Interpreting Sig rules

[teufelhunden]

If you've been banned, it's probably for quite a legitimate reason

Just make sure you emphasize the probably. We've all seen the BS handed down as bans recently.. and I don't even need to name names.

OK, One more time. THIS IS NOT ABOUT REHASHING LPB'S BAN.

This is an attempt to have some dialogue about how the rules are promulgated and enforced.

I understand, I was simply using him as an example of how things can appear to be one thing, when in reality they're not.

This is one of the reasons why we now have a public ban list. Now everyone can see what the process of banning was, and for what reason.

Nice.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all convictions, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Nice Ryan, I'm a WB Yeats fan. And the Second Comming is second-to-none...

Public is the place to discuss issues like this... Saves you from having to type it to a thousand individuals, right? I hear moderators gripe about this being a bad topic for the open forum at the same time they complain about having an unending supply of PMs come thier ways. The only thing that I will visit this forum for is the Meet and Greet so I know when the Cali games are to be played. I figure it's one less poster for our omnipotent mods to babysit. I got a lot of grief about my last sig from RobAGD, so I think I'm cool off this place for a while. Thanks for wiping our collective cracks RobAGD.

Guys - please don't make this a bash-the-mods thread.

Hey Aegis, thanks for letting them kick the crap outta me before you posted again

Just remember:

Choose your companions from the best; Who draws a bucket with the rest soon topples down the hill.

Or this:

Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people.

Take that, you poetry snob you.

You were a student of Socrates weren't you? Tell me, is it true that his last words were "I just drank WHAT!?!?!?"

Actually google has to get more credit than my education or Socrates. However, I think his actual last words were in Greek.

I wouldn't know, I wasn't there. I'll have to take your word for it

If you find a thread/post that you think action needs to be taken on, use the "notify mod" button. They will look at it and make a decision.

If you are banned and have no clue why; First, look at the banned thread. Second, contact a mod via Email, AIM, or in chat. What Tater is saying is that a lot of people know why they were banned, but still contact a mod to cry about it.

If you follow the rules all will be good. If for some reason a mod should contact you about something you posted or your sig, be polite, don't be a "richard". If you do decide to break the rules, be a man and take your punishment without crying.

I have over 4000 posts, have been here since Dec of 2000. I have never been banned, I have only been notified once about a sig infraction. If you look through my posts, I don't think there is even one that would be questionable. So, be like me, and all will be goo.

[teufelhunden]

There's no such thing as questionable. There's clearly breaking the rules and there aren't.

Hey, I need some more soma..

If he deleted the content which is against AO rules,

Sam, what did you mean by this? ( The red hi-lited text)
I actually went and read the rules (for the first time ) and couldn't place it any where. (?)

Please go read my last post. It is a good idea when reading a thread to make sure you read all the posts in it. Many times your question may be answered.
