Blazer Fanatic has been banned. (2 Viewers)

[MickZagger]

She sucked.

But, this seems fishy. I've looked at her last few posts and it doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary. My guess is she agreed to quit the board and Sly is saying he banned her to try and make an "example"

 

[dviss1]

He would get warned. It's a long process before someone gets banned.

But thanks for bringing that to my attention, it has been fixed.

Why fix it? "Fixing" it only covers up the wrongdoing. If you call someone a bitch (or any other terrible derogatory term) it should stay up as a reminder not be hidden.

We've tried suspensions with other members. They don't seem to work.

You guys seem to be losing your grip on things. I got tired of this discussion in the roytoy thing but you went and did the wrong thing again. I didn't like her either but wow.

 

[Strenuus]

What a lot of people are forgetting is we are not privy to the PM's. So, it could have been worse in there. All of this is conjecture except for the mods. So, something may have happened that was done above and beyond what was seen in the public realm.

I think Denny's making more money on suspension/ban threads than he is on basketball ones...

Sly's a trustworthy guy. What does he have to gain by lying? I don't agree that he's making an example because there are many in here who believe she shouldn't have been banned. If she decided to quit the board, how does it make him look better by saying he banned her?

Are you also on the Mediocre Man Truther bandwagon with me?

They (the mods) could let everybody do whatever they want and let it become like the O-Live forum.

I say no thanks to that.

Make it a subscription feature, if you subscribe you can do whatever you want!

In PM I don't care if she called them small dick Hitler wannabes. What she had done on the board isn't banworthy. You warn her and go from there. Quite simple.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Wow Homer, way to attack someone when they're not here to defend themselves. If she were still a member of this forum wouldn't this action get YOU banned?
Shame on you for that...

Lighten up Francis. Just a joke, and besides, she obviously has little concern about what other people think.

You reap what you sew.

And thanks for fixing that Sly. I often confuse 'bitch' with 'person'.

Seems to me that the warnings were plentiful... again, "seems" because I don't know. Either do you. You're jumping to conclusions about what you think they didn't do, when they very well could have.

Fishy, indeed. I think she was an experimental 'flame-bot' designed to drive site traffic. After making numerous tweaks over the past several weeks, sophisticated econometric algorithms determined that some posters were in fact posting less, fearing the wrath of B.F., while others felt so emasculated they returned to O-live. I expect they'll have B.F. v.2.0 on-line by draft time.

Privy to the whiny "I'm being bullied by a girl" PMs? Yeah I'd love to get a look at those. Whiners...

They could have rules and follow them like we were taught in preschool. Or they could make arbitrary decisions based on people's feelings being hurt. What would your choice be?

In preschool, if someones feelings are being hurt because someone made fun of them, they get punished... the severity of that punishment would in fact be arbitrary if no measures were put in place... so...

What??? That is just wrong Hobbes. That forum was policed by the mods like gestapos. We'd come in and hundreds of posts would be erased. They would erase whole threads if they didn't like one word in them.

Since this "Official Board of Blazers" change has happened, this place has felt a ton like when I left O-Live thats for sure.

I feel like I cant even work during my actual work day without PM's of complaints stacking up in my inbox.

So what you're saying is some MAN in this forum (actually MEN) got their feelings hurt SO BAD that they had to go tell the teacher they were being bullied by a girl?

GTFO...

 

[Nikolokolus]

I never complained about her to the mods, but besides just being inordinately busy with work, my post-bacc, trying to work on a (bad) novel and general fucking about. I can say that BF definitely contributed to my absence and general lack of enthusiasm for the board in the last few months.

Good riddance.

 

[PapaG]

Mob rules.

Yay

We don't have the choice. The mods do. And they made it.

Don't you think that's kind of sexist?

This thread certainly feels like O-Live.

 

[dviss1]

Note to all of you floppers.. er.. whiners:

The ignore button works.. Now STFU...

 

[dviss1]

Don't you think that's kind of sexist?

Have you ever been bullied by a girl? Have you ever told the teacher on her? There is nothing BF could have typed in here that would have made me write a PM complaining about being bullied. Just sayin.

No I don't think it's sexist at all. I think These whiny dudes in here need to get a fucking life...

 

[Nikolokolus]

True 'nuff. I had her on ignore for ages. Too bad that filter doesn't work on quoted posts.

Yeah, well tell that to Jet and company. They're over there every day going through the same garbage. Erasing is not stopping them from attacking each other. LMAO!
