Markm needs to calm down

[Muzikman]

Ya know, the whining is getting just as annoying as the post whoring.

It's a damn online forum. If you get banned, take it as a sign you need to get out and drink more beer. If you don't like the rules, take it as a sign you need to get out and and see the real world. If you just don't want to follow the rules, take it as a sign that you need a night or two with a woman. And if you can not understand the rules, take it as a sign that you need to go back to elementary school.

Edit: And on that note, I pushed the hate to 4 pages

I agreed with you on page 3, just can't quit reading. As for this argument that "I'm a senior member, the rules don't apply to me" Unless your AGD or Zupe I don't give a who you are - the rules apply to you. A senior mature member who violated a rule should be mature enough to look back, figure out the mistake it was, and keep in mind I never said it was anything but a mistake, apologize to the moderator who had to take action because of YOUR error, and GET OVER IT.

As for the "I'm a senior member and I don't like it and if it happens like this I'm going to leave" . Bye... contrary to what you may think this is an online community of reasonable size, there are not that many people that care if you post or not. The moderators have a hard job - a lot of what they do are based on judgement calls. The fact of the matter is Joey did violate the rules (and from what Phil has said should have known better from past violations). It was a mistake on his part, I'll bet he's learned. I don't go on PBN because of the whining, powertripping kids - here I'm getting "I'm a senior member, I have more rights than anyone else" Sorry... having to remind people your a senior member, and then giving the impression that your presence on the board is some great thing... well it surely doesnt gain you respect.

What he said

[Echo419]

You i can undertand... but how could you ban such an influential member such as myself?

owned....

::edit:: Ok seriously, I think MarkM or any other mod needs to ban everyone who whined in this thread including myself. Stop doubting AO, you know girls PMS? Well I think the AO community is PMSing right now b/c we just lost our president... So just everyone go buy the girl some chocolate and have a happy holiday

[p u r e e v i l]

About that...

MarkM PMed me the other day asking me to remove my sig. I did so willingly but must admit that at first I was a bit frustrated at having to do so. I didn't see the content as offending, but everyone does have their own opinion, and people had obviously complained about it.
Marks PM was rather polite and I had no objections (other then the ones in my head telling me to protest and keep it up...There's a little rebel in all of us.) I guess he could have been over reacting in someway, but it wasn't like he had just removed my sig. Instead, he asked me nicely to remove it. I'm not sticking up for anyone...then again, I just got back in the loop of things.

Funny, nobody saw it that way when Tyger deleted the thread he threatened to kill me in....

That was the old software Vbulletin version. We truely did not have a way to retrieve them then... or we would have.

I don't know MarkM well enough to say that he is power tripping, but I do know that when I read that original thread, I was suprised that joey got a ban from using effing.

And effing has been used a lot since then in discussing this incident.

For me, I don't swear. I use the work heck and freaking. So effing has as much conotation to it as freaking.

If I ever get banned for circumventing the cuss filter, that will be the day I would say the mods are over the top. Cause I don't swear.

Also, I find it funny/ironic that one can say this:

Google is genius.

But not:

Google is effing genius.

You know that the code for that little smiley is : cuss : hmmm....interesting that that can be used but not ****. The little dude himself is spewing out stuff that should result in his ban.

I move to ban the guy for circumventing the cuss filter in a habitual way. Has he been warned?

[Pickle]

Jeeeeese! Semantics.

Here's an idea......mods remove the as an icon and end the stupid debate.

That's not what the debate is about. That was comic relief.


SWOOSH!
Did you see that?
Huh? What?
That thing, it just flew over your head!
What thing? Dude what was it, a ufo?
Nah man, a joke....you totally missed it.

didnt you say if you post something and it activates the filter, ie lots of *, then go back and edit it? so if mango would have just "edited" the "offensive" parts of his post it would have been allowed? why is it allowed to edit ones post but not to delete it? or does that only apply to "offensive" language?

I do understand comic relief and yours was admirable. However, this is not the first time that people have complained about the cuss icon irony. You weren't the first (sarcastic or not) and I doubt you will be the last.

[Beemer]

Get over it

Markm needs to calm down

No he doesnt............

Keep up the good work Mark youre doing a fine job. Oh ya You to cphilip and ALL the other Mods

Everybody else go read CPhils posts, they say it all. This aint no Chinese DownHill. Follow the RULES and get over it. I cant see why it is so hard for everyone to understand

Ah, I see. I've been away for a while. I'm just getting back into being active on the boards after being away for most of this year. That's my excuse anyway, what's yours. j/k!
