It has come to the attention of the Collective that 5 members have been issued with banning notices.
This is a war crime as none of them (look at the posts) did anything worth a ban.
You are presented with these demands or I will withdraw my drones from the field.
1. Reinstate all 5 banned members.
2. Apologise for the cowardly banning acts.
3. Promise never again to amend our polls.
4. And other stuff we will think of later.
SOB
WE ARE BORG
OK, since we're playing stupid games, and since it's Relationships, I'll play a stupid "hypothetical" game too. Every time you winge, I'll suspend you. First for 24 hours. On the second offense, it will be for 48 hours, then 96 etc.
Tor buddies don't count. We usually delete spambots. What are you doing on Tor anyway?
Do you think that would be a fun game to play? You might like to test it to see how hypothetical it is.
if I may respond on behalf of the Victorious Alliance members who are sadly not with us this evening.
if you want to ban people for 'winging' you can't ban anyone because the word does not exist. perhaps you meant 'wHinging' (emphasis for the uneducated), in which case go ahead, you have my blessing, but you'll be banning 80% of the members. that is provided you're not excluding the righties or the subscribers to the 'spot' threads.
you used the word 'stupid' twice in your statement, and the tone suggested that you don't like stupid, rather, you admire intelligent people and contributions? more on this point later.
Tor buddies don't count you say. I say your point is irrelevant, on the basis that 'some' members post from sensitive locations and do not want their ips posted on the web by the media (one being a law clerk) or any others who wish to denegrate them if discovery is made. some people have read internet reports of wrongdoings where boards may not be as ethical as this one and are reserved (frightened) about giving out information which is not mandatory. privacy. not important?
but, know this that the people that you banned committed no offense, and I quote as an example my bans which I accepted in good grace, were a result of nothing more than pissing off someone in admin because he or she lost the debate and the plot.
in all of of engagements with the vitriol heaped upon our glorious Leader, there was never any moderation, to prevent same. read the posts.
our troops in the main, were positive, of good humor and, where possible, fun.
people in glass houses.
anyway, spell it out.
a. are you banning people for simply using tor? if so then advertise it to the worls, make it part of the registration process. (but surely anyone can tell the difference between a spambot and the members on tor who have been posting here. no?)
b. are you banning people for whinging? eh? .. lost for words here, like banning grand prix drivers for speeding..
c. this forum has been a very important part of our Leader's life, who has made a significant contribution in time and effort, really clicking the numbers over for you guys.. but unappreciated. you want everybody to be the same as your 'same-olds'?
btw how long is spot's ban?
and while you're at it, ban me, I'll just spend more time making money and holidaying in $1k a night resorts (ahem confessing to being shared by 3 people).
so muso, spell it out, because the if you want us to move on because you don't like us, we will.
need to know who is being banned and for how long. post it here because we don't have assess, but can 'guest'.
I can write stuff like this because I have an american graded IQ of 103 and Quantum, you will never, ever make the troll list. while my bum is pointing down.
