We are as much accountable as they are for what they say since we indirectly encourage it.

What? No, sorry you're insulting a lot of people with that kind of talk. I'm not going to moderate myself on up voting a post just because the person might do or say something down the line that I don't personally agree with. I've up voted people I've had spats with plenty of times. I think you'll find most people don't give a shit about other people's rep points, it's just a completely lazy way of saying "yeah I liked this post or agreed with it/parts of it" and an e-penis measurement (and I check my points a lot, so I'm just as guilty of this)

I see that Jimmy and Viper got a two week ban from the duke4 forums.

It was long overdue. And 2 weeks is absolutely nothing.

Looks like he has some waiting to do.

Also they are notorious for being anti-Semites, disrespecting people w/ people w/ autisim and Asperger's (Which I have AS BTW), up voting each other's posts, and anything else to add. In the end; Jimmy and Viper really needs to get their shit together and act like adults not like spoiled middle-high schooled kids.

In my view. Negative opinions are allowed as long as those opinions are being said in a civil and respectful manner. It's okay to express your beef w/ an issue you have w/, but don't act like a prick to those you disagree w/ you.

I don't see at all how my post can be considered insulting, but I see your point.

Edit: Actually, I think there's a misunderstanding. I don't disagree with the practice of upvoting sensible posts that people make, but I've seen the shitty/image macro ones get upvoted too. Maybe, like you say, it's just unfair to condemn an entire group of people over it.

If this keeps pedophiles away from actual children, I'm all for it. In fact, these dolls should probably be as realistic as possible.

Sure sounds like great idea, how about they get some good marketing and advertise a massive sale of them at a certain place at a certain time. When all the buyers are in the building, demolish it.

So two buffoons got themselves banned and now all of a sudden people are coming out of the woodwork to voice their opinions on said buffoons. Nope, this isn't gonna be awkward at all when they're back in 2 weeks

calling him ignorant and a racist, then banning him for the (expected) follow-up hijinks?
sounds like baiting.
-worse things came out of almost every Blue Lightning thread. They were locked, but nobody received a hit from the ban-hammer.

"cumulative".
retro-banning for past stupidity.
it was let go for so long that it became the norm

should they have been banned? Yea. Probably awhile ago. To let them act in a certain way over a significant period of time before finally saying enough is enough? It's not like they went too far this time; that mile marker has been set for awhile now. Gives the impression that the rules & guidelines are only enforced when it's convenient.

[Mblackwell]

Like I said if you have questions on why I banned them, or worries about policy or enforcement you can always PM me.




As an aside: Remember that there's a "Report" button. All moderators get a chance to read and review reports and take action, and even discuss it.

They aren't serious about it. Generally their anti-semite instance is non sequitur and revolves around conspiracy theories.

I think I must've exaggerated huh? Has to do w/ conspiracy theories not antisemitism?

i remember the jew comments and aspy comments getting a couple people irritated, and they were asked to stop by said annoyed forum members.

(i've made a few myself, so i'm not innocent of that behavior -it's fun to push people's buttons when they start acting uppity-)

I don't remember if an admin told them to quit, or if they temporarily changed tactics because they were told they were being boring and predictable.

Don't know what units they measure in, but some time ago I was told my B12 level was low and they gave me tablets, I tried to explain to the doctor I eat loads of B12 rich food but he wouldn't have it. All I've done the past few days is sleep and feel very unwell - dizzy and confused. Today I got in to see a different doctor and he didn't even ask me anything, instead he took one look at the test results from before and explained that the threshold is at 200 and my level is around 75; very low. He said that by that stage tablets wouldn't work even if I could absorb the vitamin that way. I was then sent to be injected right then and there.

I've been waiting for this for quite a while, on the down side I do have to get a needle jammed in my arm regularly for the rest of my life (every week for the next month, every three months after that) but the up sides far outweigh this. My face hurts, I haven't really smiled in some time.

[Robman]

Sorry to hear about that man, I wish you luck. God bless

yes. it does. please stop posting selfies.

good thing the doc caught that. Low B12 leads to all kinds of nasty ailments.

Tell them you have a needle phobia and need to have the injection done for you. Use the opportunity to check out any cuties on the medical staff.

The "terrorist suspects" were tortured by US agencies despite it having no effect on national security.

So GTA V was right on spot: torture is ineffective, and it's all a power play.

[TerminX]

After further review I've decided to unban Jimmy. Viper's posts were way out of line but I don't find that Jimmy posted anything exceptionally questionable... if guilt by association was enough of a reason to remove someone, I'd have to be removed as well because I have both of them on Facebook.

I always thought torture was more of a psychological tool used to make the victim crack and give into an interrogation more so than to inflict pain to gain a response.

The use of torture is highly immoral but has been used for millennia and doubtful it'll go away any time soon.
