the deal is... They made the board entertaining to say the least.

What gives?

Why is it if I type in someone's name, it changes it? Or is that mod doing so?

Anabolichalo broke forum rules. OMR described why he was banned.

I guess I just get confused as to the "Forum Rules"... I understand that there are rules, but let's be honest, rules around here are about as flexible as a rubberband.

One person banned for a rule that 30 other people break is often how things go.

I believe its the extent to which the rules are broken. I agree that rules are broken all the time. However, with Anabolichalo, he broke many forum rules within a short amount of time and was pretty severe (making racially charged comments toward Lobstah). Plus, he was spamming the board with a lot of stupid threads. While we all break forum rules here and there, with Anabolichalo it is so damn obvious. When you draw that much attention to yourself, expect to be banned. Again, its the degree to which he broke the rules.

never understood the thing with gimmicks or trolling.

be a man, act like a grown-up, post your experience, post your question, bounce your ideas off of others who may have similar experiences, ect... I dont' see the point in the trolling shit or gimmicks with your 'alternate personality' and whatnot.. seems like a lot of wasted energy.

Gimmicks and whatever are just a part of the forum... Especially getbig. That's just how it goes.

They are sometimes entertaining, sometimes not, but that's just how it goes.

Sure... some are way more irritating than others, but you can always ignore them.

Some are hilarious.

First, people were bitching about zero modding. Now it's overmodding.

So which is it?

I don't know. It wouldn't take very long indeed for this place to turn into the seventh level of TO hell if the modding were to go away completely.

I am going to engage in a little OMR ass-kissing here, so those with delicate constitutions might want to click the "back" button now.

The mods do a good job walking the line between over and under modding. I like Halo and I didn't find his shit that problematic, but I get where the TO came from. He likely went over the line, although I didn't see it.

Hopefully, he'll come back and be the same bodybuilding Asberger's self, but without the stuff that gets you TO'd. He probably won't make it because gimmicks gotta gimmick. But a man can hope...

cant complain about mods---they give ample warning and a lot of leeway

Alex23 was just insane about gimmicks and posting peoples personal info, stalking female members, trying to start GETBIG 2 gimmick forum etc-----Ron gave him far too many chances

the same dudes that complain about gimmicks are the ones to get all heated over someone getting banned--cant have it both ways

I gotta agree. I think the modding here is pretty top notch.

They give you a ton of leeway. Tons of warnings.

I gotta say halo started to kind of grow on me towards the end but you gotta respect the board.  I can't sign on with anybody on here who continues to act like an ass when the mods and Ron go out of there way to give someone 17 different chances to straighten up.

If you get banned from an internet website you are a fucking idiot.

Halo was funny once you "got" it.  But every so often he lose his shit or forget his meds and the spam would happen.  I'm not concerned, it's not like this is his only fake persona or message board.  He'll be fine.

Well, "fine" as in relative to him.

You sound bitter about something.

You should seek help.

If I'm the scared one, then why do I post with my real name and not some "alias", "monstermunch".

Go ahead and figure out your whitty retort. I'll wait.
