Isn't cercomventing the ban by registering under another name grounds for a permanant ban? I'd e-mail the webmaster and delete this thread if I were you.

You got banned for 5 days for the "xmag for sale" link you had in your sig.

Here is cphillip's words on the matter:

"You have an inappropriate link in your signature. I am removing it. It links to derogator kind of a site but is disguised as a X mag for sale link. You have been warned many times before for other violations. This one is over the top. Imposing a Five Day Temp ban for it. Do not curcumvent it or I will make it permanent - cphilip"

Here is the thread itself: http://www.automags.org/forums/showt...threadid=63644

Well now your banned on this one too.

An Inappropriate link was hidden in your signature as an add for an X mag sale. This was after the fact that you had recieved numerous warnings for cursing in the last few days. I finaly had enough. I gave you Five days temp ban. And I warned you if you curcumvented that it would be permanent. Clear your cookies and you may view the forum. And I will let this one slide as I am not sure you recieved your email by the time this occured so I will email to this new one as well.

New email just sent to you on this.

supermagballa = now banned as well.

[cphilip]

thanks Brian...

He now has two emails to read I suppose.

[cphilip]

Uh oh guys I may have to un ban him!!! He has now put forth the eloquent argument below! (I am kidding) FYI it was a link to the Pimps and Ho's web game by the way. Mostly it was his repeated violations though before that one.

How is it inappropriate?! If it said matrix for sale you wouldnt have made a big deal of it I bet. Pbnation and pbcity dont care, why do you, if it was anyone else other than me you wouldnt do a thing about it.


Where are rules saying what is and isnt innappropriate?


And report to my isp!? are you joking me? what are you going to tell them "Yes mr so and so posted a link to an online GAME with NO swearing, NO porno, NOTHING illegal.


Come on now this is gettng ridiculous.

Kids today,they don't make them like they used too...........

[cphilip]

well he is right...this is not Paintball City...

I just thought some of you might like to see what goes on behind the scenes is all. I did not use his name but that one is typical of some of them. And of course appropriatness is a subjective thing so it's hard to know. But then again if you have been a trouble maker already the judgment window is considerably narrower. For instance if an member that had always been good and was productive had done that he would just have been told to change it. But...Not to the case here. And the report to the ISP he is referring to was in the case he should attempt to curcumvent again. A temp ban would never include that.

But just so you know some of the thought processes that have to go on and can see its not always black and white to make these calls. And of course there are several steps involved in the actual temp ban being placed.

First is to reply to the thread and then to clean it out and make your comment. Sometimes that means you have to go to his profile and remove something.

Before you can do that you have to copy off any pertinent info and save it for evidence.

Then you have to annouce to the other Mods what you have done and when.

And then you have to go into the control panel and do it and note any other usernames that may crop up and IP's.

then you have to email the person... and so on in response to things like this one.

Its not simple and we do not do it lightly. As its real work.

why are you always picking on meeeeeee!? pbnation and pbcity let me do it. why don't youuuuuuu!? you guys are just upset because i used your precious xmag in the link. so there nahhhhh.

Where are rules saying what is and isnt innappropriate?

where are the rules? i don't see any rules. where? the post that says forum rules please read? that couldn't be it. why would it be there? what the pulldown that says "forum faqs and rules"? that's a stupid place to put it.

Phil, I don't think you are allowed to have an opinion on this matter!
