Interpreting Sig rules

[Mighty Mike]

And why can people not get over this LPB crap?

It's easy for you and RobAGD to say "get over it," but for some of us, it's not that easy.

LittlePaintballBoy is a core member of our AO NorCal crew and a dear friend to all of us. So excuse me if I can't "get over it." LPB is an awesome kid, a great paintballer for his age, and my buddy, and it makes me furious I will no longer see him post on AO. Do i think LPB made a mistake and deserve some type of punishment....Yes, but not a lifetime ban. That is just too harsh of a punishment for a 12 year old, but what can we do about it?? RobAGD is God around here and his word is final.

One final note, imho, having the statement "suck his penis" in your sig is 100 times more offensive than what LPB did.

The rules allow offensiveness, as long as its not a flame and does not activate the curse filter (I know.. I don't like it, but thats what they read).

LPB broke the rules as written, and I still think that had this been allowed to "blow over" rather than made a top of the forums argument with the mods, you would likely have him back. Now all that him back would tell me is to screw the rules because if I have enough people ask for my return and throw a fit in public (I will note your post is quite civil and restrained, so don't take this as an attack on you), even if what I did was in violation, then back I come.

If that's the case, my new sig will contain something like this:

I hate Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, Jews, Italians, Brits, Nips, Irishmen [those drunken bastards], Arabs [all terrorists, of course..], Buddhists, Pakistanis, Catholics, Russians, and anybody else who isn't me. Oh, and the tsunami victims deserved it.


Hurrah towards this entire stupid situation.

Thank you for finally saying that. If someone says something about you and it isn't true then ignore it. They are the incompetent moron who should be laughed at for not knowing who you are.

I guess if we want to keep this a civil place then make simple but broad rules. No flaming, cursing, etc. It's that simple. If someone has a question as to what a curse word is than PM them.

Or my best idea of all. Every single post that every single AO'er makes is sent through the mods first. They have to read every single post and declare if it is appropriate or not. What do ya say Mods?

Still waiting on a response to some fairly simple questions.

>He had a 7 day ban for his sig, which was grossly in violation of the rules, which he was ?
>aware of as he had been edited before.

Which rule?

>As far as contacting the mods:
>If you've been banned, it's probably for quite a legitimate reason, such as the one stated
>above. Most people are aware that they've broken the rules, and are simply trying to talk
>their way out of a situation. Not only is it a waste of the mod's time when someone does
>this, I know personally that it can be quite frustrating.

I'm not quite clear on this last part. Can you elaborate? Should someone contact a mod or not?

As Rob mentioned, I do post things to make a point on occasion. This is one of them. Look, folks, I am all for moderated forums and I understand that it is a rocky road sometimes. I am also fully in favor of having rules, and agree that you should just abide by them or go away.

However, I also believe that you need to be able to have a dialogue about the problems in order for the whole system to continue effectively. That's all this is about.

LPB Was not permabanned for his sig.

He had a 7 day ban for his sig, which was grossly in violation of the rules, which he was aware of as he had been edited before.

In the middle of serving that ban, he registered and activated a new account, and then used that account to PM and Post on the forums.

The ban evasion earned him a perm ban.

I hate to drag this back up, but when I read this in the banned forum it caught my attention.

With the exception of the length of the original ban, what is the difference?

I saw that As well. Why wasn't Echo given a Perm ban, as LPB was?

[AO Moderation Team]

Because he wasn't and also his original ban was a minor in the scale of offences (hence the 3 day ban not a 7 day). Echo actually broke his ban by a matter of hours not days, it entirely is possible that since he used his brothers account (he said this in the post he made) he may not have even realised his original ban was not served. Do not look for parallels between LPB and Echo as they are not there.

Nice veil.

Yeah, we know you were put up to it. You voice the opinion of someone else who will not post for himself, and instead uses you and others as a veil to do so. It's a way for him to get his 2 cents in, and avoid getting banned himself.

Don't you feel used?

Interesting. Innuendo from an anonymous source. Talk about veils.

Are you, whoever you are, referring to anyone in particular?

[Z-man]

I think they think they know it's you or your offspring fugitive that made Squid do that.

It would be immature of me to jump to conclusions.

Nah, I saw the irony in it a mile away.

Though I do wonder who is up to the "AO Mod Team" posts... After all, it was you (or a group of people?) who once banned me... I am afraid that I have to kick your *** through the internet.
