I suspended Mediocre Man for 3 days.

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

Natebishop is right that post would have been just deleted if it were a male poster.

The irony here is that MM was suspended for a post where he was actually right: It's odd that this new 2013 poster dishes more insults out than anyone on this forum, but one insult thrown at "her" and a long-time poster is suspended for 3 days. That's injustice.

Not that it matters here per say but BF has a long history of personal attacks and trolling on the former Blazer forum Iamatrailblazerfan. While MM took things a little to far there is quite a history from BF to consider as well.

Additionally if Zags knew about MM kids and wrote that then he should be banned, it was completely off topic, a personal attack and blatant trolling made even worse by MM's suspension knowing he cannot retort.

No, MM was not right. 100% not right. You're new here and maybe not clear on how we do things here. Personal insults are not allowed. Doesn't matter if someone insults you first. No personal insults. It's very simple, attack the post, not the poster. That means if you don't like what someone said, tell them that.

Acceptable - "Your post is stupid."
Not acceptable - "You're stupid."

Attacking someone's post invites them to defend their opinion. Starts debates and conversations. Debates and conversations are what makes forums fun.

Attacking or personally insulting someone only causes them to insult you back. All debate and conversation ends and all you're left with is post after post of BS that no one wants to read. Also it causes never ending butt hurt between you and the person you were trading insults with. "Remember when you disagreed with my post about the salary cap in 2006?" is never said because it's not that big of a deal. "You called me a mother fucker 10 years ago and I've hated you ever since!" are the types of things that people don't forget when it comes to personal insults.

This has been explained to MM numerous times, I'm not sure if it's been explained to you. MM's post was wrong because it was a personal attack.

Now, as far as who did what or said what on a different forum. I don't really care. To be honest I was a complete asshole when I posted on Oregonlive. Now I'm only an asshole part of the time. See, people can change. I don't really care what a person did on a different forum. They're here and we do things a little differently.

So welcome! Talk Blazers, debate posts, just have fun!

This post is so stupid and idiotic that it makes me weep for the future of mankind. It also makes me wonder if the person who posted it is a dog.

The first part of your post is perfect! Attack the post, not the poster! Great job! Rep'd!

The 2nd part of your post was just a waste. Duh, we know it was posted by a dog.
 
As long as we stay consistent with the bans, bring it. I've seen a lot of lee-way in the past.

The quote got messed up it came from Roytoy not from me I already agreed that MM was out of line for him comments.

I recognize that this is a different forum and people can change this is just one example of someone not changing and reducing the quality of another site. Iamatrailblazerfan is pretty much dead and Oregon live sucks I do not know about you but I would rather not have this site become either one of those.
 
I already chimed in but I will say that BF dishes out as much or more then she takes. Obviously (at least it was to me) MM was over the line, as was Zags but I agree with Nate that women should not be judged differently. If BF goes down the same path (and she started to) as some other posters then there should be swift action.

Love what BF brings when she sticks to bball. She doesn't do that all the time though.

Walk it off.
 
Hmm…..…I always try to imagine that I'm speaking to that person face to face before I post. Just saying.

Yay another brilliant contribution from BF, oh wait never mind that reply was off topic, combative, and utterly as pointless as the WNBA. Seeing stuff like this makes me as sick to my stomach as Navarro felt after Batum showed some aggression on a basketball court for the first time in his life.

OT. PS to call the shot Batum would have needed to raise him arms before Lillard released the ball otherwise baseball fans call the shot all the time because they stand up and cheer a home run before it leaves the park. SlyPokerDog is bunnies.

It is amusing to me that my 1 innocuous post in 9 pages, of which several post are passive aggressive insults directed at me, could draw so much animosity from an individual.


Perhaps have someone in your house hold that can read the quote below, do so out loud to you, and explain it in greater detail what it means.

Trying to hurt my feelings hasn't, won't, and will continue to not have it's intended affect, but by all means please continue to share your's feelings with the rest of my rabid fans. I know it is literally eating you up inside that I stopped responding to you. So here's your fix. Now, walk it off.
 
My question with regards to this thread: Are you suspending him from a balcony by his ankles or above a table with a cape, wand and top hat? I find the ankles from the balcony ultimately more effective...(cough)
 
I don't think moderating this forum will ever be black and white nor do I think it should be. If you boil it all down to a set of hard and fast rules you could just program a bot to moderate the forum.

I think we as mods should take insults and problems on a case by case basis and use our best judgement as to what is the appropriate action to take. Using some kind of check list moderation policy wouldn't work.

Pervert!
 
Zags intent was no different than MM's. Use personal information to provoke and to hurt.

So why was the punishment different? Because Sly perceived MM's attack to be worse, but why was it worse? Calling someone a whore is really no different than calling someone an asshole. Unless she is, in fact, a whore.... it should be no different than any other generic insult. On the other hand, poking fun at someone losing custody of children that they were taking care of is much more personal and hurtful.

I guess that's just my opinion though.

Poking fun? Or not believing its true? It was more definitely the latter, more mocking.

That's a personal insult. Not the worst I've seen and not the most direct but you're pretty much calling him dumb. Not acceptable.

The rest of it I suggest you just ignore him. Continuing to argue with him is only going to end up with one or both of you being suspended or banned. You both seem like nice people but when I suspend or ban someone they tend not to like me anymore. I'm running out of people that like me on here and I don't want to add either of you to that list. For the sake of our burgeoning friendships please STOP FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER!
 
If you say so.

Funny, although I didn't say so. I said if you call someone one of those names then I assume you would get suspended. I just gave the list, I'll let BF, MM and Zags call someone one of those names.

There I thought I would get repped for coming up with a creative list, instead I get suspended. Story of my life . . .

I don't know if SPD is going to suspend Mic or B-Legit . . . but he is in a suspending mood and someone is going to be suspended for that video . . . . probably me. :)

Edit: never mind I love SPD (repped right back)

Edit 2: I have to spread rep around? I actually repped SPD recently, what was I thinking?
 
If my Zags lose tonight I'm gonna call all you guys needle dick nut garglers.
