Whats with the banning? rsh&boggin banned.

[JohnnyO]

I remember reading a few threads that were getting heated last week, and figured the ban hammer would fall soon enough...nice thing is...he will be back...and same as RSH and whoever else was banned in this round...

If we weren't the best site on the net, they wouldn't keep coming back.

I dont really think the things said warrent a ban, RSH and Boggin do post a lot of junk but they also give helpful info, I dont know who Jason is, I hope they come back after the ban, this place wouldnt be the same without them, I remember a certin member (skid) who never did return.

Arguing on a internet forum is like racing a civic, even if you win your still retarded

with all the options the mods have I think a ban should be the last option, send a PM, lock the thread...

Seriously? With all the options we have? It wasn't an hour after we banned them someone else was asking about what happened. You actually think by locking someone's thread and leaving there won't be another thread started by that person taking off where it left off, or whining about why they are being picked on?!

Don't worry, they will be back. The ones who cause the most commotion always come back. Boggin's been banned, what? three times so far?

That's not true, "they" keep coming back for many reasons. Not that it's the best site on the Internet, usually it's either the person feels the ban was not legit(fault of the Moderator's failure to explain the ban to that individual), a beef with a user, or to be annoying.

why is it I can be here 363 days out of the year, leave for 2 days and come home to drama.

I have to read through the threads and see who did what and figure out why people were banned. I see one already that stands out. Not really to sure about the other two.

I did see where other members were already bringing up the subject of people being banned and knock it off. It's usually a no-brainer when the members are calling for a band.

None of this has anything to do with 2wd or 4wd. It's all about the flaming/conduct in the forum.

I also have to check with the mods to see if there were prior warnings given that I don't know about (sent by PM - not infractions).

As far as asking why a member was banned, I have no problem with that. We should be able to give a clear reason as to why someone was banned. I like to know myself to make sure we're not getting ban happy, or that we have a mod banning someone just because they don't like them.

Hey, all I gots to say is that it coulda been worse.

At least nobody got defenestrated.

ooo big word. Do you know what it means? i havent heard that since high school english class.

a while back i remember there were a lot of people getting banned. once that was done, everything was back to normal and fun again.

You'd be the worst mod ever...... everytime somebody said your bullet bumper or stinger looked lame you'd hack their account and make their profile say they were gay and in a relationship with a toyota owner.

I justed wasted my time to read 7 pages of this and forgot everything i read when i saw this!!!! LOL
Now THAT is Funny!!!!

maybe if the ban was legit people wouldnt have to ask, oh no, I spoke my mind, am I the next to be banned?

words of wisdom, I remember a thread about quiet tires that got some people banned and righyfully so, but this was nowhere close to being that bad, and knowing some of the banned members outside of this site they were not warned (to my knowlege)

If we had a answer to why all three got banned than others would know what thay can and cannot say, I think the mods do a good job most of the time but I think sometimes there are personal greevences (sp?) and maybe just a litter power hungry. I normally stick to the build/tech threads and dont get involved in such arguments but I think this went a little overboard.

 

[modelageek]

I am not even sure what this whole thing is about, but if it is about the off-road truck of the month. it seems to me it is not called the 4wd off road totm.......so why cant a 2wd win it without a bunch of yahoo's screaming about it................

 

[Frank The Tank]

I vote we just lock and close all threads and start over from scratch. That would be fun.

I just thought I'd say this is one of the reasons Jim is seriously the man. Like a checks and balances system for TRS. I love it. Watching our backs is a damn cool thing to do.

LoL, I don't even remember the forum rules(and NO I'm not going to read the like TEN stickies in the General forum. )

 

[feellnfroggy]

OK after reading three mores pages of this, I have come to the conclusion that FRANK-Your officially fawking nutz, LOL. Jim- has leadership written all over his pink underwear. OIl patch has a not bad idea, if the rules are already posted somewhere maybe a sticky would be slightly better option. And There was someone else hang on im readin....oH yeah, Im curious how the rep power padding thing went.

You gotta love a website where 50% of the members are prepubescent, and the others are legally nutz. LOL I get a good laugh every single day. Even when Hatman got banned and I stood up for him, I still laughed at him over beers. LOL

Hey now....we're not all that crazy.

I have been told that wearing a bicycle helmet everywhere I go is a bad sign, but I disagree.
